Car Description
1968 Dodge Charger 2-dr Sports Hardtop Coupe, ‘The General Lee’ Tribute, powered by a 6.3L 383cui V8 Chrysler Mopar big block engine and driven by a A727 Torqueflite 3-spd column-shift automatic transmission.
Of all cars in the world, ‘The General Lee’ is probably the most recognized, even more so than a Bullitt Mustang or a DeLorean. You can see it coming from a mile away with it’s Confederate Flag adorned roof and the ’01’ on the door.
This car looks incredible going down the road and still great from 10′, however as you get closer you will see that there is plenty of patina in the form of dings, scratches, paint blemishes, rust bubbles, etc. The paint has a nice deep gloss to it, but again ….. its not perfect. If you want a show car, then this is not the one! That will cost you three times as much. If you want a car you can drive guilt-free ….. then this is it.
Body: The floors and trunk pan appear to be in great condition; there is a small section of each rear frame rail supports which have been repaired; the panels do have some rust bubbles, as shown in the photo’s; but overall though, this is a much more solid car than many of the breed.
Interior: Inside the interior shows its age. The seat upholstery is tired, the carpet is worn and the typical fading of the instruments is evident. Much like the outside it shows some wear but you certainly wouldn’t hesitate to throw your friends in the back and worry about anything.
Drivetrain: Under the bonnet lives a Mopar Big Block. This one uses a 400 block and has a noticeable lope to the idle; the 4-barrel carby has a nice deep note and plenty of low end torque; and there is even just a hint of an exhaust leak like the original car. The 727 has a nice firm shift that will bark the tires on a spirited upshift; on the road the cabin is nice & quiet with just a low pitch rumbling; steering is tight & responsive and the braking is excellent thanks to front disc brakes.
Summary: As you can see there is still quite a bit of resto work to do on this car, however overall this car is a crazy fun driver and would make for a great promotional car as is.
