Buyer Backs Out Of $10 M Bid For General Lee
May 9, 2007 03:09 PM Dukes of Hazzard fans upset that the most famous car in the world was up for sale can rest at ease - the General Lee is still owned by Bo Duke. John Schneider, the actor who played Bo Duke, put up his own 1969 orange Dodge Charger up for sale on eBay. Schneider had owned the vehicle since before the TV series began in 1979. The "General" was made famous by Bo and Luke Duke's several high-speed escapes from Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane. Now it seems an eBay buyer has pulled a fast one on Schneider. The Ventura County Star reported that William Fisher of Laguna Hills, Calif., made the winning bid of $9,900,500 for the General Lee. Fisher has reportedly failed to make a deposit for the car. The paper reported that Schneider's estate manager said the actor would pursue legal action against Fisher. Schneider had already left negative feedback for Fisher on his eBay account. "This is the guy that for fun, decided to bid on the General Lee. Thanks....," it reads. Prospective buyers had to register through eBay before placing bids so the online auction could verify the winner's ability to pay. Fisher's bid was only $100 more than the second-highest bid, according to the VenturaCountyStar.com. Schneider was selling the General Lee to finance an upcoming film. For now, the famous car sits in the garage of its longtime owner. Fisher's bid was only $100 more than the second-highest bid, according to the VenturaCountyStar.com.
