details

• The General Lee used to jump Rosco in the final chase scene was the first General Lee ever built, named Lee1. Though there is a jump in the opening scene, the jump of Lee1 was done first. The jump was filmed on November 11, 1978 on the campus of Oxford College. After the jump, the car was repainted as a wrecked race car for episode #4 "Repo Men".
  
  
• The first General Lee, aka "Lee1" was rescued from the Georgia woods August 12, 2001 by Gary Schneider and Travis Bell. In 2005 the car began an intensive restoration. November 11, 2006, 29 years to the day after it made the premier General Lee jump, John Schneider unveiled the fully restored car to a small group of fans at Oxford College in Oxford Georgia. The car was rolled out in front of Seney Hall, the very spot the jump took place.
