THIS IS NOT MY ORIGINAL BUILD! All I did was convert it from a 1970 to a 1969, added a detailed interior, accessories, and painted it.
Here's a Christmas present for you all.

About The vehicle: The Dodge Charger is a model of automobile marketed by Dodge in various forms over seven generations since 1966. The Charger was redesigned for 1968, and an initial 35,000 units were slated for production. The demand was high and 96,100 Chargers were actually produced. Based on the Chrysler B platform, the model years received various cosmetic changes to the exterior and interior including: an undivided grill, rounded tail lights, and hidden headlights. The powertrains were carried over from 1967, but the 225 cu in (3.7 L) slant-6 became available in mid-1968. About This Car: The General Lee (sometimes referred to as simply "the General") is an orange 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by the characters the Duke boys, Bo and Luke. It is known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts—especially its long jumps—and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows. About this version: I started this project in October of 2021 as a simple conversion of the front of the 1970 with intent to make this car. After I changed the front, I decided to add some more detail, then I decided to make an interior. What started as a small thing that I planned to work on for a day or so turned into a huge project spanning almost a year (I worked on other projects in between). Since this was one of my favorite TV shows as a kid, I wanted to make something related to it.
Details of this build:
-Detailed interior
-Mostly functioning gauges
-Mostly realistic controls (most functions can be activated by clicking on the controls on the dash)
-Semi-realistic speed.
-correct 0-60
-Realistic startup (key and gauges)
-Detailed paint markings
-Realistic accessories, such as push bar, and flexable CB antenna
-Details that are accurate to the show

VTOL to open the trunk. I forgot to put it in the Aircraft controls

This might be compatable with VR, but since I don't have it I can't test it. If you would like to make it compatable go ahead.

Because of the one comment, I should mention: I don't support the confederacy. If you know the show, you'd know that they're the farthest from supporting confederates.
