What’s a Mopar meet without a few General Lees in attendance? A crowd-pleaser every year at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals, several General Lee replicas braved the economy; those in attendance were commented on continuously about how close (or far) from originality each were. Two stood out:
This little looked-over 1972 Charger SE edition…
… And this spiffy, lofty version – which always had a crowd surrounding it (and which Strohl’s dad previously spotted in North Carolina). According to its owner, the Charger is a real ‘69 R/T which was bolted to a 1976 Dodge short-bed truck sometime in the Eighties. At the time, it was painted green and was known as “Sasquatch.” The General Lee scheme was added roughly 10 years ago, and the owner stated that he drives it everywhere. In fact, we’d venture to guess that this single General drew more people than Byron Cherry (Coy Duke, for 19 episodes), who was on-hand (along with someone playing a Hazard county cop) to sign autographs.
We can attest to the “driven everywhere” statement, as the owner also had a vendor booth and he used the lofty General to haul his trailer of goods all over the Carlisle compound all weekend long.
