The General Lee broke a sales record on eBay this week. Actor John Schneider, who played Bo Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard, put up his version of the General Lee and it sold for $9,900,500. If the bidder actually pays the money, it'll be the biggest ticket item ever sold on eBay. Schneider says he's stunned, because he only expected $3 million at the most for the car. He says he'll use the extra cash for a vacation and to fund a sequel to a movie he recently made.As I mentioned earlier this week, the 1969 Dodge Charger that Schneider put up for sale was not featured in the television show, but it did make an appearance in the movie Dukes Go To Hollywood. It has signatures from all the original cast members and it actually drives! Schneider has taken it to charity events and even raced it.

Ridiculous. For a lot less money, you could simply hire someone to custom-build a replica. And as the news points out, this General Lee wasn't even used in the series! The bidder is an idiot with too much money.

I'd buy TVSquad and have them post reviews with a 1 to 10 rating.

I wonder what the 1977 "Bandit" Trans AM from Smokey And The Bandit would go for? Anyone think it would surpass the General Lee?
