One of the most iconic cars in television history is going on sale. No, it's not Kitt or the Batmobile, but the General Lee, the famous ride of The Dukes of Hazard. The instantly-recognizable 1969 Dodge Charger will be going up for auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, insideline.com reports.

While there were several versions of the General Lee over the seven-season run of the television show, this is the first one. In fact, this model is seen in the opening credit sequence of every episode. Despite its fame, it has followed an interesting path to get to where it is today.

According to the website, after it was featured in the series the Charger was taken to a junkyard where it stayed for decades until 2001. The car was significantly damaged as the result of the 82-foot-long jump shown in the credits, which made it seem like it would fall into the annals of television history, never to be seen again. 

However, some fans decided to take it upon themselves to restore the classic muscle car, a project they completed in 2006. There's no telling how much the vehicle will get when it goes up for auction, but a replica recently sold for $450,000.

"If Lee 1 sells for less than that," Travis Bell, who first purchased it in 2001, told the website.  "It would be sad."

While not everyone can get behind the wheel of a piece of TV history, it is easy to get a reliable used car thanks to New Jersey State Auto Auction, which offers a wide variety of makes and models at affordable prices.
