The guy's a class A dipschit, but that's not the only General Lee out there. They used a bunch of 69 dodge chargers over the course of the show, I read once they usually totaled one an episode with all the stunt work. He's just got one of them, there are still a bunch of other authentic ones running around.
His car , his money , his choice. That being said , I would rather see him sell it than change it. If he does change the paint , I hope he changes the name of the car as well. The General William T. Sherman sounds like a good name
About 30+ years ago there was a car in NH that was painted American flag blue with a big 10 (instead of the 01) on the side and an American flag on the roof, instead of the Confederate flag. The car had General Grant instead of General Lee above the doors. Sorry, I don't remember what brand car, as I was only probably 10. Now I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of it........
We have one of them here in Medford. Guy has it on a berm in his front yard tilted over to show the flag on top. Looks like it's coming in for a landing. Wonder if he knows it's worth $100K?!!

There were quite a few General Lees, many were trashed filming jumps. It is my understanding that they were painted over then sold and some have been found when the paint over started peeling. IIRC there were only a couple that were tricked out as the main drivers for the Duke boys.
