the cars they jump are just decent, passable paint jobs over a lot of rust and Bondo. There's no reason to get all concerned about destroying Chargers when they do this. When they run out of rust buckets to do it, they'll start doing it with molded bodies like they use for monster trucks.
I remember seeing this in person that day, but i agree, they should have used a ramp to ramp jump. That would've saved that Charger. I remember the sound when it hit the pavement on that race track....it really "ate" the pavement!
Every remaining 69 Charger just became a little more valuable. Stupid ass people destroying a piece of rolling art. Why wreck a beautiful and rare car?
I totally agree the car and show is great!!!!! The Knight Rider comment was a joke. I just didn't think DoH is part of american history like someone stated . @ 7StarsFromTheMoOn The cars used were junk to begin with. The real dummies are the ones that let these great cars rot. Not the ones who gave them a new paintjob and one more yeehaw of a jump!!!!!
Ok everybody, calm down. Do a search on youtube for General Lee jump car build. They build these things out of too-far-gone junkyard cars. They make the outside look decent from a distance but that's it. Otherwise they're totally rotted out. They're not wrecking restored Chargers.
Sad thing is, This shows how unappreciative some people in this nation have become. They fail to realize this car is 40+ years out of production. Many replacement parts for it are still unavailable in the after market. So the claim that it can just be restored has no merit. To fix a car that didn't need to be in the first place, and consume rare and extremely hard to find parts hurts both collectors and owners alike. Some of us take far too much for granted.
listen. they make reproduction parts. the people that do this have the money to repair it. idk, but im not brave enough for that. YEAH GENERAL LEE!!!!
so this is where stolen chargers go and any other charger this is the stupidest waste of such a great piece of history you dumb rednecks need a better hobby thumbs me up if you agree
I grew up watching the D O H and looking back they gave young kids something to enjoy on Friday nights. They also instilled morals of kindness and helped people come together.
It's not too surprising to see what kind of sick freaks are out there, getting jollies by destruction of rare and popular machines. These assholes feel threatened by the old cars being more important than they are to the world, so they try to destroy them. Next, they'll go home and kill kittens...
Why Peopole Kill The Mopars and Fords american Muscle is meant to enjoy of NOT to jump 100m with them and kill them or even leave them to rust in a old garage
There not kit cars, there new shells, Year one makes Camaros, I'm not sure who makes Chargers. What they are, is a empty un-painted shell. Its a replacement body, on a Charger, or modified frame.
@redneckmechanic94 In all the ways that you are wrong, it baffles me. No one makes Chargers shells. And even if they did, Chargers don't have frames, they are uni-bodies.
I know, seriously. They weren't in much better shape before being jumped. These people oughta get a look at how the cars looked before the jump. These actually saved these cars. They are 69 Chargers sitting in junkyards that these people find to do this with before restoration, if these people really cared they'd quit whining about it and get off their butts and go find them before they do. Apparently they're out there! I don't see their issue.
@chevelleSS396lover to please a bunch of ignorant hicks with only one claim to fame and their fixin to drag it out as long as possible,but i got a solution.Let's nuke Hazzard County and put these degenerates out of their misery.
Im a big fan of the dukes of hazzard, and the general lee. There is one thing I dont understand, The General lee Is one of the most famous car in the WORLD, just a beautiful machine, and they continue to destroy them for a festival. Why? I see these videos and my heart breaks when I see another one die...
they aren't what you think they are. they are 68-70 chargers pulled from junkyards, with '69 bumpers and grilles, and stuck with a clunker engine that'll last long enough to get one jump out of it.
@grasscat1977 approximately 232, 770 Dodge Chargers were built between 1968 and 1970. where'd they go? 'casuse i was pretty sure road worthy chargers were kinda hard to come by.
@TARDISvision well i'd guess about half of em at least have been crushed and are gone forever.how many more were destroyed by hollywood?i don't know for sure but i say it's too damn many.
They should pile up a bunch of boxes or something on the track to help cushion the car when it lands...They should make more of an effort to protect these cars.
@68bobba Yeah..because it is a car...a scrap of metal. No doubt it is beautiful, but we aren't losing anything by doing this. It is helping the economy actually when people pay to see this.
@68bobba Who cares it is a car. Most of them are replicas, and when they get destroyed they will make more, it is just a car. Go fuck it if you love it that much.
@supu6 fuck you you retarded bitch. They don't make '69 Chargers any more, when each one killed, is gone forever. People like you make me support Abortion.
@supu6 is that all you can come up with??? youre a pathetic ricer loving bitch who deserves to be shot and you are solely the symbol of whats wrong with most kids today..."who cares if its wrecked...theyll just make another one..." youre so goddamn retarded that it is incomprehensible.
@faded2blak I don't care about any car being destroyed, it's just that the nicer, more beautiful, more classic, the better it is when it gets wrecked. I'M SUCH A MONSTER!
Most of the chargers jumped at dukes fest are rebuilt from previous jumps that virtually destroyed the cars. They are put back together for a single run just to go to a scrap pile.
Yeah i can agree to what ur saying, im saying just because ur Charger is orange and it has a big block thta u should make it a GL, itd be more respected and worth more if it was restored.
I love the Dukes Of Hazard but come on im sick of seeing people ruin good Chargers by painting them and then puting 01 on the side. Keep ur 1969 original, one General Lee is enough.
Took the damn words right out of my mouth! Original is always better! Way too many General Lees out there. I own 15 Dodge Chargers myself. Take care, DC1969
You are a very luck person to own 15 Chargers, ive got to say that you are one of the luckiest people ive ever talked to, im sure they get noticed all the time. If i had the money id make an offer but dont at the time, congrats man.
Yes, I have 15 of them. They can be bought pretty reasonable if you find the right one. You will find one, your still very young. Take care, DC1969............
The Chargers they wreck at these shows are the worst piles of crap you can imagine up close.
Patched-up floors & framerails & body panels, transplanted drivetrains, gallons of body filler, aluminum foil tape, pop rivets, zip ties, spray paint, etc.
They put a ton of effort into top-notch safety gear inside the car but every other inch of it is trash.
awesome jump. im a mopar man and i feel sick just watching them do that to a very rare 1969 Dodge Charger r/t...... too bad the TV show wrecked over 400 Charger R/T's....
who says thay were all R/T's, first of all the R/T's are rare so im pretty shure thay wont be jumpimg them and also would drive up the cose of getting the cars for the show,some were 68 converted to 69 and same with the 70's, second, ben jones said himself thay wrecked close to 350-375 max chargers,
they had rows of chargers in like the special futures and stuff on the movie they used alot of cars not 2 they got like 70 chargers to and just changed the grill and when they fucked up on a seen they just swithced cars all the time
the cars they jump are just decent, passable paint jobs over a lot of rust and Bondo. There's no reason to get all concerned about destroying Chargers when they do this. When they run out of rust buckets to do it, they'll start doing it with molded bodies like they use for monster trucks.
