First “General Lee” Ever Built Heads To Auction

At next weekend’s Barrett Jackson Scottsdale auction the first 1969 Dodge Charger ever used in “The Dukes of Hazzard” will cross the block with No Reserve. The car was used and destroyed filming a jump off a dirt ramp that was featured in the opening of all 145 episodes of the show.

Second Gen Perfection? ’72 Pro Touring Camaro SS

Seems like the First Gen Camaro is the prodigal son of Chevrolet.  Look no further than  the current Camaro, reconstituted in the First Gen’s image. Second Gen cars are certainly popular but are usually considered second string to it’s older brother. This Camaro might change all that and asProTouring.com reports, it’s currently for sale.

Barrett-Jackson To Offer 1954 DeSoto Adventurer II Concept

Concept cars are generally not built as daily drivers. Like supermodels, their purpose is to outshine all others in the spotlight for a brief period of time, not to shuttle kids back and forth to soccer practice before hauling groceries home from the local WalMart.
When their moment in the sun is over, most concept cars go the crusher (supermodels, on the other hand, generally get reality TV shows). One notable exception to this rule was the 1954 DeSoto Adventurer II concept, which was…

Dodge Dart: A Familiar Name Returns From An Unlikely Place

In January, the Chrysler Group will sneak an Alfa dressed like a Dodge into the Detroit auto show.

Chrysler announced Tuesday that it would bring back the Dart nameplate for Dodge’s first compact sedan since the Neon was phased out in 2005. And judging by the Dart’s Italian pedigree, it will not be the plain vanilla scoop of the ’60s that its namesake was — even in Swinger guise — nor will it be a Hemi-powered limited-edition monster like the version fielded by Dodge in 1968.
