25 ways to spot a fake General Lee

I grew up watching "The Dukes of Hazzard" and the famous General Lee, a 1969 Dodge Charger muscle car driven by Bo and Luke, that somehow evaded damage after every jump. I happened to see an article about a fake General Lee and decided to expound on the subject. The question is: how do you spot a fake general lee? To answer the question, I selected 25 signs in determining the authenticity of the "Real" General Lee.

Things to look for in a fake:

1) Rear spoiler


2) No rims, and other stuff


3) Too long


4) The 01 is not the right font
5) The wrong shade of orange


6) Steering on the wrong side of the car


7) It's in for repairs


8) Wrong name on the car


9) No roll bar


10) Wrong era


11) Guy wearing a helmet


12) Wrong age group
13) Too many zeros


13) Bo and Luke always used a compound bow


14) Not fast enough to clear jumps


15) Flag was on the roof of the car


16) Doors open and close


17) Pink outfit


18) Too high to jump in through the window


19) Too corporate


20) Way too short


21) Checkered flag on top


22) Has a roof rack


24) Way to many modifications


25) Totally unsafe at high speeds

This is the only way to spot the real deal.
