John Schneider awaits final bid on General Lee

[@chevykisses66]

...i AM crying... I would NEVER sell "The General Lee"! N-E-V-E-R ! Why did you John? :(

[@Traviswd4d]

Great send-off! Thanks for being the best part of my childhood, John! That car brought back some awesome memories.

[@Crusader7077]

What a contrast between what turned out to be a screwed-up Ebay bid (almost $10 million, which wasn't a valid bid) to what is now the actual final bid at the 2008 Barrett-Jackson Car Auction (under $500,000).

[@ford9572]

I have a replica General, It has a 528 crate engine that puts out about 825 hp at 9000 rpm, has custom 6 speed Hurst manual tranny and a 4.32 rear end, Has EXCELLENT working AC & Harmon-Kardon stereo/CD changer with MP3/iPod hookup, It also has aftermarket power windows, locks and cruise, I Sometimes use it as a daily driver when my 2009 Charger HEMI's in for service or maintenance, IT REALLY ROCKS!!!

[@Paramedic14855]

The Dukes of Hazzard was my all time favourite show growing up, and it saddens me to see John let go of such an iconic part of his past, but its his decision.

[@sheldonhall4572]

He's a Christian too which is pretty cool.

[@LeonardFShanerJR]

James Best "Rosco" is still living he's age 82 I been watching the show from the start! Len.

[@YourTubeVideoss]

Hello John , I remember Watching The Dukes When I was a Kid in 70's - SO SAD to See The General Lee Sold ... Memories !!!

[@reeneegaadee]

John is a great guy!! Funny and spontanious...love to hear him doing the Yeeee Haaaaa-thing!! Like ol' times!

[@candygirlcat2007]

Love you John!!! You was my heartthrob as Bo Duke!!!

[@CarCrazy12804]

John Please get a hold of CMT! Tell them to put the Dukes of Hazzard back on tv where it belongs!!! From a loyal upstate NY fan!

[@kssk6749]

It must be nice to be rich...

[@BigCatinTn]

I don't care if he has 100 of them...that's NOT the point! I think it was VERY admirable that he sold the car for charity. Ten MILLION bucks is a LOT of money...and John gave it away to CHARITY! How many of you people would do the same thing? It goes to show just how good a guy he REALLY is! God bless you John!

[@sk8erdude454]

if tht was me i would cry... 69 charger is my dream car and dukes of hazzard my fav show!!! 2 in 1!!!!!!!!!!

[@leroy33100]

was this the one where they had to go to court.I dont know what is was all about,I thought one time that the guy who won the bid didn't have the money.any of you know about that

[@viggoM35]

WOW!!! I had no idea it sold for this much. It's a cool ride but even for $1 Mil I would have sold it long ago. Way to go John!

[@jjlwis]

It's funny... this General Lee sold for $10 Million... but John's personal General Lee but souped up also a show car... just sold for a little over $230,000... strange..

[@BeeABaw]

is it the one that had all the signgers on the inside hood of the car

[@73sebrougham]

funny the guy never paid

[@mrbarnard1]

This was my brush with a ten million dollar fraud. Very painful. You can imagine how we planned to spend the money, only to have it disappear because of a fraudulent bidder. One of the worst times of my life (and then the Writers Strike and the Great Recession followed...)

[@TheAirsoftmarine68]

There was Bo's signature !!!!!!!YAAAHOOO!!!!!!!

[@whitedust696]

well done

[@vintagemachines]

The equivalent of selling your soul? A sad day for TRUE classic car lovers.

[@mapleblackdrums]

@chevynut71570 The director said more like 400 total.

[@blissfullycat02]

@bigbadge107 It was only a replica he had built and they used in the reunion movies and at duke fest. From what I hear, he has one of the originals but it is never driven and kept stored, brought out a carried on a truck to events.

[@jago101481]

John Why in the hell would you sell this. Don't do it John don't do it.

[@marcelloabreu999]

John Schneider'm 39 years old, I'm a fan of the show since childhood, but in Brazil there is not much about the dukes, even I only have until the 1st and 2nd season of dvd and wanted to get up to the 7th and final season. I'm a fan and would like to purchase a few more items. I'm your fan and fan of all the cast Marcelo Abreu - São Paulo - SP - Brazil

[@Aka_daka]

[@fitbikecoO1]

[@rebelrecording]

[@Garciajr_21]

[@RockinGuy1994]

I would never sell that car!

[@sk8erdude454]

how could he sell this??

[@kc5tng]

9 million 9 hundred thousand and 500 hundred dollars for the General Lee? And somebody is saying "Why did you do it John? DUH!!! Let me make a wild guess here....couldnt be the money...I mean, well, YEAH!!!

[@jpatt1000]

At first I asked myself, "why would he sell it?", but then for that price, You could buy the best replica in the world, a McLaren F1, Bugatti Veyron and still have change!

[@gilbo437]

Sweet..

[@30sherra]

[@GavinJones19982]

[@neffada53]

Almost ten mil? But it's priceless.

[@dogalways]

[@jrflyerfpv]

Wonder what the Paypal fees would be on this, LOL

[@nullity]

[@alphadelta227529]

Rosco/James Best is still alive brother, he's gettin up there in age, but still kickin.

[@shawnh.2334]

get a clue people, he clearly says its from a new movie, its not an original general lee

[@2015joe]

I can't believe that Bo Sold The General.... I have wanted that car since I was six years old..... That must have been like selling his own brother... he doesn't look all that upset about it though...

[@Rexzilla10]

@alphadelta227529 so he still more for him?

[@GavinJones19982]

This guy is a legend

[@LisaS1]

hey John Schneider "you are my General Lee!" "I love you!" I envy your wife.

[@DodgeMan360]

Hardwood floor in the garage, hah sweet.

[@djkissbird]

Well if John wasnt already rich he sure is now! lmao

[@kylejacques]

@Snowman374th Rosco isn't dead. He is still alive!

[@TheInterracialAddikt]

Heritage not Hate!

[@dogalways]

[@RCCrashMaster]

y did he sell it

[@SuperCrudedude]

Damn if he really got 9 million out of it he'll be set for life...Restore another sign it and sell it...Keep doing that till you reach 100 million.

[@rebelrecording]

@Mustangman675 your kidding!!Damn!!!

[@MrKyledude18]

sad to sell a General lee but for $9,000,000,+ I think it's worth that to sell a replica lol... that is my dream car a 69 charger that at least looks something like the general lol maybe throw in the classic horn

[@MrFreakman2000]

wow ten mill

[@TheAirsoftmarine68]

@Ishouldsk8more !!!!!!!YEA YEEEEEHAAAWWW!!!!!!!

[@batmalbat]

X 2

[@horseboyken]

it turned out the bidder was a"dirtbag" and did not pay 9mil john got 300k for it, but the car is actually a highly modified 700hp crate motor hotchkis suspension gear vendors overdrive transmission i believe it also has nitrous as well

[@ChargeDodger]

I hope that doesnt end up like the other 10,000 copies of general lee that ended up on dukefest

[@nickwalco]

.... he can always make another one.....

[@malakaijub]

pa kent

[@SSduckclub]

I'd settle for Daisy's Road Runner

[@drmorb]

Great hair.

[@dogalways]

i know i cant dream to sell my either my naked car

[@DeWina512]

@serioussam40 309 Charger were destroyed

[@GenericGene]

Beats the hell out of an Aussie Falcon -

[@bignitalian2]

LMAO!! everyone in that video is so gullible. please tell me you guys really didnt think that car was worth almost 10MIL and not think that there just might be a problem with the auction? i am surprised how clearly everyone was able to talk with all those big hooks in their mouths.

[@nexgenhippy]

You'r reserve bid of 1 million has been met. 'yes it has' lool

[@petrob08]

nearly 10million for a car?? i would have sold it too, he can go buy 50 more for that

[@TheRonnie63]

@buckshothuff yea you r right and funny

[@lightbarmarci]

I delegated with attention the ebay,grew old....:(

[@HUMMFREAK]

9.000.000?!

[@gearhead2017]

why did ya do it john?

[@donmega3000]

9mill huh?! Good for him. But as far as the buyer..............Come on man. You could of had 10 fully loaded general lee's for the price you paid. And.... paid John schneider a million just to say its his. for all you know that could of been dude in the back ground car, and he just said it was john schneider.

[@maysonjohnson]

@rangaman86 I wasn thinking the same thing!

[@LFC-Star]

$9m wow..

[@richguy920]

who the heck would pay 9,000,000 for a CAR. why not just go an exact replica its just the same

[@SchmoozeMinkey]

@richguy920 That's what I did. I bought the RT with the 440 Magnum engine and had it customized by a pro, roll bar and all. Traded another customized car for it, a duplicate of the car in the Universal Picture "The Car" with James Brolin. He sold it to a rock rand for a bundle. There were soooooo many stunt cars for that series, how do you single out the 'original'? There ain't one!

[@dozedrift]

this car sold for 9 million?!? Why? I know its a cool car and all, but 9 million?!?

[@jkwon85]

he originally wanted 1mill,but it went to 9!

[@24preacherboy]

@richguy920 Some oil guy with a rag on his head would spend that kind of money.

[@DJCD01]

@Snowman374th Jimmy Best aka Rosco.. is still alive and kicking

[@D3Z1R3Y]

309 actually.

[@TheLiambarrington]

Jealous much!

[@nickwalco]

he needed the money to make his movies

[@oreokookie1000]

WELL OK... NICE CAR....BUT there were over 100 of these chargers wrecked to make the t.v. show!!! L.O.L>

[@chevynut71570]

@oreokookie1000 It was closer to 250 cars wrecked..... A total shame. They had gotten so low on chargers in the hollywood area, that the cast was out leaving notes on peoples chargers asking if they would sell them.

[@BigMilos1987]

Didn't the money go to the childrens miracal network?

[@nickwalco]

@stillthechampionnn his last eppy of him aired on Jan 26 2006, he put out an Indie. Film Colier and Co after SV with HIS money, he NEEDED money.

[@ErickAvanaq]

It's all about it... MONEY :(

[@bigbadge107]

In the DUKES OF HAZZARD episode THE GENERAL'S B DAY UNCLE JESSE said it was like family and you dont give up on family.Why did you do it JOHN?BO DUKE whould have kicked your ass for that.First time I whould have agreed with a fictional tv character to .
