See General Lee run. See General Lee jump. See General Lee slide.
Somewhere out there, a serious "Dukes of Hazzard" fan is yelling, "Yeee-Haaa." And writing a very fat check.
The famed General Lee owned by none other than Bo Duke (played by the Agoura Hills actor John Schneider, for you city slickers) sold on eBay Friday morning for $9,900,500, becoming one of the most expensive cars ever sold.
Schneider is selling the 1969 Dodge Charger so he can raise money to produce a next installment of his family-friendly movie "Collier & Co."
For that amount of money, the buyer, whose identity was not immediately revealed, could have bought every one of the top-10 most expensive cars on the Forbes list last year.
But how many cases of moonshine can you fit into the trunk of a Bugatti Veyron?
