The General Lee is muscle car driven in the 'Dukes of Hazzard' television show. In this show, cousins Luke and Bo drove a 1969 Dodge Charger. The car was orange with a black '01' on the side. It also had a 54-inch wide Confederate flag on the roof.

The General Lee used for scenes in which Luke and Bo were really inside the car featured a souped-up Dodge Charger with a 440-cubic-inch, Magnum V8 engine. The car boasted a racing carburetor and custom wheels. It also featured a noise-making glasspacked muffler and heavy-duty suspension parts. Furthermore, there was a padded roll bar in the driver's compartment and a custom push bar on the front end of the car. A different car was used for stunts. The stunt car featured a variety of modifications to offer a higher level of performance and increased safety.

There were more than 300 cars used in the Dukes of Hazzard. A large number of them were wrecked, with only about twenty left intact. Often, people claim to have genuine General Lees in the hopes of selling cars that are anything but authentic. It is wise to investigate such claims very carefully before making a purchase.

Often, enthusiasts search for pictures and information about the General Lee in the hopes of replicating the car. Others purchase Dukes of Hazzard games to get the chance to 'drive' the General Lee.
