The Best Charger General Lee Tributes Are Nissan Sentra Based

The iconic orange paint with the number 01 on the side is normally reserved for the countless Dodge Chargers that are built as homage to the Dukes of Hazzard, but sometimes a DoH fan can't afford the high prices demanded for a vintage Charger.

Perhaps the DoH fan only has an old Nissan Sentra sitting around and a few buckets of orange paint....this is what happens. Find this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for sale in Houston, TX for $4,900 via craigslist.

The best kind of General Lee tribute is one built on a Japanese car and with a printed image of a big V8 on top of the hood. Under the hood is a different story...

Powering this Nissan Sentra is a 2.0 liter 16V twin cam SR20DE inline-4 that would have been good for 150 horsepower when new, but now with turbocharger and unknown internal modifications it could make anywhere from 200 to 300 horsepower.

This orange racer is fully caged and fitted with racing seats so you won't be picking the kids up from daycare, but it will make for a few weekend racer. Ironic that the Dukes welded the doors shut on their street car but actual race cars have opening doors.

See a better orange 01 painted front driver? !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

I agree the minilite look wheels are wicked and look great on just about anything from a new Miata to a 69 Mustang. No other wheel can claim the same thing.

The Painted on V8 puts it over the top. By far the wackiest riced out sentra ever, but come on. I don't wanna see fartcan civics with painted on NSX powertrain hoods everywhere. Don't give 'em no ideas.

Not the only one..

Others find the Cadillac a bit difficult to manage for their Ecto-1 needs.
