Celebrity Auctions
General Lee Conquers Las Vegas

Posted May 21st 2007 1:34PM by TMZ Staff

The General Lee made a visit to Las Vegas this weekend, but the car isn't drawing a lot of bidders in its eBay auction -- none so far, in fact -- and the auction closes May 29.

"Dukes of Hazzard" star John Schneider, still a hottie at 53, escorted the car to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where they're making a pre-auction appearance -- perhaps the final one before the car sells ... hopefully for real this time!

The car went back on the block last week, but so far, the $100,000 starting price hasn't had a nibble. The car had gotten a bid of nearly $10 million in a previous auction, but the bidder flaked.

4. Wonder why the header states 100% of the sale price goes to charity...then they say at the end only 5% will ACTUALLY go to charity?

Seems kind of fishy to me.

5. Yes, John is still a hottie at 53. I can't believe he hasn't been on t.v. shows over the years! The only thing I've seen him on was Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.

6. I doubt thats the original. The original used in all the chases took a lot of wear and tear in those high speed chases and would be alot more beat up.

7. Yes, he's still got it! But please get a clue people - #5 He has been on TV recently. He played Clark Kent's father on "Smallville" for several years.
And #6 That's one of the original cars that he has personally owned since the show. They used ~ 30 cars during the shows production.

8. who was the " FOOL " that valued the car at 3 to 4 million ?

9. Scuse me . I worked on DUKES and there were a LOT more than 30 cars . might want to add another ZERO there .. they wrecked at LEAST one a day if not 4 .. I have NO clue why John thinks that car, NOT from the series is worth as much as he thinks it is .. As I said on another page .. Perhaps Jay Leno would be interested . but I tend to doubt it .. it was the cheapest car (then) we could find . had to fix it all up . engine.. paint it .. AND in original auction there was something about 'money being used for movie about the car?' .. now it is screwed up again AND . JOHN..NO bids you can revise title .. everything there .. I do NOT know what happened to the nice young man I met back in '78 when we worked together . I am hopeful you have NOT changed .. I saw you last at an autograph show as you 'checked it out' . .now you are buying a new Ferrari or a car? .. what happened to the 'movie' ? . .I am VERY confused .. so is WarnerBros Transpo .

As I said before .. Best of luck

12. I live in a small town in Texas. There are several of these cars running around here, No, they were not used in the Dukes of hazzard TV show. But from my understanding these cars are worth no more that $3000.00 THey are not that attractive, (I think the Dukes car is ugly) and the beginning auction price is ridiculous. If this car has been up for auction in Vegas with no bidders, you can bet something unusual is happening: people are actaully being smart for a change.

14. CASINO OWNERS ARE MISSING THE BOAT OR THE CAR TO BE ACCURATE. THIS CAR WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE ENTRANCE TO A CASINO . MAYBE MORE INTERESTING THEN MADONNAS SHOES THAT ARE IN THE HARDROCK IN FLA
