Hello everyone.  I am not a collector at all and actually only registered to get some information on my old Dukes of Hazzard General Lee die cast car I found while at my parents house.  I have already done a search about it, but the details do not match others I have seen online at all.  These are the following specs:


-Manufactured by Etrl 1981


-Approximately 8 inches in length


-Plastic tires (not rubber like I have seen) with "11L15-8" and "Etrl" on the sidewalls


-Freely moving axles


-Freely moving hood and trunk


-Slotted wheels (not vector wheels like I have seen, or on the Original General Lee)


-Black interior (not the tan interior I have seen)


Any information that people may have would be helpful.

do you have a photo of it?


There's currently a 13" version on sale at eBay (yours) and its one I remember a friend had.

The one that my friend Nobleco shows is the modern one that came out a few years ago.


Different versions of that one.


 


The real original the boot opens.

A Couple of pictures sure would help.

Here is a review and some other links.

Heya Jim, that's the newer version that got promoted with the DVDs of the show.

The one that the new poster is inquiring about really is closer to when the show aired back in the early Eighties.

found another one on ebay which is closer to the description at 8" long. only the hood opens and its from 1981.


I suspect its scale 1/24 or 1/25

Amazing find RVREVO!   It never came up in my eBay search.  That is exactly it...the only difference I can see is the top of the air intake manifold is all "chrome" and not painted black like the seller did.  I'd say it's in similar condition if not slightly better, with less fading/pealing of the stickers.  Again, thank you for your help!

that's ok, I think there's another further down on my search list.

This one looks nicer too.
