Some of you may know this car. The General Lee, what a program.

This car has 2 directions forward and turn while in reverse. Unforyunatly it does not work at the moment. The battery tray in the car got corroded due to acid leaking. My dad tested a few years ago and it worked, he forgot to remove the batteries. Nice collection piece.

The wife wanted me to throw it away. I laughed and said no. She retorted since its broke its not worth anything. I said "Its worth more than money to me."

Nice motor URI.. Something else for you to restore...lol

I don't think it can be restored. One of the metal battery terminals broke off. I would have to solder some kind of connection point. I think it looks good where it is for now.

Its been in storage for a good many years. I only used it for about a total of 6 months. I only played with it when I was at the dads house every other weekend. When I stopped playing with it my dad kept it on a shelf so it was kept in good condition.

What would Bo and Luke Duke do?

Convert to brushless and lipo, of course.

Maybe that is what Tim "The Toolman" Taylor would do.

I think I had the plastic model as well. I just don't know what happened to it.
