What in the world makes this car so special? General Lee Six (GL6) survived the constant movement of filming locations. Over 225 “General Lees” were produced, used in filming, but ultimately resulted in complete destruction. When television filming wrapped in Georgia, there were a total of 6 General Lees remaining, two that were totalled, three in usable condition and this car (GL6) which had not yet been used. Of the six cars, two of them were scrapped, three of them were shipped to California where they continued to be used but were eventually destroyed. Then there was the sixth car which was sold to the television shows transportation coordinator, Don Schisler, for very small amount of money and “considerations” to cover the money still owed to him by Warner Brothers.
