Customizer Puts '06 "General Lee" Dodge Charger on eBay
Date Posted 08-04-2005

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida — Custom South, which specializes in one-off custom versions of Chrysler and Dodge vehicles, is auctioning a special "General Lee" edition of the 2006 Dodge Charger, as a promotional tie-in with the new The Dukes of Hazzard movie that opens this weekend.

The car is listed on the eBay Motors Web site, with an asking price of $49,000.

The blurb that accompanies the promotion says: "This idea was created on a cocktail napkin at about 1:30 A.M. in a brainstorming session by the Custom South design team."

The original "General Lee" was based on a 1969 Dodge Charger.

Custom South says offers can also be submitted by phone at (727) 409-6547.

I am not so sure what they did to it other then the wheels, flag, numbers and some daytona parts. 49k is insane if thats all they did.

Oh My....
Maybe if the base color was not so.... "cabernet" and a little more "ORANGE"?
Something just doesn't look right about it.

One thing is for sure - movies DO sell cars.
Bandit Edition T/As, Bullitt Mustangs, Eleanors, etc.

Yes, it looks like they left the color stock (whatever Dodge calls that Orange). I don't think they repainted the whole car at all. Just the numbers and the flag on the roof. I think even the black on the hood is stock when you get the R/T option package.

Wheels and some paint/decals on the doors and roof = $26k markup?

Who even said it was paint? I'm betting is just a couple hundred dollar sticker job.

You are correct. I knew there was a factory option that got you the black hood. My bad. The Daytona model is a cosmetic job and a slightly different exhaust (for 350 vs 340 hp) above the regular R/T (hemi), right?

The regular R/T can get the "Road and Track" performance package as well for $1,500...you don't need the Daytona to get 350.

Call it the R/T squared

Nope, the daytona does not come in that color. It only come's in 2 colors. They just used the daytona parts.
