That title says it all...So hear it is, a couple of days ago I was surfing around blogs, websites and more looking for those daily news stories and rumors looking for the next interesting topic as if I didn't have enough to talk with NASCAR and all, but on one of my new hot spots, the Cardomain blog that got the story for this CNN story, there it is a story about John Schneider's "General Lee" that he had showed off including on a recent show on televison that cover the Dukes of Hazzard event at Bristol last year and he is now selling it on ebay.

That day, it still had 2+ days out, the bidding was for pre-approveled bidders and at 2.9 million (I think), so I grabed a couple of photos and left, considering the Dukes of Hazzard is one of my favorite shows and I have all the seasons on DVD.

Fast forward to today and I find out it sold for 9.9 Million Dollars on ebay and that it missed the record of 11 million dollars, wow, what price for a modified 1969 Dodge Charger with a 426 HEMI. That's cool.

So let me get this straight, John Schneider's "General Lee" sold for $9.9 Million on ebay motors and Carroll Shelby's personal Cobra sold for 5 Million dollars at this past January's Barrett-Jackson...damn, I wonder if Carroll Shelby would have sold his Cobra on ebay, what would that had made, $11 Million might have been broken.

Bottom Line, that's one fine ride for a premium price, whoever purchased that, enjoy that one...but will that person or group (the owner) drive it? What love to know the answer, its got a HEMI, burn some tires and have fun. Well at least John Schneider still has the General Lee he did a stunt for..See Yeah!

Update: Days later, buyer backed out.
