‘Just the good ol’ boys, never meanin’ no harm, beats all you’ve ever saw…’ If you’re old enough and geeky enough to remember that song, you’ll know that the real star of the Dukes of Hazzard wasn’t Bo, Luke, Flash the dog or even Daisy’s perfectly formed…erm, jeep. No, the star of this so-bad-it-was-brilliant slice of 80s TV was the good ol’ General Lee.
Seemingly indestructible, this souped-up 1969 Dodge Charger roared its way through each goofball episode (and the frankly disappointing 2005 movie) like grits through a goose. It could even leap through the air every time it hit a bump. And now, thanks to your Lost Sheep-lovin’ buddies here at the Firebox ranch, you can yee-haa your way across the county in this fully-functioning, R/C version of one of rubbish TV’s greatest vehicles.
Working headlights
The General Lee R/C Car is an exact replica of the fantastically orangey ve-hi-cle driven by them pesky Duke boys in the TV show and movie. Ready to run, this beautifully-built car travels forwards, backwards, left and right, and boasts a nifty ‘turbo-boost’ function so you can outrun Enos, Cletus or any other suggestively named deputy sheriff. It even has working headlights so you can run moonshine into Chickasaw County after dark.
