He is the charger, That charges through the night Like an orange bolt lightning. He is the best pal the duke boys ever had... I'm happy he is alive again.
I love how this dude loves taking these things completely apart and putting the back together and knows everything from bumper to bumper throughout many years of these mopars, and know every single square inch of every part on these legends. Anyways, this build was worth every penny
The original General Lee was a mish mash of orange paints the company threw together. After many years the original trunk lid was color matched and it was found that the mish mash actually matched a color called TNT Express which is currently used by a shipping company in Europe today.
Yes it's hold stay on it was not against racism it was there just to make the car look good it was nothing against anybody and I want The Dukes Of Ha,and back on please what do we have to do?
Seeing the old crew makes me realize how much I miss them. I feel like the show was better and more fun back then and was the reason I started watching the show yrs ago
General Lee is an iconic, legendary car. It doesn't matter who you are. If you're a man over 50, you watched the show. The "General" and "Daisy Duke's" were a part of growing up. Thank you for not agreeing with the cancel culture. That said. I love the attention to detail on this build, Is just amazing. Thank you so much for the memories.
I'm glad to see another General Lee car. My family has a rather unique relationship with all of the General Lee cars. My mom's cousin's husband welded all the roll cages in the General Lee cars, because he worked for the studio in California that produced the series and shows. His name was A.J. Thrasher, a rather well known special effects coordinator, technician, and welder working for the movie studios for many years.
The most beautiful car ever, hands down!! Nothing like a General Lee to cruise around!! The ‘68 is my dream car, but I’d happily go with a ‘69, ’70 as well!! Amazing restoration, guys. Really, great job!!
Awesome build, and I would like to say, I think it’s great that you hired a welder with no automotive rebuild experience and took the time to discuss the cuts and welds and help him feel comfortable #1 working on cars, #2 working on such an important project, that really shows what kind of a boss and person you are.
Mark your are beyond a doubt one of the for most Mopar guru and Mastermind! I am a Mopar guy and I learn something every time I watch your show!! One day I hope to have you do a build for me before time runs out for both of us.
It's always nice to see a car from a show you watched as a kid come back to life. To bad we don't all have that kind of money to make our favorite childhood vehicles come to life. For me it would be the wraith Interceptor from the movie wraith.
I'm a whole African-American male and I would be super pissed if they took the flag off the top of the car. I grew up in the hood watching The dukes of Hazzard and the general Lee is one of my top five favorite movie and TV cars of all time.
I’m from the Uk and can remember watching the dukes as a 4 year old in 81-82. I was obsessed with the general Lee and even all the cop cars. I had wrist racers and a scale model of the general. It’s the only real thing I can remember being that young.
I always loved the look of the 2005 General Lee. The upgraded interior with that custom steering wheel made this General feel like more like a race car
Wait, I was in a road trip in South Dakota, I stopped at a small town south of Murdo, there was a car museum, there was a general Lee car, well maintain, it was beautiful.
The movie Moonrunners also has a cast member of the Duke of Hazzard, Mr. Ben Jones as Agent Fred. It was Ben's idea to do the Dukes of Hazzard show based on this movie. I'm personal friends with Ben, who just made 80 years old this past week.
Christmas 1981 .. my father built me a custom General Lee go cart.. he painted it orange and painted a rebel flag on the floor pan .. he even put a roll bar on it.. he took a Honda 3 wheeler engine and put on it.. he even put some sheet metal on the front where the steering wheel frame was and painted 01 on it… I would give anything to have that go cart today.. one I lost my father last year and I want anything he put his hands on.. two.. I would love to give it to my son.. we watch dukes of hazard all the time and he loves it.. seeing my 9 year old light up every time they jump a creek or a car or train makes me giggle so loud cause I did the same thing as a child..
Yea I sure do love them old charger since childhood growing up still from now I wish I had one to enjoy and have fun jamming to some old muisc while hearing that engine roaring down the road even do alittle show off but its been 15 years I haven't drove so I am really hoping when its time to drive I drive the car of my dream for many years
the dukes of hazard would be proud of the way this beautiful car turned out when I first saw the show I fell in love with the charger and always wanted to get one and then one day while I was working doin deliveries to a customer he told me he had one and was going to sell it to me but due to finances not looking good I had to decline the buy but I always wished I had bought it love the General lee car
Bonjour je suis français malheureusement je ne comprends rien à l'anglais mais j'adore vos vidéos. Personnellement j'aurais aimé en voir encore un peu plus de vos restauration. 😍 Mon rêve est de roulé en américaine
You guys did an awesome job. General Lee was my child hood loved the Dukes. I'm hoping to work on mine, a 1967 impala saden. I purchased. Many people are laughing at her looks right now but I want to make her beautiful again. She needs alot of tlc. Some turn heads tho.
Great patience from the graveyard crew to complete this project considering all of the chopping and piecing back together. Love the fact they reused a lot of the original car too! My only criticism is nothing breaks my heart more then an out of tune Dixie horn. Fiam makes a spot on tuned set of horns. All in all that’s small potatoes to the great work that they did. I enjoyed the episode greatly
According to John Steiner nobody actually knows the color of the car because one of the stage set they just mixed a whole bunch of colors together. For the original TV show
Love the 1969 general lee at least it wasn't scrapped its a nice car at times I think or wished I owned me a general lee a car like this sure would look good in Douglas ga for the cops to get its attention and have an excuse to stop you and check it out I'd let people here check it out and take pictures of it I know I can't afford a general lee but it sure would be nice to own one with an a.c. and all hope the owners enjoy it for the rest of their lives I like watching the dukes of hazzard it was a great show may God bless
The 1st 15 minutes was a quick reminder of why Josh and Daren are gone. The great thing about this show is that even though Mark has his fun, they actually show the process. So many shows are 40 minutes of drama and 5 minutes of actual build time. For all of Mark's goofy jokes and movie reenactment's, he's also taking the time to pass on his knowledge on Mopar's.
That General Lee looks awesome ! It’s a shame so many chargers died for the show and the two reunion movies and 2095 movie ! Please don’t kil anymorechargers
At the time the Dukes of Hazzard began production in 1978, the producers chose the 1969 Charger because they were cheap and plentiful. Just a 9 year old car, like a 9 year old Chevy Cavalier today. By the end of the show's run they were becoming scarce. Much of the collector interest in the 1969 Charger today is due to the popularity of the show.
These days, peoples like the Dominic Toreto’s FF Charger. But I still prefer the General Lee most. Not fast as the FF Charger, but the General Lee far more cooler, bad ass, rebel, etc. That’s why the General became a legend.
That is one cool guy. I'm sure he is the only guy I would work for. Last boss got his desk thrown ontop of him with all his computers , I pads and I phones lol. I can't work for a boss. But this guy would be awesome to work for.
Graveyard Cars y’all did an excellent job rebuilding one of my most favorite cars in the General Lee, it came out beautifully. On my bucket list is owning a black on black 69 charger with a Hemi and a manual tranny. Great job guys
The only thing I have a concern about your channel is when you open youtube it's says 3hrs ago like it's a new video meanwhile it's an old on you need to put your videos in order from 1 to whatever because I open it thinking it's new and they're 2 months old tell your production dude to get it together other than that I love your channel cheers
I like your guys's TV show and that is a nice car that's one of my favorite cars is a 69 Dodge charger general Lee I can't wait to see it is stored and watch your TV show
Wow that car looks fantastic I’ve always wanted a general lee charger I’ve always wanted a charger especially a 1969 RT charger with the 440 magnum V8 for barrel Carter carburetor those are the coolest cars
I remember being able to buy one of the original 17 general lees left over from the show in early 94 for 16 thousand. I passed like an idiot. Now I'm sure that car would be worth a quarter million
I remember back in the 80's living in the Santa Clarita area (back then it was Newhall, Valencia, Saugus and Canyon Country) where The Dukes Of Hazzard was filmed I would see car carriers loaded with these cars being brought in for the show. Many of them would only have one side of the car painted because that was the side that would be seen in the shot and most didn't even have engines in them as they where towed over the jumps most of the time. It was said that the amount of Chargers that where destroyed filming The Dukes Of Hazzard made them rare and hard to find. I don't know if that's true or not but they did manage to destroy quite a few of them.
Really glad to see the flag is on the right way. I don't know if you knew about the way the stars point (it seems to be practically an unknown detail), or whether it was done the same as the original flag, or whether it was just a lucky guess (most Generals appear as though the decal was randomly put on, possibly not even realizing that all the stars are even all pointing in the same direction on the flag, and it being a 50/50 chance it was the right way). But the stars are meant to point to the drivers side like you have it, not the passenger side. I've seen one Generals flag that had them all pointing inwards and must of either been hand painted (hopefully not) or some oddball decal that he had made or something.
That is a 1969 Dodge charger general Lee I like to dukes of Hazzard car and that's a good show and I like your guys show two I like the car you you are building
I should really hit these guys up to fix up my daily commuter/work car... 1998 mitsubishi mirage DE coupe 😎 I know it's not mopar but still... thing would be sweet! I do have an 02 ram 25000000 though with the big v10 drinker in it tho lol wish couldve had my grandpas 1969 roadrunner restored tho... oh well I guess
He is the charger,
That charges through the night
Like an orange bolt lightning.
He is the best pal the duke boys ever had... I'm happy he is alive again.
Can I just say, Thank you for not going all P.C. and blurring out the rebel flag. I honestly appreciate that.👍👍👍
I could do without all the "humor" and shit. I watch for the amazing cars. Love the FF option to eliminate the nonsense. My 2 cents.
@@hiviz1763, he definitely went too far overboard with the BS factor on this one.
They did in a way. They whited out the red in the flag.
@@jordangraham2942 That's from fading due to the sunlight. Cheap vinyl decals will fade in the sun like that.
Screw that flag. But she needs to be on that car 🥲
I've wanted a General Lee since I was 10 years old! I'm 51 now and I still want one. Hopefully one day. Love that car.
Bo probably wrecked them all or his stuntmen I should say, they went through a bunch of them
@@sabre-ub3op They're rare, but they're still around. There's quite a few of them for sale online. Hopefully one day I will finally own one.
@@thebob01 what are they going for?
@@sabre-ub3op They vary depending on condition.
I dream this general lee also when I was a little kid. The dream come true when I was 42 years old, and I still keep it until…
I love how this dude loves taking these things completely apart and putting the back together and knows everything from bumper to bumper throughout many years of these mopars, and know every single square inch of every part on these legends. Anyways, this build was worth every penny
Yes he knows his stuff... And he is also the kind of guy you want to punch in the face.
Anytime a General Lee is restored an Angel gets their wings!
The original General Lee was a mish mash of orange paints the company threw together. After many years the original trunk lid was color matched and it was found that the mish mash actually matched a color called TNT Express which is currently used by a shipping company in Europe today.
You saw the vinwiki video congrats
Yes it's hold stay on it was not against racism it was there just to make the car look good it was nothing against anybody and I want The Dukes Of Ha,and back on please what do we have to do?
The Dukes Of Hazard back on what do we have to do
TNT is an Australian company thanks
@@bolee8567 Me too!
Seeing the old crew makes me realize how much I miss them. I feel like the show was better and more fun back then and was the reason I started watching the show yrs ago

Thank you for not agreeing with the cancel culture. That said. I love the attention to detail on this build, Is just amazing. Thank you so much for the memories.
Yes the General Lee is Iconic! As a child growing up in the late 80's early 90's. I watched the Duke's every day.
Glad to see Not all the „General Lees“ had to be scrapped after shooting. Really happy you could bring this one back.
If your talking about the TV series roughly twenty survived the show.
I'm glad to see another General Lee car. My family has a rather unique relationship with all of the General Lee cars.

thank the lord that this car is still around
Glad they kept the flag, at least they have some balls.
Surprised pew tube didn’t censor the confederate flag on the top of the gender lee!!! Love the car and loved the dukes from my childhood days.
The very car that got me into classic i always loved the 69 charger especially the general lee
Mark your are beyond a doubt one of the for most Mopar guru and Mastermind! I am a Mopar guy and I learn something every time I watch your show!! One day I hope to have you do a build for me before time runs out for both of us.
It's always nice to see a car from a show you watched as a kid come back to life. To bad we don't all have that kind of money to make our favorite childhood vehicles come to life. For me it would be the wraith Interceptor from the movie wraith.
Bonus points for leaving the confederate flag on there.
If it doesn’t have the flag, it’s not a General Lee.
@@sickstuff7624 exactly
Damn right
Hell yeah
I'm a whole African-American male and I would be super pissed if they took the flag off the top of the car. I grew up in the hood watching The dukes of Hazzard and the general Lee is one of my top five favorite movie and TV cars of all time.

Mark’s shop is one of the top restoration shops I’ve ever seen.
History should NEVER BE SQUELCHED! Well done Mark and team GYC! I have the perfect product for the theme...next time!🤪
Mark and team. Greatest build yet! Awesome ending with Daisy Duke and retro police chase. Very cool!
That was good getting them with the police car the old police car at that. That was good
I’m from the Uk and can remember watching the dukes as a 4 year old in 81-82. I was obsessed with the general Lee and even all the cop cars. I had wrist racers and a scale model of the general. It’s the only real thing I can remember being that young.
I do Stop Motion animations with my General Lee 🎬📸🎞️‼️
Great Daisy Duke impression! Wow! 😍
Great job! Love the detail you guy’s put into it!
I'm african american and I loved the general lee confederate flag and everything.
HAIL GENERAL LEE ! REBEL FLAG, never die. HAIL from 🇮🇹🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤
Im 16, a highschool kid and ive wanted one since middle school. And hopefully one day ill own one and keep the hazzards tradition alive
I always loved the look of the 2005 General Lee. The upgraded interior with that custom steering wheel made this General feel like more like a race car
If he was feeling like Bo Duke then he should have slid through the window.
And slid across the hood
Thank You For Bringing Back The Dead Cars

My nephew was a cunsultant for rebuilding Lee-1. It was stamped.
GREAT JOB TRULY BEAUTIFUL CHARGER ,, MIGHT LIVE IN THE UK BUT I LOVE THESE CARS,
Awesome job! Wooden steering wheel looks classy!

The original color was not a coded color it was a mixed concoction the mechanics threw together.
Not sure why the algorithm recommended this, I like car restoration videos, not reality tv.
Living my dream! Awesome job guys. Life long resedent of springfield. No one can touch there work
According to John Steiner nobody actually knows the color of the car because one of the stage set they just mixed a whole bunch of colors together. For the original TV show

Another great episode!
GREAT JOB RESTORING THE GENERAL LEE.
IT EVEN HAS THE HORN!!🤣🤣😍😍😍
That's so cool but it would hurt to have to give the car to the owner...
Absolutely awesome !!
I like your guys's TV show and that is a nice car that's one of my favorite cars is a 69 Dodge charger general Lee I can't wait to see it is stored and watch your TV show
The most beautiful Car in the world!!!!!
Wow that car looks fantastic I’ve always wanted a general lee charger I’ve always wanted a charger especially a 1969 RT charger with the 440 magnum V8 for barrel Carter carburetor those are the coolest cars
I remember being able to buy one of the original 17 general lees left over from the show in early 94 for 16 thousand. I passed like an idiot. Now I'm sure that car would be worth a quarter million
Wish I still had mine! A 70 General Lee with a 318/2bbl auto.! It was stolen in 1977 and crushed!
I remember back in the 80's living in the Santa Clarita area (back then it was Newhall, Valencia, Saugus and Canyon Country) where The Dukes Of Hazzard was filmed I would see car carriers loaded with these cars being brought in for the show.

I don't know if you knew about the way the stars point (it seems to be practically an unknown detail), or whether it was done the same as the original flag, or whether it was just a lucky guess (most Generals appear as though the decal was randomly put on, possibly not even realizing that all the stars are even all pointing in the same direction on the flag, and it being a 50/50 chance it was the right way).
But the stars are meant to point to the drivers side like you have it, not the passenger side.

Christine and the General Lee are the most recognizable mopars ever
That is a 1969 Dodge charger general Lee I like to dukes of Hazzard car and that's a good show and I like your guys show two I like the car you you are building
Rumor has it that the jump was just over 600 yards.
Mark has some incredible dance moves. Looks like a cat with worms.
A Piece of ART
I LOVE the 1969 Dodge Charger.Its a REAL car.Its a definition of what a car should be like.
Excellent!
With that kind of money to rebuild a car like that, I would’ve sprung for a 426 between the fenders though.
Great episode.
That's a Dream car.
I don't remember the TV series that well, but I do remember the car, and I think the main theme mostly because it's my Poppa's ringtone =b
I should really hit these guys up to fix up my daily commuter/work car... 1998 mitsubishi mirage DE coupe 😎 I know it's not mopar but still... thing would be sweet! I do have an 02 ram 25000000 though with the big v10 drinker in it tho lol wish couldve had my grandpas 1969 roadrunner restored tho... oh well I guess
Absolutely epic 😎 👌
40:51 the moment you were waiting for
Great video with him doing Roscoe... I wish you could have done his laugh...
"Kookkookkook...
I finally got them Duke Boys..."
If there was half as much car build as there is drama and constructed storyline in this, it'd be great!
God Bless Dixie! Love that Flag!!!
