Niemand heeft nog zin in de General Lee
De oranje 1969 Dodge Charger uit The Dukes of Hazzard, beter bekend als General Lee, is hier al meermalen voorbij gekomen. Een paar uurtjes geleden ging het allereerste exemplaar onder de hamer op de Barrett-Jackson veiling in Arizona, en het resultaat mag met recht teleurstellend genoemd worden. Voor een fooi van 121.000 dollar (nog geen 100.000 euro) ging hij weg....

Auctions: Barrett-Jackson 2012: $300,000 takes home 2013 Shelby GT500 prototype [w/video]
Filed under: Auctions, Ford This beaten and battered 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 prototype is proof that you can buy just about any type of vehicle at Barrett-Jackson.

Auctions: Barrett-Jackson 2012: One of two Devon GTX supercars reaches bid of $200,000
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Auctions, Specialty Way back in 2009, a small but hopeful automaker called Devon Motorworks came to life with a somewhat shocking vehicle that it planned to sell as a true bespoke American supercar. Sadly, and for a number of reasons (not the least of which was the bankruptcy of its major parts donor), the Devon GTX never made it into the hands of the public. That doesn't mean Devon...

Auctions: Barrett-Jackson 2012: 1964 Cadillac JFK Hearse garners final bid of $160,000 [w/video]
Filed under: Classics, Auctions, Celebrities What price would you pay to own a piece of history? We're thinking that might depend on what sort of historic significance we're talking about... or, in the case of this 1964 Cadillac Hearse, how morbid that history may be. As you may remember, Barrett-Jackson in 2011 auctioned off a 1963 Pontiac Bonneville ambulance that some thought carried John F....

Auctions: Barrett-Jackson 2012: Dukes of Hazzard 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee falls flat [UPDATE: w/video]
Filed under: Classics, Auctions, Celebrities What's "the most famous television car in the world"? We suppose that depends on who you ask, but to many, nothing but the General Lee could possibly hold the title. Of course, there wasn't just one General Lee. In fact, scores of orange Dodge Chargers were filmed for "The Dukes of Hazzard," and most of them never survived their first televised escapade. Not so Lee 1, so named...

Barrett-Jackson 2012: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 races across the auction block [w/video]
Filed under: Classics, Performance, Auctions, Chevrolet If you're as excited as we are by the 2012 Chevy Camaro ZL1, it might be wise to understand the historical significance of those three letters at the end of Chevy's retrofied muscle car. Way back in 1969 - a year some consider to be the apogee of Camaro history - the automaker built just 69 ZL1s, each powered by an aluminum-block 427-cubic-inch V8 that was...

Barrett-Jackson 2012: 1933 Pierce-Arrow sells for $2 million
Filed under: Classics, Auctions For the first time since 1973, a Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow has gone up for auction. Just five of these historic machines were ever built, and only three are known to exist today. So, it's rare. But it's also fast. In 1933, when the Silver Arrow went on the market, its top speed of 115 miles per hour was extremely impressive. So, when a Pierce-Arrow rolled down the block at...

Volkswagen: GM ha falsato i dati di vendita 2011?
Sembra che il primato mondiale di vendite raggiunto da General Motors abbia fatto imbestialire i vertici del gruppo Volkswagen, convinti che il 2012 sarebbe stato "il loro anno". E' per questo che a Wolfsburg è in atto una piccola polemica sui numeri dichiarati da GM: VW ha infatti specificato che i numeri di vendita del gruppo tedesco non includono le vendite totalizzate da Scania e Man (che valgono insieme circa 200...

Video: How Seattle buses get up snowy hills
Filed under: Etc., Government/Legal, Videos Seattle has taken a white, snowy beating of late, but the city has made it a point to keep its bus services running. Not being the flattest city on record, Seattle's steeper inclines can present a challenge to municipal vehicles. One way around this is, apparently, to use a wrecker to push a bus up a hill. To the casual eye, this looks like a potential avalanche of...

Filed under: Green Culture, Hybrid Consumers in the 19-to-31-year-old age range - also known as Generation Y - favor hybrid-electric vehicles over gas-powered cars and many are willing to pay an extra $3,000 for 10 more miles per gallon of fuel economy.
