XP29G8B441410 • Screen-used throughout The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) in chase and stunt-driving scenes where the car was not damaged • Originally the production's "shell car", later completed as a hero/stunt General Lee used for both action and promotional work • Built from a genuine 1968 Charger, disguised as a 1969 model for continuity with the original television series • Retains original camera mounts beneath the chassis, full roll cage, reinforced suspension, and Vector 10-spoke wheels used for stunt work • Still bears production labels "Car #19", "Pre-Hero 2", and "Hero Stunt #1", applied by Warner Bros.' picture-car department • Featured in poster photography and Jessica Simpson's These Boots Are Made for Walkin' music video • Offered with Warner Bros. Certificate of Authenticity • Acquired by Movie Cars Central through auction from its previous owner Originally assembled at Hamtramck as a 383ci-powered Charger, this car was later acquired by Warner Bros. for use in the 2005 film The Dukes of Hazzard. Built initially as a prototype "shell car" to define the modern General Lee specification, it was subsequently completed as a fully functional hero/stunt vehicle. Reinforced with a roll cage, uprated chassis, and heavy-duty suspension, it was used in high-speed chase and stunt sequences, as well as in non-destructive hero shots and promotional photography. Though based on a 1968 model, the car was modified to 1969 specification to maintain continuity with the iconic television series. It retains rare production features such as its camera-rig mounts, on-set identification stickers, and Warner Bros. picture-car department markings confirming its screen use. Following filming, the General Lee was sold via auction and later acquired by Movie Cars Central, where it has been preserved in authentic production condition. Offered on a bill of sale and accompanied by period filming photographs, Warner Bros. documentation, and its 846A customs document, this represents a genuine screen-used example of one of the most recognisable and celebrated movie cars of all time. Saleroom notices Please note, after further research, we can confirm that this car has been used for bonnet slides scenes during the filming. Moreover, the car has been used in the Jessica Simpson's clip "These Boots are Made for Walkin". The page of the 2005 movie car: /vehicle.php?id=10539 -- Last edit: 2025-12-01 19:40:36
