The guy who gave them the barn: "they sound like they are really enjoying that barn..." Also the guy that gave them the barn: *hears dixie horn* "AW SHIT I FORGOT MY GENERAL LEE IN THERE"
To any kid who grew up in a late 70s/early 80s, an orange charger was friggin magical. That these kids even know what The General is makes me a happy guy. There;s hope yet!
I’d be in heaven if I were to find a Charger under wraps. But to discover it’s a restored General Lee is just on another level. The General and KITT were the cars of my early teens and have always stayed with me as being 2 of the most iconic cars in TV history. But the General was always just that little bit more special. Anybody who watched the Duke boys race him around week after week will understand when I say that car had a soul of its own.
Sir you made 3 boys extreemely happy, my father did the same thing in 1980 with a "Smokey and the Bandit" firebird. Though he is long since passed away i still remember that moment as if it was yesterday. Good for you man your kids will remember this for the rest of their lives.
not every day you find a restored running 1969 charger. (Post statement: It's definitely a 69 look at the grill pillar and the thin strip tail lights lol. But good lord I didn't expect so many people to reply to this comment much less 4 years later, and much less still that so many of you were painfully wrong xD)
Come on now... everyone knows that the real General Lee's doors didn't open they were welded shut, but on the real... this is a home run in keeping dreams alive when kids are growing up. 100% awesome dad!!! One of the cooliest videos I've ever seen.👍👍👍
You are absolutely right. Who cares if it was set up. That was a moment that those kids will remember for the rest of their lives. If I found the General Lee in our barn when I was 12, I would have peed myself!! Hell, I'm 45 now and if I found that in my barn today, I would probably still pee myself! Haha! That was AWESOME!!!!
Awesome.... hearing how excited those boys were, is totally cool. I can still remember how that car made me feel when I was a little boy, I still get all gooey when I see one in person. I would love to build my own General Lee someday!!!
Nice stage job for the boys! When they touch the hood to pull the pins and one exclaims "it feels hot", and clearly the motor is spotless. I envy those boys if my parents had ever done anything so cool.
Brings back memories when I was a kid...that's what got me into American muscle. The General Lee, Starsky and Hutch, Bullit, Night Rider, and one of the rigs I loved was BJ Mackey.
Coz every car Ive ever pulled out of a barn and restored has a fully charged battery, pumped up tyres, non-stale-fuel, a non-seized carburetor, and no rats nest in the engine bay blocking the air intakes.
I just don’t understand how people can’t enjoy life. Not talking about depressed people and all that but I mean there’s people who are always negative and have to find something to bitch about. They just can’t enjoy a cool video of a dad making his kids happy
Its more expensive to build one yourself all the paint not to mention the dixie horn witch is about 3000$ then you got the interior doesnt matter and more I was just lazy I bought one
Did anyone else hear the guitar start playing and the song start to play " just the good ole boyyys " when they lifted the cover and said " it's the general Lee!" ?
The humanity is dumb is this group. He was making his kids happy. Great job on picking apart a great video. SMH Your dads must have really sucked!! The dad in this video kicks ass!! Great job dad. Keep it up and the kids will have great stories to tell!
I Would love one not many of them over here in the UK you cant beat an old classic i still watch them call me sad but it reminds me of the good old days
Yep a car sitting in storage cover in a tarp isn't gonna be dusty the engine will work the horn will work and the wheels aren't dry rotted.... Seems legit...
Now thats a Father and sons moment right there, even mother is getting all fizzed up, just like my Mrs when the bad ass Mopar comes out of hibernation. Chicks are helpless to the energy of the Mopar Force.
Am I the only one who heard belt squeal. The car wasnt perfect. But I will say that 440 was healthy. Perhaps he was surprising his kids with a car he had just bought. I have 6 boys and that is how they act when they are excited. Leave it be. If it was fake so what.
Success SourcesBT I stand corrected, was not looking that close at the engine, but rater listening to the exhaust sing. The 440 has a unique exhaust ring (as does a Hemi).
Hello there that's a very nice car that is my favorite car I used to watch The dukes of hazard I miss it being on TV now but this car brings back old memories congratulations with it keep
Nice. I have the same car that my parents bought for me and restored it to make it look like the General Lee. It's a 1970 Dodge Charger 500. I'm only 13!
The reason the doors would not open was Just for TV audience's & the story purpose. In reality the "Real" General Lee's car door's opened too. All several hundred of them they went through in the show & in the movies. Some dumbass may have welded their personal Charger doors shut, But WB's Charger doors Did open like a Normal car.
You posters can't really be that silly, can you? Do you not see on the hood, that the car had been parked outside? The Dad bought the car, told the kids he was given a barn, and that what was inside it was theirs-call it. They "found" the car under the tarp, and called it.
come on guys quit bashing sp what if its fake like they said did it for the kids if you knew yr history some of the general lees doors open they had one car with doors welded shut even the one John Scheneider auction off the doors open any way still classic car just enjoy the video great job guys loved it. tressure it.
P for me being born in the 80s and seeing the general Lee absolutely love that car and hoped the dream to have one now I'm almost 40 now and still don't have one but someday maybe I will awesome to see the kid excited of a classic car like that I know I will be excited just like him as well
The guy who gave them the barn: "they sound like they are really enjoying that barn..."
Also the guy that gave them the barn: *hears dixie horn* "AW SHIT I FORGOT MY GENERAL LEE IN THERE"
If I were them I would be fucking triggered
I would be pisssssed
@@Azr365 imagine that’s just your spare car and your just driving in your main general lee
Yeah right
I think the Father bought the car, I doubt owner just gave him the car.
“Sits for years” starts up first turn and the batteries not dead😂
It’s probably bought for the kids
Aiden Hadfield It is obvious that it is set up for the kids, no battery will last years without being started. Or the ignition wires.
Um. News flash. It was a setup for the kids. Yoy
it has new tx stikals
That is there car the put it there
To any kid who grew up in a late 70s/early 80s, an orange charger was friggin magical. That these kids even know what The General is makes me a happy guy. There;s hope yet!
I was born in 1978 I bin nowing this car same thing as Smokey and the bandit trans am
Its red not orange
A lot of people in my high school know about this car and it is my dream car
To make it even better, my name is Halen after Van Halen
@@buellracing631 are you stupid its orange lol

Dont leave out Christine. She was absolutely bad ass
PURE JOY...from when I was 5 or 6 to now... 40 years later, the General Lee still gives me that same euphoric feeling.

7:54 and he was never seen again 😂🤣
Imagine if he actually did that

& You never will!!!
Ethan Lexa not just any dodge charger
It's actually a 1970's Dodge Charger
@@debbiebramble7152 actually its 1968
HERO RAINZ definitely a 69 you can tell from the grill on it
That's something those kids will remember for ever awesome job parenting!
+JRoberts1260 what did they say it was?
OMG!!!! I didn’t want this video to end. The excitement on the boys faces! I was smiling just as big as them. So, so cool!!!!! ❤️
This guy just made a memory his kids will never forget.
That car starting up sounds soooooo good
My God, that sound gave me goosebumps!
2023 ..... still LEGEND ❤
wait until the kid turns 16 and decides to take it off road like the movie and jump it.

You guys seriously can't tell that is was set up for the kids!?! He's just playing along lol
I was thinking the same. The car is to clean to have been sitting and forgetting aby
@@CaptElijah yeah i was thinking the same its so clean
Should have welded the doors and really messed with the kids.
I did
Its still cool to see even if set up but there was some dist
You are absolutely right. Who cares if it was set up. That was a moment that those kids will remember for the rest of their lives.

Heck ya!
These kids are like time travelers.....they actually popped the hood and love the car
What a cool dad, these kids will remember that day forever.
Awesome.... hearing how excited those boys were, is totally cool. I can still remember how that car made me feel when I was a little boy, I still get all gooey when I see one in person. I would love to build my own General Lee someday!!!
Buy a 69 charger and put the bumper and do the paint job and u have a replica
That horn is the best 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd imagine if this had taken place in the early 80's the reaction would be 10x better
Nice stage job for the boys! When they touch the hood to pull the pins and one exclaims "it feels hot", and clearly the motor is spotless. I envy those boys if my parents had ever done anything so cool.
It warms my heart to see a new generation of Dukes of Hazzard and General Lee fans. Great job, parents!
These guys deserve an Oscar for their great acting in this video.
Skyblue375 I know right. So fake.
Yeah I'm betting the adults set it up for the kids
What do u think idiot
yup super fake, the tag says 01-11 meaning it expires the year after this was uploaded
Smh
The flag has history it's not about hate, get your butt's over the hill and live it up!!
the final version of the confederate flag was all white
@@NoPrivateProperty oof
It's a racecar not a racist car.💪
Poor @michael roya...
Bless your heart🤣🤣🤣
@michael roya ur gay
i thought it was cool then he OPENED THE DOOR
dylan hobe My thoughts exactly!
Anonymous Subscriber You just responded to a three year old comment you asshat.
dylan hobe I would take it
Heh I get what you mean they shoulda jumped in the real one had welded doors
The doors on the original, actually did open.
Thats awesome! way to go. what a classic
Lovely video, it will provide some very special memories for those boys,what an amazing father 👍
Too sweet! I bet those boys will tell this story everyday of their life! Great job Mom and Dad!
They found a general lee and that one kid was more interested in a golf club and banging it on a piece of wood. 😂
Maybe HE knew it was a fake! NO Roof FLAG?
Richard Simpson there is a flag bud
I would be too
And omg the sound is just fantastic one of the nicest sounding ones I’ve heard wow
Great job sir on making great memories with your children
Brings back memories when I was a kid...that's what got me into American muscle. The General Lee, Starsky and Hutch, Bullit, Night Rider, and one of the rigs I loved was BJ Mackey.
imagine walking into a barn that hasn't been entered in years an finding a classic but damn that was set up
I'd give my life savings for this car
BottsVlogs same I’m 11 and I’ve wished I had that car since I was 9 years old
Me too, sadly it wouldn’t be enough.
I saw a General Lee that looks exactly like this one drive by my house!!!!
They were all extremely similar lmao
Mate you'll see loads of them ther fucking everywhere now its a shame really
Coz every car Ive ever pulled out of a barn and restored has a fully charged battery, pumped up tyres, non-stale-fuel, a non-seized carburetor, and no rats nest in the engine bay blocking the air intakes.
lol
Check the boot, Daisey Duke my still be hog tied in there!
+OZITIM I don't think daisy duke is in there cowboy boots
.
Sorry, In Australia we call the 'trunk' the boot! The joke was lost in translation
Somebody sure likes the horn!😂
That engine definitely had been started within a week
Its way too clean to be left there for years
I’m pretty sure that he bought the car, and staged the barn found to surprise his kids. Coolest dad ever.
Yes I think it started up to essay
A pretty great dad to surprise his kids like that! :)
I'm jealous I love chargers especially the genral lee
My god,these wonderful kids,it's so funny..their eyes wide open!Thanks for sharing...
Obviously the guy bought the car but still a cool video
LegendaryGameChannel no der
This is a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing! Its things like this kids will remember for the rest of their life.
People...... just enjoy the video, and do not pick it apart. Get a life damn it .Where the hell do you damn people come from???
Christopher Abernathy Well said.
YEAH, WHAT HE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!
vonyers georgia i bet
Mexico bitch
I just don’t understand how people can’t enjoy life. Not talking about depressed people and all that but I mean there’s people who are always negative and have to find something to bitch about. They just can’t enjoy a cool video of a dad making his kids happy
Meu Deus, esse carro fez História. O General Lee é Fantástico, as linhas desse dodge charger 1969 são lindas. Ainda é um grande carro.
Kool video those kids will remember this for a long time! Not too many parents like that around anymore. My hats off to them!
All the boys walking in and going,
“NOOOO! NOOO! PH MY- I WANNA DRIVE IT!”
That’s just amazing.
Man, I wouldn't mind one myself, specifically like that. I would've died of a heart attack.
Gonna say it’s rather shiny for a car in a deteriorating barn, but hey it’s a Lee.
I'm so jealous of that I wish that was me cuz I love the general Lee I've been planning of building one when I get older
Bryan Dick same
Hopefully protesters don’t find it
Its more expensive to build one yourself all the paint not to mention the dixie horn witch is about 3000$ then you got the interior doesnt matter and more I was just lazy I bought one
@@mikemc4340 lol, well maybe sad, I just can't make up my mind.
Awesome. Classic. Car from the TV series. Dukes of hazzard tv movies also movies at theaters one of my favorite cars
Imagine this dude taking his kids to school with this... TRAFFIC WILL NEVER EXIST WHEN SOMEONE IS BEHIND DA WHEEL
Cool, I knew as soon as I watched, the dad was in on it, ya don't go "oh look a badass car" and not yell it lol
What an awesome video. Way to make the kids happy!
Pretty cool lookin' General, and those are some excited boys!
Did anyone else hear the guitar start playing and the song start to play " just the good ole boyyys " when they lifted the cover and said " it's the general Lee!" ?
man.. i grew watching this show... General lee... bad azz.... All about General lee and KITT knight rider!
4:59 and he opened the door of General Lee OMG
This one had windows, so you kinda had too
i am so jealous, if i ever got that though, i would weld the doors shut XD
yea, same here
i know right
+THE GHOST yes but you know damn well after it said and done you would love it :) its all our boys dream car next to KIT lol
I'm 36 and still waiting to get my hands on one 😀
you would have to leave the window open to get in, how would that work in the rain?
The humanity is dumb is this group. He was making his kids happy. Great job on picking apart a great video. SMH Your dads must have really sucked!! The dad in this video kicks ass!! Great job dad. Keep it up and the kids will have great stories to tell!
Amen to that

I’m so friggin jealous!!! And I’m 50…. A general Lee is on my bucket list. In fact it IS my bucket list.
That horns awsome..sounds loud as hell. Your supposed to slide in the windows general Lee's doors didn't open 😂
Stunt cars did not the regular ones
Yep a car sitting in storage cover in a tarp isn't gonna be dusty the engine will work the horn will work and the wheels aren't dry rotted.... Seems legit...
"It's just like the one in the movie!" as he opens the door. :FAIL:
OK KARRENall the sub's you have look's like a FAIL 🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂
That's definitely the ultimate barn find.
Very cool
Now thats a Father and sons moment right there, even mother is getting all fizzed up, just like my Mrs when the bad ass Mopar comes out of hibernation. Chicks are helpless to the energy of the Mopar Force.
What cool parents
When is the video of the jump being posted?
Now that's how you introduce your dreamcar to the family, Make them think you found it....Awesome cam Lick this one has.....🔥🔥👊😇
He's playing it off good. Great job. 😂
This is like an episode for the dukes of Hazzard 😍!! I love the expressions on the kids when it came out of the barn😂!!
I would have lost my ever lovin mind if I had been one of those kids! I don't give a damn about flags or whatever! What a great dad!
Weld the doors closed 😂😂

You mean the 383?
I am not seeing where they said it was a 383. Ah well 383 440 same block. Go troll someone else.
Bob Slosky
Nope, not the same block, the 383 is a "B" engine, the 440 is an "RB" engine.
Any real MOPAR person, Could see that was a Small block (distributor in back) probably a direct connection 360. Successsourcesbt@youtube.com

I stand corrected, was not looking that close at the engine, but rater listening to the exhaust sing. The 440 has a unique exhaust ring (as does a Hemi).
I love that car
If I ever get a general lee I would play the song from Johnny cash and go down the highway with tears in my eye
I'd blast AC/DC
One does not simply put all that shit on a pristine 1969 dodge charger R/T
One does because its badass and you can repaint it if you want.
MaxTheKanuck it's A '68 BTW
bunchygymnast57 its my xbox account It is most definitely a 1969.
bruh that's an L/T not an R/T the challenger is an R/T dumbass get it right
Hey parents, cute job with the kids! they will always remember that.. BUT, that was TOTALLY STAGED! I'm sure for the kids benefit.. and that's cool..
You should be a detective
Donald Oxner you should be a comedian.
Thats pretty cool. I know its staged though. But still.. AWESOME! :D
And the dad-award of the millennium goes to..... THIS GUY!!!
Dreamed of owning this for 30 years. Now I wish I could just ride in one.
8:00 sounds just like the TV show!
the barn looks like one in the show as well

Yes this was staged, yes it was a nice “surprise” for the kids that have no clue. Cool car. I have a 61 t-bird tho.
Night Assassin I’ve found barn finds with flawless interiors before, but the whole exterior is impossible.
Oh yeah it was staged. But I'll bet the kids spend more time in the garage learning something and less time sitting on video games
Adam Sears based off how they new what it was and it wasn’t an actual find I’d say the parents probably raised the kids with little to no video games.
It's fake because the real one the doors don't open this the doors do open
The reason the doors would not open was Just for TV audience's & the story purpose. In reality the "Real" General Lee's car door's opened too.

Is this the origin story for Dukes of Hazzard? That was the last time them Duke boys saw their father!
the general lee doors is wielded shut
Ya no shit!!!!
Technically only the drivers side door dipshit
