From $10M to $100,000: Bids start anew for John Schneider’s ‘General Lee’

Just when it seems like the Dukes are spinning out, we often forget: Bo knows tenacity.
Mount Kisco native John Schneider, who played Bo Duke on “The Dukes of Hazzard,” isn’t giving up on selling his personal “General Lee,” a 1969 Dodge Charger that was featured on the TV show. Schneider had been seeking $1 million for the car on eBay to fund a sequel to his movie, “Collier & Co.”, but the top bid of just short of $10 million was deemed a hoax.
A few things are different this time around.
For starters, all prospective buyers are being subjected to a screening process before they can register bids on eBay.
In addition, eBay might be preventing nosy folk (including this Suburbarazzo) from checking how high the bids are climbing before bidding ends a week from today; what I do know is the starting bid is $100,000. I’ve read that car experts don’t estimate the vehicle’s actual worth eclipsing $1 million, even with its celebrity tie-ins.
Last, it appears “Collier & Co. 2: Electric Boogaloo” won’t be made as a result of this sale, because “100 percent of the final sale price will support Boone Center for the Family at Pepperdine University,” according to the eBay page. Does Schneider has other funds to produce the sequel? Does he no longer want to produce it? Or does Bo Duke have yet another trick up his cut-off sleeve?
OK, let’s see how smart our readers are. How much will the final legitimate bid be for the General Lee? I predict $2.2 million. Place your non-monetary bets!
