    SOLD! General Lee Sells for $10Mil

    http://www.tmz.com/2007/05/04/dukes-...st-10-million/
    John Schneider's personal General Lee, the 1969 Dodge Charger from the "Dukes of Hazzard," sold today on eBay for a shock-absorbing $9,900,500.00! Car-ching!

    The sale marks the second highest finish for an auto auction, the first being the $11 million 1987 sale by Christie's of a 1931 Bugatti originally owned by the Bugatti family. The General Lee was purchased by William Fisher, owner of knifecollectors.com. Schneider, who played Bo Duke in the series, is currently starring in his own family film called "Collier & Co. -- Hot Pursuit!"

    Schneider tells TMZ, "It just proves that when you clean out your garage, be very, very careful about what you throw away!"

    The eBay page of the General Lee auction received over one million hits during the week-long listing. Schneider is taking the car on Saturday for one last spin, to fulfill a Reel Angels wish for an ill child who wanted a ride.

    That has Eddie Griffin written all over it. I hope it hasn't already been paid for.

    wow, 10 mil? Can't believe it, I think that's way overpriced.
    Imagine the joy the seller is having now, it's possible he made more selling this car then he ever did on the show lol.

    how can this be real?!
    i read that ebay advised the seller to only use ebay pre-approved high ticket buyers which i think he did...

    so my question is...how can a reproduction of the general lee sell for more than Carroll Shelby's personal 66 super snake cobra that recently sold for 5.5 mill...

    how?!...a replica general lee?!

    i havent read anything about the payment for this actually coming through...has anyone else?
