The Story of “Cooter and The Grey Ghost 02”

[@scottbell7286]

Always good to hear from Cooter.

[@musshwins412]

Thanks for making my childhood fun.

[@edantonuk690]

Damn I seen the pic but didn't realize that was actually cooter my God i miss the dukes of hazzard great seeing you 🤗🤗

[@haroldrose7507]

AGREE

[@tonyl.6581]

It really is good seeing him!

[@jterry211]

Cooter you are my hero. You held me when i was 2 years old in your wrecker. My mom came back to the auto show the next day and you signed the picture.

[@ThomasSmith-rp6xv]

You need a black tilly also to complete the collection! I would love to see a movie about Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg back in the thirties when they were young and running shine! Sort of like the episode days of shine and roses! The early days of hazzard! I love it I love it! Awesome job Ben!

[@VeliusCoba]

Black Tilly would be pretty sweet to the collection, That's about the only car I've noticed he didn't have one of, That or "The Mean Green Machine".

[@ThomasSmith-rp6xv]

The original black tilly from the episode Days of Shine and Roses! The old car Jesse was driving in the old film they were watching at the boars nest! 1930s style car! Not the ford Ltd from High Octane or the ford mustang in Days of Shine and Roses!

[@williamduhamel7726]

Since someone brought up Black Tilly from High Octane (s1,e5). The LTD, was that Gator’s (Burt Reynolds) car from White Lightning?

Cooter is awesome! Love the gray ghost! Miss all you good old boys. Great to see you again!

[@workingguy-OU812]

Man, that is a sweet car! Thank you for creating it and sharing it.

[@OttoTheWeim]

Cooter was always one of the most lovable characters of the show. He was more than often the actual hero of the episodes as well. I miss that show.

[@lowket]

What a proud addition to the Dukes lore. Thank you for sharing and keep it comin'!! C'mon back.

[@bobkat1663]

Great car thanks for sharing.

[@guardrail2897]

I once passed Cooter in the General Lee driving down route 211and it was raining. As I passed him, I noticed he had his head hanging out the window. Then I noticed his windshield was completely fogged up. He never missed a beat. I beeped my horn and gave him the thumbs up and he gave me the thumbs up too. True story.

Thanks for keeping the Dukes of Hazzard alive Ben, and for all the work you've done, the service to our country, and most of all standing up for the confederate flag and the south. Loved the shoutout to Mosbey's Rangers too. Keep up the great work!

God bless you and yours Ben. Beautiful Studebaker. My dad had a 1954 and it was grey. Darn good car's ! From back then.

[@traviswatts9082]

My brother and I stayed the night at our grandparents every Friday night and watched the Dukes of Hazard. Major part of my childhood!

[@Go4BrokeOffroad]

I didn't get to see the ghost when I was there but I did enjoy finally getting to see the museum

[@michaelvrckoff6966]

Thanks for sharing cooter . Man I miss the dukes of hazzard . Here in Australia it was on at 4pm so I'd rush home from school and watch every afternoon

[@RickNethery]

Grew up watching the show, glad you're doing well Cooter. God bless

[@adronholland1903]

Keep it going, colors on top would throw controversy now but let it ride we know history, that's what it's all about

[@leekronforst4589]

Hurrah for the team that came in second place during the Civil War. Also known as the LOSERS. The first participation award in the history of the country.

[@tylerhubbell6410]

Its still a part of history regardless.Go wine somewhere else.

[@helland846]

@@leekronforst4589 's that why the very mention of The Confederacy sends liberals and Yankees into tremors 155 years later?

Exactly, and most of the tine it isn’t even for history. Just a little stupid fun. Of course though, we aren’t allowed “Fun” nowadays

I thought holy crap uncle Jesse is still alive! Just kidding Cooter Awesome content

[@aaronvandoorn1276]

I want there on My vacation last year 16 hour drive but well worth it time to make another road trip the road Trip. greetings from Iowa

[@phillipholt6005]

My dad had one when I was 4 years old and I always wondered why he leaned back to start it then I found out the starter pedal was under the accelerator pedal and it was supposed to be a choke option instead of the manual device on the dashboard!

[@Sandhill1988]

Been meanin to watch this video and I'm glad I did. I vaguely remember the gray ghost from the show, glad I watched just to refresh my memory.

[@LMarshall73]

My great-grandfather's grandfather served under Mosby. Very cool tribute.

[@kevint.4968]

What about having a go at the #76 68' Chevelle with the "Cale Yarborough" 427 Big Block? That was an Epic Machine. Same goes for the "Jude Emery " 71' Roadrunner that Daisy had with the Side pipes,Cross Ram and the Slotted Mag wheels. And of course Both the blacked out "Sweet Tillie" 71' Custom 500 Interceptor package and Black Tillie 68' Mustang Coupe Moonrunner cars of Uncle Jessie. Those are ones that would be incredible.

[@stephenhopkins9541]

Cool ride!

[@trynsurviven2440]

A show that can never be duplicated and stay as popular as The Dukes of Hazzard.

[@dondagy9109]

Love seeing you guys still have fun with this, as someone who watched this as a kid in the early 80's.

[@andypressley4702]

Love to come up there one day may the good Lord be with you Andy from Abbeville sc

[@rodney1182]

Well I'm certainly glad I read the description! Great story!

[@doc_teamwaxoffroad]

Sharp.. 👍👍👍

[@ericruss4189]

I absolutely love this car! I need one like it.

[@fredbadgett7962]

1950 Studebaker 3 passenger(Business coupes) are very rare. There maybe a tag under the hood on the passenger side firewall beginning with "9GQ"- the next number between 1 and 4 is the trim level-1 being the highest,4 the lowest.The numbers below those are the sequential body number. For example I have 1950 9GQ4 body number1545, of only 1562 produced. I highly recommend purchasing a reproduction 1950 Studebaker shop manual,it really helps keeping these cars purring.

[@modeladenny1218]

After moving to Florida I had a 1950 4-dr Commanderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. A long car!

[@juliabaumer8315]

I love the old cars back in the day

Great video always good to hear from ya !!!

[@markfortin421]

Hi Cooter!! Ya know, the whole premise of "The Dukes" was fun, y'all kept havin' fun right to the end, but unfortunately there are people that took the show WAY TOO serious, and still do. (Tear down statues, erase history and eliminate a certain flag) I LOVE seeing y'all havin fun and that Studebaker is the perfect start to a "Dukes" renaissance....don't forget the horn! Hope to see more of you.

Hey @Cooter's Place Nashville Ben hummm well that's interesting ! but didn't Cooter have a 1) Starsky and hutch colored Gran Torino ( as seen in the episode One armed Bandts ) , 2) a Nomal Dodge Charger ( Seen in the episode Dukes Meet Cale Yarbough ) that was painted like the General lee , 3) The myth and Ledgend that cooter built the double zero " 00" 1968 Ford Mustang and was Cooters before he gave it to Buzz this roomer comes about from Johnny Lighting sayin on the box that double zero was Cooter's Ford Mustang . so it is possible ? also there was 4) 1975 blue plymoth Farrit ( as seen in the episode Mary Kaye's Baby ) and 5) Cooter's 1970 Chevy Camaro ( as seen in the episode Luke's Love Story ) 6) Black Tilly / Sweet Tilliy and Black Tillie II Mustang before he gave it to Uncle Jessie ? and there also was those werid cars in the Model kits 7) Cooter's Cuiser and 8) Duke's Digger so i kinda don't get you man when ya say that Cooter didn't have a Race car of his own ? it seems he had a lot to choose from ! also wasn't Boss hoggs Race cars 1) Hell cat / 1981 Chevy Malibu and 2) GRAY GHOST and GRAY GHOST JR 1978 CHEVY CAMARO sooo ? did Cooter own the Gray Ghost before or after Boss Hogg did ?

[@JettBlast]

The production of the Dukes of Hazzard wanted the General Lee to be Grey, George Barris said it would not would be hard to see the car. He said you need to made the car bright and easy to see like Orange because it was in Conyers Georgia in the Fall of the year it would blend in...

[@yakacm]

At the far right is a piece Sun Electric garage equipment, for doing tune ups on old analog cars. My old man worked as a salesman for many years for Sun in the UK, he'd have pieces of equipment that were for demonstration use, on Saturday mornings he'd use these to do tune ups on folks car, and use the money as his beer money of a Saturday night, lol.

[@waynekerrgoodstyle]

The Saint Andrews flag is actually the national flag of Scotland (where I live), but it doesn't have the red cross on it or the stars. Very cool car.

John Singleton Mosby aka the Grey Ghost was quite the character. Sometime in March of 1863 Mosby and his men captured two Union captains, 30 enlisted men and 58 horses without firing a single shot. Mosby personally captured Union General Edwin H. Stoughton while he was sleeping in his tent. Mosby woke up General Stoughton and asked him if he ever heard of a Colonel Mosby. Union General Stoughton ask " Yes! Did you capture him? The Grey Ghost laughed and said "No Sir I am Mosby!"
