Sonny Shroyer also played in Smokey and the bandit, he was one of the motorcycle police officers who pulled over Jerry Reed doing 90 on the interstate when Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields pulled up and Sally Fields flipped him the middle finger.
Haha, that's right!
You know I'm in a wheelchair I wasn't born when the dukes of hazard was on TV I was born in 82 so I was born a couple of years after the end of the show I'm a huge fan of The dukes of Hazzard my dream car is a 1969 Dodge charger 440 Magnum with 375 horsepower at the rear wheels done up like the general Lee I wish I could have had the chance to own the general Lee if I ever get the chance to go to Gatlinburg Tennessee to cooter's place I'm definitely going to go and I'm definitely going to spend some money and buy some dukes of Hazzard merchandise it's one of my favorite shows I own every single season I would just love once to ride in the general Lee thank you Mr Ben Jones for putting this museum together and if you're there when I go I would love to shake your hand cuz this show The dukes of Hazzard was just down home country fun and I thank you from the bottom of my duke heart and I very much playing to spend some money and most of all getting my picture taken inside my dream car 1969 general Lee Dodge charger
Cooter's is definitely a cool place. Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch the video.
I LOVE THE DUKES OF HAZZARD
Who doesn't?
Agreed, We all do!!!
I hear ya!
Those were not Jello molds, they special McDonald's happy meal boxes, the box is the toy, it came with a sheet of stickers for the decals to put on the car.
The pretty cool either way. Thanks for watching the vid and commenting!
1971 Plymouth Satellite? In the first season it shows Roadrunner decals on Daisy car.
I was probably having a low blood sugar moment when I rambled some kind of gibberish out. I did have the old school satellite in high school or as I call it, the poor man's Challenger.
Awesome collection of memorabilia from the Dukes of Hazzard👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Definitely! Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch the video.
Love this show!! Since it's off TV now, I went out an found most of the seasons!!! Great show an great video too! Good job!!! 👍👍
You can always find Duke stuff on the Cooter's website and if you're in the big box stores, Walmart sells the complete dvd series of Dukes.
He also had a museum just outside of Sperryville, Virginia off of Hwy 522. Went to the place numerous times.
I like to check the other ones out. I've only been to the one in Gatlinburg and the one in Pigeon Forge which are the same. It moved from Gatlinburg up to Pigeon Forge.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog it's closed now, the new museum is located in Luray, VA now. Just south of Sperryville
I was on a Navy base in Long Beach years ago when I was a kid. I saw a General Lee there and I was awestruck or star struck. One day I'll have one too rollin' on the 405fwy in California. Lol!
Yes!!
So glad the good ol' boys are still shown on television in my country! Whenever times get tough I can just escape to hazzard county for a while!
Soon as all this settles down, I may just have to come check that museum out!
That's cool that they still have them on in your country. They moved the museum from Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge by the way.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog thanks!
Those things you think are Jell-O molds are actually thin plastic tins that McDonalds sold Happy Meals in as a promotion.
+John Wilburn Sweet, thanks for the heads up!
They are McMeatloaf Molds, then. Yummy.
Yes, I remember that. They had a cardboard bottom and inside was your hamburger and fries. Totally took me back.
I remember a plastic bottom, that's how it snapped together. Also you had to place the stickers on yourself.
1982. Boy I thought those were so cool back then. I was never able to get one though. : (
Thanks for sharing
The picture with the two General Lee cars might have been taken during the Dukes Reunion Maby CBS Stuido Lot where the show was filmed in the 80s
Sweet ... thanks!
That store would make me poorer than I already am, and I live way too close to it!
Ya gotta check it out!
It seems like there is alot to do in Gatlinburg. Is there a tourist guide I can get?
@@paulmcgo1089 Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are both tourist meccas with a tongue of kitschy goodness! I'm not sure if there's a guide but if you look them up online or TH-cam you'll find a ton of stuff to do.
Them good 'ol Duke boys! 😀👍btw Smoky and the Bandit is another great classic movie!
Smokie and the Bandit is great, love it. Jerry Reid was one of my favorite pickers along with Chet Atkins.
Ben Jones and Sonny Schroyer were both on Smokey and the Bandit
Things you called jello molds are happy meal boxes. You ordered a kids meal and it came in the Dukes style car box and a matching drink cup. Each week for a month you got a different one. General being last offered, of course!!
Thanks for sharing. I wish I would have got a hold of those things as a kid and kept them.
BRING THE TV SHOW BACK. THE DUKES OF HAZZARD IS A GREAT SHOW
The best
I'm with you!
ive been there its awesome place to see and visit i like it dukes of hazzard was my favorite tv show when i was a kid still love it now i have all 7 seasons on DVD
It's a timeless classic and the 69 Charger RT is just a sexy beast!
It's a timeless classic and the 69 Charger RT is just a sexy beast!
I love this video. I still watch the Duke boys all the time. One of the best classic tv shows of all time. Would love to see that place but I live all the way up in Canada.
Thanks, Cooter's Gatlinberg is such a great place and the staff are great people.
That General lee is beautiful, huge fan of the show growing up in England 🫶
It certainly is!
It was awesome because I was in that very place and the guy who ran the go karts gave 1 free turn (which we had already had about 2 that were paid for) and he gave us all free pictures in the General Lee which was a awesome and very kind of him to do that guy was awesome!
+I AM WELDKAT The folks there a great. I love visiting Cooter's whenever I'm in the area.
Went in 2015, awesome place.
No doubt, so much vintage Duke's stuff!
Thank you so much for making us dukes fans a nice wonderful video. We appreciate it alot to.
Me and my family and boyfriend sure do love the dukes of hazzard alot.
Thanks for watching!
Where was the junkyards in the show
You're going to have to dial that one in cuz I'm not sure what you're talking about with junk yards.
The junkyards that where seen in the show where were they
Esspcially the one in Daisy's song
No idea.
When ever they went thru a junkyard it excited me
Hi, WOW it's really an awesome museum.
I live in France, very far of your country but I grew up with Dukes Of Hazzard and I dream to see this incredible museum, maybe one day...
I would like to thank you for this sharing, your video is awesome.
God bless you +1
Thank you so much and thanks for watching.
I am going there next vacation!
+Todd Stepp I definitely recommend checking that place out.
how was it?!!!??!!!???
Been to Gatlinburg strip several times, but never thought to stop there. :( (I should have.)
Wow. This was the first show I watched as a kid. Awesome. I need to visit this area!
They recently moved Cooter's from Gatlinburg to their new location in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.
Aimless Adventures thanks for the update. 👍🏻
@@NickP You got it.
We recently passed near by on a roadtrip but to my eternal sadness we didn't have enough time to detour over there. Thanks for doing a video tour of what it's like!
Absolutely, but you gotta check it out in person to feel the vibe.
Those ones you said you had never seen before were Dukes of Hazzard happy meals from McDonald's. The meal cam in a plastic car instead of the regular box.
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
7:56 I finally found the "Daisy's Jeep" toy that lived in our sandbox as a kid.
Nice ... congrats!
My wife's grandpa was the owner of the property that Dukes of hazard filmed on. My son and I gotta picture setting in the General Lee with Ben Jones standing next to the car.
That's pretty sweet!
Fun place to visit. This one is closed now, and re-opened in Pigeon Forge, but I don't think they have the go-kart racing at the new one. The one in Nashville is great, also.
Yeah, no go-karts at the new Pigeon Forge location but from a business point, P.F. should be a better location. Paid parking was a drawback for some folks and parking in Gatlinburg is at a premium.
thank God we Oxford county like dukes of Hazzard there stuff is in Detroit what they used on the show god bless James best
Thanks for watching.
I had a 1972 Plymouth Satelite Sebring. 318 with Auto and Red with black interior. The only car from my youth I wish I still had.
I hear ya! I drove some turds but I wish I still had my Satellite.
so much to see and do at Cooters it is a awesome place i love it there amazing place Gatlinburg TN
No doubt!
The boars nest is now a church, it's on the DVD collection special features
Thanks for sharing. My next time up that way I'll have to shoot some then and now footage.
I've got pics of my friends and I in that car. We sold a vehicle to the movie company when they were filming in Baton Rouge and they let us look at all the cars.
Very cool! Thanks for watching.
I have sat inside that exact same general lee in gatlinburg
+Jacob High I love Gatlinburg.
Jacob High I sat in the Nashville number 1 original one
AimlessAdventures so do i
Jacob High me to
Same, I got a picture in it.
Oh my God there's a museum!!!! Definitely gotta visit
It moved from Gatlinburg and is now located in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.
10:07 I love your "whip-lash" diagonal-downwards pan to the car; clever cool sound-effect, too :)
Thanks ... I pretty much wing it.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog Ummmmmm....?? Not sure I understand what you mean... perhaps you left out a word or two there? ;)
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog Ohhhhh... okay. Thanks. Well, you know, you can go back and click the vertical line of dots to the right of your first comment, select "edit", and then correct your comment by adding the word "wing". Then if you want, you can also select "delete" for these latter three "back-and-forth" messages, so that it can just be my initial praising comment and your reply that's left. :)
@@Quacks0 It's all good. The more thumbs ups, thumbs down and comments on vids help the analytics.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog Ohhhhhhhh okay :)
I miss going to that place That was my child hood
Me to miss good old day
They moved it to Pigeon Forge. Less of an issue with parking.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog I know, I went there about three weeks ago actually.
I've been there before, great to see it again I still have my autographs and picture of James Best.He personally signed it.Great video sir.
I would have loved to have met Jimmy. You have a nice piece of Duke's royalty.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog yes sir,he was super nice,my favorite show growing up.
I love the general Lee! Especially when I was a kid
It's a classic!
Interesting place. Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised they listed Uncle Jesse's house as being in Covington, GA though. It's a mile from my house, at 2201 Lenora Rd., in unincorporated Loganville, GA.
Yeah, I was wondering that myself.
Good to watch very interesting 👍
Thanks for watching.
Pigeon forge....I love the go kart action!!
The karts were fun.
Breaker 1, Breaker 1. I might be crazy, but I'm not dumb.
Crazy Cooter coming at ya, ....
Y'all Duke Boys, Got your ears on ?
Awaaaa Yeah!
Thanks for this taking the time to go through the museum🤠👍🏻
I love that place. Thanks for watching!
at 6:04 looks like a picture from the dukes of hazzard reunion movie witch would make the pick at the end of 96
You might be on to something.
Awesome!!! I didn't go to Cooters in Tennessee . I went to the Luray, Virginia location this past September. It wasn't as big as Gatlinburg, but it was still fun, and we grabbed up some great keep sakes.
+David T Right on! Ben's places are great and the staff is super nice.
I been there but looks improved last time was there. Dukes of hazzard was best show to watch kid or adult. I never thought of it as racist show. Cant believe people thought it was to take off the air. It was a family show brought familys together in the same room. It was the only time nobody talked just yee!! haw!!!
Kind of reminded me how things was in my home town. As kids bunch of us would slide sideways racing down gravel dirt road on the farm with a junker car.what fun it was.
I hear ya.
Awesome - great tour, thank you from the otherside of the pond!
+Ian Petts Thank you and thanks for taking the time to watch.
I had one of those big wheel General Lee's loved it wish I still had it
It's probably worth some coin by now.
3:07 " Bo has had a little too much of the shine lmaooooooo😂😂😂
Shine on!
My cousin in New York is best friends with John & Tom her husband got a general lee car they go to all the conventions
Nice!
tasty corona
So cool 😎 I need to stop by 👍 it's on my list 😀
It's definitely worth checking out. It's now in Pigeon Forge, TN.
Great video, I loved the show and would like to visit this place and Covington Georgia. I also never knew Ben Jones was in smokey and the bandit.
+kometbaby I love Gatlinburg and Covington, GA. I did a Dukes filming location vid from Covington awhile back. Thanks for watching!
kometbaby It's a cool place lol been there alot
I have to tend to agree with you on the general lee that year of charger was a beautiful body on the outside but the inside of the new chargers and the quality of interior is so much better today than it was in the 70s
I have a soft spot for old school simple designs. I haven't liked cars post 1978.
Uk u can also go to Sparta tn to the fair to see enus's general lee
I would know bc I live in Sparta tn/ Tennessee
Thanks for sharing. I didn't know Sonny Shroyer owned a General.
I like the small bash bar from the early show's. But no roll bar in that car..
Yeah, I like that bash bar as well.
Just the good ole' boys! Never meanin no harm!
That's it!
Love me sum Duke fun...What a great American show..
Agreed!
Just ran across this..way cool..glad you liked the Duke farm model display
You should see my other displays at the other stores..ones in nashville and other is luray Virginia
Nice, I'd love to see those.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog if I knew how to get pics from my phone and post here I would..but I'm on Facebook and have alot of pics on my profile of all the displays and with the cast..feel free to look and go head and borrow ,share if you want to .if it inspires even one person to create something it's worth it
@@tubiobethards1328 Sweet, thanks for sharing!
The best place on this earth is east Tennessee.
+Dustin Chambers One of my favorites for sure.
it's home to me.
HARD2KILL1029 Yep

I think that's just the mop copy of the General Lee cuz original General Lee's used to show at roll bars NH car especially for some of the stunt drivers that drove they were ride cruise I think the cars what did the jumps and stuff according to John Schneider so yeah that's not the original General Lee if you watch through the episode you'll notice to be bars on the inside on some of the cars they used due to the jumps
According to Ben Jones aka Cooter, this was one of the originals just not used for jumps.
John Schneider said there were no standard general Lee’s but a couple didn’t have roll cages. I thought I remembered seeing a stick in one episode. I wonder if that one really is one of a kind but real.
The fuel cap is not legit for the ‘year’ of the general lee. Fuel was on the next model year.
According to the owner of that particular General Lee Ben jones, it is an original but never used for stunts more of a promo vehicle for the show.
Little late to the game, but those 2 plastic bodies that you didn't know what they were, look like slotcar bodies for the flat pan type chassis'.
Hey, thanks for watching the video and commenting.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog You're welcome. Thx for posting that, as I'll most likely never get out that way. I'm in Az...Was reading further and someone said they are from McDonalds...ummm. Be interesting to find out for sure. Anyway, was wondering if you have some helpful info on this. Are all the DOH box sets the same? I see some at $99 and others at half that price. Thx!
@@MrDLRu I've seen them online cheaper and of course some Walmarts have them.
11:47, HE IS SOOOOOO RIGHT!
Thanks for watching.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog No problem man, I've always loved the Dukes of Hazzard and I went there when I was 5. Recently I went to Cooter's Place's new location and I have to say the old one is better. Mini golf AND go karts. The new one is basically just a store. Still enjoyed it but the old one appeals more to my 5 year old self.
Questa è la dimostrazione di come gli americani riescono a fare business dal nulla assoluto. In questo sono i migliori.
Thanks for watching.
They moved the one in sperryville VA to luray due to parking problems
I live in VA
+Mike Via I heard about that. Unfortunate situation for Ben, too bad they were put in that position.
I saw somewhere that they used around 300 chargers to make the entire series.
I wouldn't doubt it.
I want to say I saw the number destroyed was 260 something.
Is this adam the woo's brother,seem to talk a lot a like,anyhow love cooter's and dukes of hazzard ,TCB
I've heard that before. Adam is my friend and we definitely have similarities but, as Forrest Gump so eloquently said, "we are of no relation."
welll ima defently go there next time im on vacation there thanks for telling me about this awesome place!!
Cooter's has since moved up the road a few miles to Pigeon Forge. If you're ever up that way check em out and tell em I sent ya.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog 10-4
I agree. Dodge could have made a fortune by reproducing the body style of the 69 charger. The most sought after vehicle. They did it with the challenger, but the new chargers are just another plain, boring car. Seems like a no brainer.
Exactly!
When I was in Tennessee I got to get in it
Nice!
Time to replenish those models @ :36 and put in some UV protection. Nice tour -thx
Thanks! In hindsight I wish I would have done a better job on the video. I guess filming with a potato has its drawbacks!
They moved this to old shop center in pigeon forge. This place sucks now. Nothing like it was when was in gatlinburg. So sad
I haven't been to the Pigeon Forge location yet.
WOW! Thanks for sharing. Made my day sir.
Right on! ... thanks for watching.
I think they should make a T-shirt with Rosco saying "Hush!"
BTW would like to know if someone would answer if you would scream YEEHAW in there :)
I would definitely scream it in there! I'd like a Flash the dog t-shirt myself.
Flash,stop the car !
I want one with the police dog on it… Flash.
Tennessee right here 👊🍻👊🍻
Hola TN!
Been to Gatlinburg many times.. Never been in Cooters. The museum.
You gotta go check it out, super cool and the General is there!
I wanna go here so bad!
You should. It's now located in Pigeon Forge tennessee.
I have a general lee remote control car signed by one who drove the car new never played with bought it at a yard sale in Meyersdal pa
Right on, thanks for watching.
Wow what a Cool Video Aimless those Chargers Just got Smashed to bits !!.I often wondered how they did those Stunts !....Awsome Video 👍
It's heartbreaking to see how many of them got trashed and how difficult it is to afford one nowadays. My dream car is the 1969 Dodge Charger RT in full General mode. If I ever hit the lottery you can bet I'll be tearing it up in a General! 🤜💥
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog Yeah let me know when you win lol.😊. .Personally I wud opt for Steve Mcqueens Mustang in the film Bullet !!...Wicked 👍
@@ANGELICHUMANANGEL I've seen that vehicle in Vegas before. Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars had Counts Kustoms build him the Bullitt Mustang ... it's SICK!
I seen some were that they used around 200 chargers to make the entire seriesm
☆ CAEN MYLES SINGER SONGWRITER ☆ the family that own it the original sold at auction to someone on phone bidding for it for 2.4 million last week 1/2020 jt🇺🇸🐟🎣🌴⛱🛥😊😃🙏🏻
I love Dukes
Me too.
It's a replica of General Lee...The General's doors were welded shut in all original cars.
According to the owner of this General it's a show used original. Not all doors were welded on every Charger. They used different configurations depending on what the shot required.
Totally agree they screwed up making the new Charger a 4 door. You can’t call a 4 door a muscle car!!!!
Exactly!
Ohhh, nice!! They have that car in the Star's Car Museum too.
Cooter's is on the strip in Gatlinburg?
I've been to that museum. Lots of great cars in there. Cooters has since moved to Pigeon Forge TN.
Dukes is the BEST !!!!
Heck Yeah!
I have a shirt signed but I’m not sure who by
Nice!
should have one in georgia where the show was filmed and based around
Absolutely!
I wonder if somebody would make a general lee out of a modern charger. What would Duke boys think?
I've seen General Lee tributes made from all kinds of vehicles. Nothing's like the original but I kinda dig anything done up General style.
D Fields well. It’s the ‘wrong year’. The new challenger is designed on ‘71-‘74 model. The General Lee is a 1969 design. So if someone DID do one it would actually be wrong. 👍
Why does everyone think the General Lee was a challenger,was a 69' charger
@@SonnyGTA John Schneider said they used 68 Chargers also. But NEVER a 1970
@@captainhowdywannaparty4481 we are old. Give us a break.

Thanks for watching.
Just the good ole boys! Cooters is a awesome place to visit in TN! Love East Tennessee! I always go and film a bunch of videos up in TN for my channel! Great video, I subscribed! Keep on making awesome videos!
Thank you Josh! East Tennessee is gorgeous.
@@AimlessAdventuresVlog It definitely is!
Universal didn't make Dukes. It was Warner Brothers.
+Jerry Saunders You are correct, good catch.
Have you met up with Adam the Woo and Carpetbagger yet they're there too?
That would have been fun but we unfortunately couldn't all hook up this time.
I visited his other place. In Nashville. Best place also!
Very cool! I haven't made it out to that one yet. Thanks for watching.
309 General Lee's were used
Thanks for sharing.
I was just there last week and sat in that to
Nice! I love Ben's place and plan to visit again this year.
That was the law,bo and Luke were the good ole boys.👍🇦🇺
Yes!
