TMCP Podcast- Episode #141!
July 18, 2012


     This week's podcast show guest is John Byrnes, the former  owner of General Lee #51 from the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie (his car was the 51st vehicle purchased...thus the 51 designation). I first noticed John's posting of his General on eBay, and while that listing is no longer available to link to I was incredibly impressed with his write-up of the car itself - he had clearly done his homework. John's car has the unique designation as the only General used in the 2005 movie that made a manned jump (the rest were all launched with a catapult), and his car is also the one featured as the #1 most recognizable car in an 2008 issue of Hot Rod Magazine (in fact, the two-page spread in the magazine is the picture that you see above)!
