John Schneider General Lee
The sale marks the second highest finish for an auto auction, the first being the $11 million 1987 sale by Christie's of a 1931 Bugatti originally owned by the Bugatti family. The General Lee was purchased by William Fisher, owner of knifecollectors.com. Schneider, who played Bo Duke in the series, is currently starring in his own family film called "Collier & Co. -- Hot Pursuit!"

Schneider tells TMZ, "It just proves that when you clean out your garage, be very, very careful about what you throw away!"

The eBay page of the General Lee auction received over one million hits during the week-long listing. ON Saturday, Schneider is taking the car for one last spin, to fulfill a Reel Angels wish for an ill child who wanted a ride.

6. Why doesn't the buyer take that money and give it to charity. What a waste of money that could save lives! How selfish and pathetic .....

7. I can't believe how STUPID some people really are. The General Lee was a prop in a movie. This idot could have gotten the same make of car and refurbished and replicated it for under $50,000. He obviously has more money than he knows what to do with. Hey, idiot: why don't you throw your money to help underpriviledged children, the elderly or crime stopper programs. I hope the car breaks down on you.

8. cause he could spend the 10 mill on homeless people but then the next guy would spend 9.5 million on the car... that's the way it goes

9. I would love to have one night with John Schneider, oh the sinful things I would do to him.

10. Funny how 10 million dollars for a car and People in his state go hungry go figure.

11. Oh SHUT UP. Stop harassing the buy for buying the car. OH MY GOD, he spent $10 million on a car, money that HE EARNED. What an ass!
Please. Not everyone is obligated to give to charity.

What about that $20 shirt you're wearing? Why don't you wear a paperbag instead and give that money to the homeless? Instead of drinking wine or juice, drink from puddles when it rains and give that money to the homeless. Instead of eating meals everynight, eat out of a garbage can and give that money to the homeless.

Please. You're all just jealous that you're $10 million poorer than this guy. GET A LIFE.

12. LOR should be ashamed. Your parents raised a fool, or they just decided you were a lost cause and gave up....LOSER

13. yes its a shame he has to spend that much money on a car. has he heard of Africa or hurricane victims? Props to John though for taking one last spin w a sick child.

14. Uh, punkybrewster...I think you were the one who was raised a fool. If I spend 25,000 even 50,000 on a car, am I going to hell too? So he spent 10 million in a car: I would too if I had the money. All this critisism about this guy "not helping the hungry, or saving lives" coming from the same people who critisize Brad & Ang for adopting from 3rd world countries... You're all idiots.

15. What a bunch of bleeding heart liberals. If any of you had 10 mil giving it to poor homeless people would not be at the top of your priority list. The guy wanted a car and had the money so he bought it. Same as any of you buying a big screen tv instead of feeding some welfare mother making more babies so the welfare check will be bigger. I'll bet that each of you complaining never gives a cent to anything, you just like to be higher then thou. Get a life, it is not the responsibility of those that have to support those that just live for a hand out. Oh yeah, remember the next time you give change to that guy on the street he is most likely making more each year then you and not paying taxes, see 60 minutes for that story!
