Up for sale is one of the nicest General Lees you will find. I have owned this car for close to 10 years and driven it regularly. There are a lot of "thrown together" General Lee's out there built by people who flip cars or had no money to do it right. This is not one of those cars. This car was built to be just like John Schneiders personal General Lee. Here is a what the car has.
First off it's a 1969 Dodge Charger. Collectors don't want a 68 or 70 that has been changed to look like a 69. The General Lee is a 69 Charger
I've got at least $15,000 in the engine bay alone.
440 cubic inch engine that has been bored .30 over.
Aluminum Edelbrock heads with Crane Roller Rockers & Push Rods
TRW Pistons
March Performance Pulleys Serpentine conversion.
BeCool aluminum radiator with dual electric fans & overflow catch can (polished unit)
3 inch TTI Exhaust & TTI Headers Ceramic Coated & Polished.
Dynomax Mufflers
New correct windshield wipers
Miloden racing oil pan.
KBS Shocks
Front end rebuild kit with bushings from PST
Power steering Gear box, uick ratio pitman arm (Police Issue Box)
Aluminum transmission cooler
Edelbrock Carb with inline fuel pressure regulator.
Hemi rear leaf springs
Shift kit installed in transmission. This car literally jumps when you hit the gas!
MP front Disc Brakes (don't even think about buying one of these beasts without disk brakes)
Hemi Differential to handle the power of the motor
Sub frame connectors to stiffen up the frame.
I have painted the subframe with POR-15
The interior and trunk have been sanded down, OR-15 the entire interior of the car, Dyno-matted the entire interior of the car and truck than brand new Legendary carpets throughout.
Custom Dodge Charger floor mats.
Alpine CD/mp3 player and custom installed speakers.
Brand new door and dash trim in the correct tan color
Brand new shoulder and lap belts for safety.
Hotchkis Sway Bars
Now about the General Lee...
This car has real vintage American Racing rims that have been POWDER COATED. Not those god awful re-issues. This car has the 15" American Racing rims. It gives the car a much more aggressive look with the bigger tires.
Screen accurate POWDER COATED front push bar that is bolted to the car.
New Legendary seat covers that are the correct color for the show with rare "buddy seat".
Car comes with the correct teardrop antenna (not shown in photos)
Dixie Horn wired to separate hidden horn switch. You have two horns in this car. A regular horn on the wheel and Dixie under the dash.
The Bad
The General Lee has a few rust spots in the typical rust prone areas for a Charger. The spots are on the two rear quarter panels and on the trunk area next to the rear window. Any good body man should be able to patch these and paint them easily. The car is painted in single stage paint (paint + clear mixed) this makes it super easy for body shops to fix up scratches, tc. (see photos) I would rate the paint about a 7/10. It's good, ot great. If the car was newly painted it would be a $45,000 car.
The car needs a CB, never got around to putting one in.
The car has no roll bar. We have kids and a roll bar makes the back seat completely unusable.
I could never get the reverse lights to come on in reverse. When I put power to them they come on so there must be a bad ground or bad switch.
The front door lights don't come up on their own. You must flip them up manually if you are going to drive at night.
Very small oil leak while engine runs (few drips and hour). It does not leak when engine is off. Probably needs a new rear main seal. It has done this for the last four years and hasn't got worse.
That's it, ther than these small things the car is fantastic!
If you would like more photos or information please let me know. The Car is located in Northern Colorado.
This video below is the actual car you are buying. Please note some of the photos I listed were taken just this week and some are older. I wanted to you to see the work that was done 8 years ago when I bought the car.
