Just heard from our friends at Supercar Collectibles that they've got an updated 1/18-scale "General Lee," and HCSD '74 Dodge Monaco Pursuit, that are now available for order.

Here's what they have to say about 'em:

Updated Dukes of Hazzard "General Lee": AMM964 is the 1969 Charger "General Lee" from The Dukes of Hazzard TV show (photo not of production car) and will be re-released in AutoWorld's
Silver Screen Series.

Below is a list of some of the changes & improvements that were made to make this release the most accurate GL yet.

1) Improved placement and look of roof graphics. 2) Improved placement and look of door graphics. 3) Improved finish applied to Vector wheels. 4) Removed Charger" & "R/T emblems in grille.
5) Removed R/T emblem from taillight panel. 6) Removed Charger emblem from C-pillars. 7) Removed front and rear side marker lights. 8) Removed chrome wheel opening moldings. 9) Removed headrests. 10) Removed spare tire and jack. 11) Removed cruise control equipment under the hood. 12) 383 engine (not 426 or 440 as in past releases. 13) Removed padding/insulation detail from underside of hood. 14) Longer antenna made of a thinner material to better replicate the "whip" antenna. 15) Added primer to chassis with gloss black overspray. (Idea is to hint at the General Lee's origins as a black 1969 Dodge Charger, as seen in The Dukes of Hazzard "Happy Birthday General Lee" episode.)

Using the Authentic Series mold, it is one very detailed 1:18 scale replica. We do not know for sure yet if there will be different packaging for this run of cars, but we will let everyone know when we do know for sure.

Supercar Collectibles expects to get these in in April, 2012.
