General Lee Up on the Block -- Again!

Posted May 17th 2007 12:39PM by Celly

John Schneider put the General Lee up for sale a few weeks ago, and it "sold" on eBay for almost $10 million ... until the bidder turned out to be a chump!

Now the "Dukes of Hazzard" car is going back on eBay, but this time John "Bo Duke" Schneider has contracted a private company to pre-approve all bidders in advance of the sale, which started May 19.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Pepperdine University's Boone Center for the Family.

3. I would love to see the General Lee featured in the new line of holiday greeting cards that Amy Sedaris is coming out with this fall -- or even on the wrapping paper.

4. The jerk shoulda known any bid for 10M was a fake- no car 's worth that..NO CAR.!...Schneider was an idiot for not immediatly cancelling the sham bid.

6. Now, that's a car.
It's not worth what they're asking, IMHO, but that's still a CAR.

7. Can you believe the idiot is racing the car THIS WEEKEND. Hope it doesnt spin out or crash the weekend before it is to be auctioned.

8. What is the big deal about this piece of Redneck history. If you watched the show and were an adult, you had to have at least a third grade education. This is right up there with Hee-Haw. Pleassssssssseeeeeeeeee. WHAT A JOKE.

9. HASN'T THIS IDIOT LEARNED HIS LESSON? LIKE I SAID BEFORE SERIOUS CAR SELLERS TAKE THEIR CARS TO BARRETT JACKSON - BUT THAN AGAIN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT JOHN SCHNEIDER.

HE MUST REALLY BE DESPERATE FOR THE $$$$$$$$$

10. Better luck this time to John. I'm sure all of those here who are throwing names and insults around so freely (and whose spelling and punctuation are so exquisitely correct) are also generous donators of their money (and time) to charity. :-)

11. It's really sad when people become so cynical that they have to resort to insults and calling John names because he didn't sell the General the first time around. And if anyone's the "idiot", it's the bidder. I hope that jerk gets everything that's coming to him. Next time, read the "whole" story and don't be so quick to judge.

12. There certainly are a lot of jealous people who are name calling and throwing insults around because they can't afford to buy this car. They should be ashamed of themselves for attacking a person who gives so much of himself to his fans. Wait until this second auction is over. The General will come out on top. It always does!

13. How many of these cars are there? Is this the last one? I doubt it.

14. THe car is ugly. Im surprised it doesnt start itself up , run itself off a cliff and commit suicide.

15. How come no one is owning up to the fact that there were many, many General Lees used in "The Dukes of Hazzard"? And, why should this one be worth any more than any of the others?
