I saw this car up close before the jump & I can honestly say that it wasn't even in daily driver condition. It was skinned with panels that had most of the folds beat out of them. There were waves going the length of the car & hammer dents all over it. The suspension was designed to take the jump & it wasn't this car's first jump. Yes it took a beating but it wasn't the first time & probably not the last. For those of us that were there it was beyond worth it!
Have we not lost enough of these beautiful cars when this show was produced? And then even the movie....Do we STILL need to destroy more with this stupidity? I can't remember the last time i have even seen a 1969 Dodge Charger...it just amazes me this moronic bullshit continues.
***** The show took place in the 1970's when these cars were less than 10 years old. Now they are approaching 50, and we have lost more due to Hollywood's take for a movie and dumbasses still wanting to jump them, or being destroyed like other classic cars in the bone yards. I just don't get it at all.
that's right. the ending brought a tear to my eye man people are sooo stupid and then some ''woohoo''. they might as well be fascists. They are not only muscle car killers but charger killers. r.i.p. charger you died for no reason. a very very sad sight to see. r.i.p. charger
+Shawn M The good thing is they stopped doing these shows in 2013 or so. I agree..i loved the show as a kid but to keep destroying these cars is absolutely moronic. They destroyed enough during the show. there is just no excuse for this NONE. THIS is why its getting harder and harder and more expensive for me to get a Charger..these hillbillies keep on wrecking them.
If you watch Ray's other jumps, they went fine with the exception of one nasty roll. However, even that one he came out smelling like a rose due to proper roll cage construction and proper safety features installed. He's been passed the torch by the original Dukes stuntmen, which by the way suffered multiple injuries, and he's top in the business right now for jumping cars.
Man, it sure doesn’t look like any of the Crown Vic Chargers I’ve seen. It’s leaf springs and has the factory Dodge steering wheels angle and not a Crown Vic wheel or dash. It has a real vent window which the Crown Vic clones usually only roughly imitate. We get a good look at the driver’s front frame rail on the turn around after the failed pass….. sure looks like Mopar B body torsion bar stuff to me. The car is all kinds of jacked up and used and fixed a bunch, but looks like a Charger.
@@LiterallyCensoredDaily After reading several of these comments, it looks like this particular group doing the stunts out of Ohio uses Chargers, bud try to get a lot of service out of them. The Crown Vic stuff is plenty good for these things and only look phony if you’re standing right up on them. Cooter’s Place in Virginia has a Crown Vic General Lee out front. First one I had ever seen. Was interesting…. The rear end is way wider and there are seams at the A pillar and bottom of the rockers. The underside is really different, but that’s rarely seen. They are a great solution for stunts.
I've just bought my General Lee project charger bout two months ago and yes it was a hull.very rusty but that's what i do fix rust and dents and paint... Have i found most all the parts? Yep luckily i have found more than i actually need...hopefully I'll be all done by Christmas 2015...
Personally I'm a huge ford guy. But watching these people cheer when they saw a 1969 charger get ruined for a few seconds of amusement. And you people saying "it was too old and ruined to be restored" that's just plain bullshit. I've seen cars in way worse condition than this ever was fully restored. And as for the cop car that the fucking blind driver slammed into, it was in absolutely perfect condition, and the fact that it was even involved in this brainless hillbilly fest sickens me.
There was no traction on the sandy dirt surface. Also these cars are bondo buckets. Only made to get to the ramp. Of course they could be saved but that requires alot of $
TribalRacing30 brother your a very smart person. Everything you just said is true. They don't even know me.or the situation but they justify calling me names and wanting to kick my ass. Truth is I offers 3 cut up chargers that are jump quality years ago because a man from Florida wanted to save them from being jumped. Needless to say he came all the way from Florida To Ohio and left with an empty Trailor and apologized for not understanding what these cars really are.
Holy crap that charger had an R/T emblem on the rear body panel! I love the Dukes of Hazzard, but if I wanna see the General jump I'll just watch reruns on the my DVDs!
J Coltrane no, this is a Northeast Ohio Dukes show/jump. They use rotted out non-restorable Chargers. The front grill is homemade as well, printed and bent sheet metal. They tend to get 2-3 jumps per car.
Even if the chargers are rusted out peices of junk, it's still a running driving charger that you can have some fun with. After it's been jumped it's wrecked and useless.
This is not a Crown Victoria base. This car is still unibody and has rear leaf springs. This still doesn't mean it didn't start life as something else but certainly not a Crown Victoria.
"ROSCOE, YOU BUMBLING FOOL, YOU PARK IN THE WAY OF THAT ORANGE CLUNKER CAR THE GENERAL LEE AND DESTROYED ANOTHER PO-LICE CAR!" "That's coming out of your paycheck!"
People need to calm down, that was a stunt Charger, which means it's mostly fiberglass and sheetmetal mocked up to look like a real charger on a a truck frame. Stunt cars are normally used in these shows.
I can agree with others opinions about wrecking an antique muscle car, but to those of us who grew up watching the dukes every Friday night on CBS during the late seventies and early eighties, we seem to have a love affair to see our childhood dream in flying motion right b4 our eyes. I seen 2 of these chargers fly at Dukesfest 2004 and 2005 in bristol Virginia at the NASCAR speedway, and I even rode in one on the track. It was one of the greatest experiences I've EVER had, and will I ever see my childhood dream come to life again? Highly doubtful. Sure, I'm a Mopar fan for many years now, and like many, my stomach churns at the sight of these wonderful cars being destroyed, but the fact is, there are teams of folks who can take these cars, strip them down, and build em back from scratch from the chassis on up. Chances are, this very general in the video has been wrecked before or will go back to be wrecked again. They wrecked 2 generals, 2 dodge Monaco cruisers, and 2 bad guy cars at bristol in 04 and 05, and all six of those cars were auctioned off to help support childrens miracle network which john Schneider remains a big supporter of throughout all these years. Otherwise, I'm sure some pretty crafty hands could make some magic happen with refitting these cars for another jump. They dont have to b back to 100% original condition as they're solely used for stunt driven performances. In addition, much of the parts on these cars are aftermarket. Look in a Mopar magazine. U can practically build a charger from the ground up. I'm not sure if a chassis can b purchased or not, but most parts can b ordered straight from the distributor.
i was at cooters last stand event this year, and the general lee jump car was a ford crown vic fitted with reproduction charger panels, looked like the real thing,
For the record everyone, my good friend Raymond Kohn jumped this General Lee and said that the reason he lost control at this jump was due to hitting the sand as he went around the ramp. The car has no power steering and it makes it difficult to control when driving in sand. Just a freak accident and he did a very good job regardless. He and his team use the unrestorable cars with no VINs or titles for these jumps so please stop accusing them of destroying Chargers when they are already too far gone. There is a reason there are parts cars which are what these jumps use. They never use good cars or ones that have the potential to be restored. Way to go Northeast Ohio Dukes and Raymond Kohn for keeping the Dukes of Hazzard and classic car stunts alive!
@@CycolacFan Unfortunately it was not supposed to be hit. However that car was not in great shape up close anyway and ended up in a junkyard. My friend felt very bad about the crash, but he wasn't blamed for the mishap.
People have to realise that it is because of the popularity of the TV show that there are so many chargers still in existence today. Instead of looking at the few that are wrecked, look at the thousands that have been saved and are now cherished , thousands of GL replicas all over the world. Because of this there has also been a whole industry set up to supply spares and pattern parts to ensure these cars will live on for decades. How many old chargers would have rusted away beyond repair were it not for the cult status of the GL . Thats the reason you cant buy a charger now, not because they are all wrecked but because they have all been restored and rescued. .
all these people complaining about wrecking a Charger, 1:32 look again that's a custom chassis and that quarter panel looks like fiber glass to me, unless metal is white so that's not a real Charger, but apparently a good enough replica to make you all cry about it. the Charger they jumped at Cooter's Last Stand 2017 was a modified Crown Vic with custom body panels
i was sitting right there watching that too haha..but they worked so hard to fix the car..i[m impressed they fixed it on the spot and ..they didn't let us down..but sure showed the reality of what the jumps do the cars..
my brain dn't workf that fast ! ,, that would be good ! but , i have to check yet , i may have their comments on video ?? it isgoing to take me a couple weeks to get the dvd together, i still need to get a couple permissions and would like to get copies of this and one other vid to add with mine to round it out to tell a better story,,, :)
In the description, he says "But the General Lee finally makes the jump!" As if making an already damaged car do a jump, wrecking it further, would redeem you from crashing it in the first place, the whole festival is a waste.
I've posted this before and I need to post it again. Ive always loved the 69 charger ever since I was very young. If you think it's wrong to jump a 69 Charger, then you don't understand why the Charger was a legend. 100s were destroyed in the making tons of great movies (and games) because it looks so fucking good but also doesn't require being babied because of its price tag like most sought after cars today. The charger demands to be thrashed like a good car should be. Not shined up and put in a garage. Keep using it. Because their supply is not limited. So many movies and stunt men use it that there are companies that reproduce them part by part. It's not just a collector car, it's a legendary platform (which can be blueprinted, reproduced, and driven daily). It's special because it is the beauty and the beater. Edited grammar
Yes and no. The '69 Charger had early unibody construction and K subframe. The Ford Crown Vic's unibody was built much sturdier because they were used as cop cars for 200,000 miles, or five years. And then as taxi cabs for another 300,000 miles. And they STILL survived. So they are cut down to the wheel wells and rocker panels to become new chassis for multiplied- wrecked Chargers. The new Charger Victorias survive jumps much better than they used to as bone stock wrecks.
No, this is why it's getting hard to find rusty, rotted out Chargers. That, and that they were crushed in the tens of thousands in the 1970s and 1980s.
Ballista Bomber Look, Either way the car is still worth a lot even if it was a rusted piece of shit, go on craiglist or ebay, you will find chargers with nothing in them, just a rolling body and they still go for $3000 (U.S.) a rusty piece of shit charger that has everything in it still (including engine and trans) doesnt even run can cost upwards of 10 grand or more. these guys need to stop wrecking chargers.
No but you made it apparent you were not against it by saying "they are rusty and made to look restored" making it seem like they should just wreck them either way.
Als Whole-- the name of this event was NOT dukesfest! it was "hazzard comes to galax, va".. "dukesfest" has not been used in the name of an event since 2008.. due to that, in 2011 Mr Ben Jones aka Cooter and his wife started the whole thing all over and it is now called "hazzard homecoming".. so you need to pay attention to the names of events.. this was NOT a stupid event nor a waste of time. you are not a true dukes fan to feel that way
I'm a charger. Charging through the night. Like an orange bolt of lightning, passing every ramp in sight. My bumpers the best pale the Duke boys ever had, I'll take off through the fenders and say ouch ouch ouch.
words of caution-- for those who have photos and videos from events, be careful who you send them to & what you post on this site.. it is sad to say that there are some within the dukes hobby collect/download these, make prints of YOUR photos, and make dvd's/videos using YOUR videos, and SELL them to make money off them. and what does the person who made the video or photo get?? NOT A DIME ! it happens A LOT ! that is why we have never put videos/photos on the net for public access
if the dukes of Hazzard was never made, these chargers will probably be dime a dozen. now because of that show these chargers are over 30 grand that are a total rust bucket. a full grill for one of those is around 2500 bucks. like really?
To all you little girls crying over them destroying a General Lee... you obviously haven't watched the Dukes of Hazard. IT WAS THE POINT OF THE SHOW TO DESTROY A DODGE CHARGER like come on people if you don't get excited to see a General Lee soaring through the air to hit the ground with 2 G's you obviously aren't a true Dukes of Hazard fan. Besides, the wrecked charger goes to a place or maybe even a father and dad for them to restore. So, wipe up those tears, pull up your big boy pants, and enjoy the carnage.
I have been to the real Dukefest stunt shows and who is this guy from Ohio who thinks if he crashes enough replica cars that he will be part of the Dukes Of Hazzard Legacy. My husband agrees that he should obviously leave the real stunts to the real stunt men. SERIOUSLY: What imagine do the kids take home if he manages to kill himself in the orange charger supposedly made of bondo and pizza boxes. We did get a chuckle out of the fat guy swinging that hammer... good to see he has an expert team.
Wow didn't expect to see this while scrolling through RUclips I live here in the VERY! Small city of Galax I'm just surprised because I've never looked anything up about my city and damn sure not the dukes of hazard haha just weirdly random I suppose lol

Were they deliberately trying to kill that Polara, which is now probably much rarer than a Charger. Looked like they tried to land on it too.

Yes and no. The '69 Charger had early unibody construction and K subframe. The Ford Crown Vic's unibody was built much sturdier because they were used as cop cars for 200,000 miles, or five years. And then as taxi cabs for another 300,000 miles. And they STILL survived. So they are cut down to the wheel wells and rocker panels to become new chassis for multiplied- wrecked Chargers. The new Charger Victorias survive jumps much better than they used to as bone stock wrecks.
Well... I guess this is why its getting so hard to find a nice 69 charger
You'd be wrong. The cars they start with are rusted out parts cars that were left for dead.
No, this is why it's getting hard to find rusty, rotted out Chargers. That, and that they were crushed in the tens of thousands in the 1970s and 1980s.
These are replicas look at the axles and the fiber fenders
i hate to see it but i know that that charger has over 200000 miles on it and is probly rusty af underneath
no, if it was rusty the quarter panels would be fucked, the car looks like it was semi restored by the sheet metal alone.
+thelasthallow they just make them look restored,
Ballista Bomber Look, Either way the car is still worth a lot even if it was a rusted piece of shit, go on craiglist or ebay, you will find chargers with nothing in them, just a rolling body and they still go for $3000 (U.S.) a rusty piece of shit charger that has everything in it still (including engine and trans) doesnt even run can cost upwards of 10 grand or more.
these guys need to stop wrecking chargers.
thelasthallow Did i say they should still wreck them, RIP many chargers
No but you made it apparent you were not against it by saying "they are rusty and made to look restored" making it seem like they should just wreck them either way.
why you watching it then?
thanks,lol , both cars came from the 'yard',,lol (the ones that put on the show !)
Can't understand the joy of fucking up a car.😒
Als Whole-- the name of this event was NOT dukesfest! it was "hazzard comes to galax, va".. "dukesfest" has not been used in the name of an event since 2008.. due to that, in 2011 Mr Ben Jones aka Cooter and his wife started the whole thing all over and it is now called "hazzard homecoming".. so you need to pay attention to the names of events.. this was NOT a stupid event nor a waste of time. you are not a true dukes fan to feel that way
Dude must have been drunk out of his mind to miss the god damn ramp!!
Just poor road conditions led to bad traction.
I'm a charger.
Charging through the night.
Like an orange bolt of lightning, passing every ramp in sight.
My bumpers the best pale the Duke boys ever had, I'll take off through the fenders and say ouch ouch ouch.
Crazy drunk driver. "Back To The Future"
Yall should have said.. Hey Rosco.. Watch This!!.. then everyone would have understood. Lol
People there are barely any original 69 chargers left stop ruining new/old ones
Umm... need I say more?
He dun "scuffed his vehicle"..... poor General😂 Anyway glad all ended up well.😃🤜🏻🤛🏻
words of caution-- for those who have photos and videos from events, be careful who you send them to & what you post on this site.. it is sad to say that there are some within the dukes hobby collect/download these, make prints of YOUR photos, and make dvd's/videos using YOUR videos, and SELL them to make money off them. and what does the person who made the video or photo get?? NOT A DIME ! it happens A LOT ! that is why we have never put videos/photos on the net for public access
nooo the general :(
its not a real charger people.. its probably an old pickup frame with charger sheet metal on it
also worst version of patsy cline ive ever heard
What did they get someone who's never driven a car before to do the stunt? Just spin the tires a little bit for the crowd and oh $h!t
Just wrong to destroy these. Disgusting waste of iconic classic
Bruh General Lee be like FTP😂😂
if the dukes of Hazzard was never made, these chargers will probably be dime a dozen. now because of that show these chargers are over 30 grand that are a total rust bucket. a full grill for one of those is around 2500 bucks. like really?
Can't complain, it's what classics were built for!
Noooooooo😥😥😥😥 why with that beutiful cars
I believe they crashed into Rosco's cruiser on purpose. Can chase them if the car is totaled
The General, he flies purdy.
I would love to go to one of these but if they keep wrecking chargers no one will be able to have one
It makes me want to cry watching this car be destroyed

No keep jumping these things , mine is worth 60,000 now few more years ill be asking over 100,000.
To all you little girls crying over them destroying a General Lee... you obviously haven't watched the Dukes of Hazard. IT WAS THE POINT OF THE SHOW TO DESTROY A DODGE CHARGER like come on people if you don't get excited to see a General Lee soaring through the air to hit the ground with 2 G's you obviously aren't a true Dukes of Hazard fan. Besides, the wrecked charger goes to a place or maybe even a father and dad for them to restore. So, wipe up those tears, pull up your big boy pants, and enjoy the carnage.
I have been to the real Dukefest stunt shows and who is this guy from Ohio who thinks if he crashes enough replica cars that he will be part of the Dukes Of Hazzard Legacy. My husband agrees that he should obviously leave the real stunts to the real stunt men. SERIOUSLY: What imagine do the kids take home if he manages to kill himself in the orange charger supposedly made of bondo and pizza boxes. We did get a chuckle out of the fat guy swinging that hammer... good to see he has an expert team.
why they crashed
the surface is a tiny pebble like material, like driving on ice !!
Driver: well shit
I bet the owner of the Polara was pissed.
The general was going to jump over it. He knew the risks
+Maindrian Pace monaco
+Maindrian Pace the 'owner' (sponsor of the show), supplied both cars , out of his JUNK YARD ! :)
They need to stop destroying the chargers.
Average Joe it’s a crown Vic frame with charger body panels
Wow didn't expect to see this while scrolling through RUclips I live here in the VERY! Small city of Galax I'm just surprised because I've never looked anything up about my city and damn sure not the dukes of hazard haha just weirdly random I suppose lol
That thing sits up really high for a charger
if you dont like it why you watching?
everyone needs to chill its not a real charger.
Why don't young producers donate them old wrecked General Lee's to the poor boys LOL
I hate to see them wrecked but I have 4 of them so it just increases the value of mine.
we got a millionaire over here!
Why keep ruining more of a dieing breed
Crown Vic dumbass
maidenrulz73
Not a crown vic dumb ass
I hate seeing this shit. Destroy a Camaro or jizzstang instead of these rare cars.
ConstanceCox how about just don't destroy classics
Seems to me someone should be manufacturing kits to bolt a 69 Charger body onto a newer model frame
