Despite all the commotion this past week, turns out the winning bidder that goes by the name "fishbashr1" has backed out leaving the General Lee's owner, actor John Schneider, who played Bo Duke in the ‘80s TV series with an empty bucket of dreams. Schneider, who uses the name “johnsebiz” on ebay left a negative comment on "fishbashr1’s” profile saying, “This is the guy that for fun, decided to bid on the General Lee. Thanks...”

According to a report from Associated Press, neither Schneider nor "fishbashr1" who was traced done as William Fisher (owner of a small business specializing in sports goods called Thrill Outfitters), were available for comments. Looks like for the time being, “Bo’s” stuck with the General… Via: Autoblog.com , Source: SFGate

Yesterday we reported that 3 ½ hours before the biddings on John Schneider’s (aka Bo Duke) General Lee on ebay ended, that the price had hiked from an ear-buzzing $2,3 million on May 2, to a drop-dead $9,900,001. Well the auction finally closed at whopping $9,900,500! According to a report from CNN, that puts the ’69 Dodge Charger based General Lee just $1.1 million away from the $11 million paid for a 1931 Bugatti Type 41 Royale Sports Coupe sold by the auction house Christie's in 1987, which is the most expensive car ever auctioned up to date. Makes you wonder if one of the General Lee’s fetched in so many millions, what the heck would the original, Ford Lincoln Futura based Batmobile (not the replicas), would sell for if George Barris ever decided to sell it… Link: ebay

We couldn’t believe our eyes either when we saw the current bid for actor John Schneider’s (aka Bo Duke) General Lee on ebay a few minutes ago but it’s true; $9,900,001 and there’s still 3 1/2 hours left before the bid ends! Totally unbelievable -especially when you think that the last time we checked (March 2) the bid was $2,3 million! According to Schneider, this particular ’69 Dodge Charger appeared in the last Dukes of Hazzard movie, "Dukes Go To Hollywood", with Warner Brothers using it as a template to build all the General Lee's featured in the movie. We’ll keep a close eye on ebay and return with the final price. I still can’t believe it; 10 million bucks… -More "multimillion" General Lee pics after the jump

Here at Carscoop we love modified limo's but we find this idea totally stupid and pointless. Sold on ebay in Northern Ireland this Lincoln Towncar has been painted to match the colors of the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard. The Leprechauns in Hazzard, Georgia are tearing at the thought! More pics below.Via: ebay
