Bo Duke has a negative feedback! It seems one eBayer didn't get their autographed photo!

Nice.

I have a friend who has one of the original General Lee's used in the TV show that he rebuilt. He let them use the car in the Dukes Of Hazzard movie (and they let him be in the movie as an extra).

OK i'm a fan of teh dukes of hazzard and i have one question that ive never found the answer to...what is the logo on top of the car?

 

[movingconcierge]

Are you referring to the Confederate Flag?

OK i'm a fan of teh dukes of hazzard and i have one question that ive never found the answer to...what is the logo on top of the car?

I asked a question that went unanswered but would be muey importante to me as a bidder; can I use the likeness to turn a profit. i.e. does the ownership of the General Lee carry any limited use of the TM? Maybe the folks bidding $9 mil. have gotten an answer.

Update! 1/2 hour left!

US $9,900,500.00
End time: 38 mins 54 secs (May-04-07 10:02:36 PDT)

I think the winning bidder is either a fake or a billionaire named william fisher (GAP)...

According to Yahoo, it's a done deal!

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - The famous Dodge Charger from 1980s television show "The Dukes of Hazzard" has sold via an Internet auction for an astonishing 9.9 million dollars, according to a page on eBay.com.

 

[movingconcierge]

If you shoegum the winner, you'll see a very unimpressive online presence, not anything like you'd expect. He shares a name with a billionaire heir of the GAP fortune.
