Moving, Packing up "The Dukes of Hazzard"

[mchook]

We have been in this double wide for about 20 years and now it's time to say goodbye. We aren't moving to a different location just removing this house & replacing it with a brand new one. OMG how did we accumulate so much stuff!!! I know I have a big collection of model stuff & my Dukes of Hazzard collection but I didn't realize how much shtuff is crammed into every tiny spot in this house. I've been packing Dukes stuff for 2 days & I'm tired of doing it already, I'm tempted to start listing it all on ebay just to get rid of it. Anyway, it's back to packing, I'm sorry I had to vent for a minute, here's just some of my Dukes collection I'm packing. 

 

I forgot, please don't be offended by all the Confederate flags, it's just a collection of old toys.

Wow,somebody is a real Dukes of Hazzard fan.Nice collection,that's for sure.

I didn't know it was so commercialized.  And it's a sad state of affairs that you *need to* apologize for a stupid flag, people need to stop getting outraged over stupid things.

Where do old mobile homes go to die?  I know any prior to a certain date can't be resold and relocated.

That stuff is going to become more valuable in the future to fans, now that Warner Bros pulled all licensing for the show.

Stupid PC protesters! And it wasn't even an offensive show.

[cobraman]

Wow , and I thought I had a lot of Cobra stuff.

According to the PC crowd, we are supposed to forget large swaths of our American history because certain symbols of it might be "offensive" to some.

It hasn't always been pretty, as with any country, but it is our history.

It's funny how you will see some of these same pin headed "activists" walking around with Che Guevera, Fidel Castro & Mao Zedong t-shirts.

I guess it's perfectly acceptable to support Marxist dictators & mass murderers, but God forbid that a Robert E Lee statue should exist.

Their goal seems to be to completely revise American history.

Anybody ever heard of 1984?

It doesn't seem all that far fetched to me anymore.

 

Sorry to get on the soap box, but this stuff drives me nuts!!

Very cool collection of Dukes stuff! For what it's worth, I got so fed up a few years ago when this whole thing blew up (and they took the reruns off TV), I painted up my daily driver in protest. Surprise, surprise...I got compliments and thumbs up  (pretty sure they were thumbs) everywhere I went. FYI, that's all just rolled on house paint from Wal Mart...didn't want to spend a fortune on it, but it came out ok.

That's a great collection of "Duke's " stuff and impressive also. I lived in a "double wide" for almost 20 years myself before moving to a tract home. Living in the double was good while it lasted.

I have an aunt that lives in a double wide, she and her late second husband bought it when he retired from the USPS in Sacramento and moved back to Iowa back in the 90's.  It is actually pretty nice and if you were lead into the place blindfolded, you would have a difficult time telling what it is!

Actually, yes. Nothing as monumental as the tv show, but I did get air with it a couple times, just because...?

I don't know about other ones, but I know this one has a date with an excavator & some roll offs.

Thanks, I love your car. I have a 1:1 70 Charger with plans for a General Lee clone.

 

Thanks to everyone else who commented. This double wide is from 1984 so it's worn out. I know that these types of homes have a bad rap but it's what we can afford. We looked into having a stick built house but that was way to pricey. The "Modular Homes" are built the same as the double wide but cost almost $100,000 more because they remove the wheels & axles & it needs a basement. Not to mention a with a "Mobile Home" our taxes stay cheaper too, New York taxes are nuts! The new one we picked is so nice it even has full attic. When we get it in I''l get some pics, it's really nice. 

[89AKurt]

Don't get me going about PC.  

I was wondering how a mobile home fits into a crusher..... they don't.

Beautiful job on your car! And it's great that some people aren't offended by it. At least in Vermont it is still possible to find SOME of those open minded folks.............................for a while at least!

I'm not offended by the flag, but I am OFFENDED by Coy and Vance (the second Duke boys). That's when the show "jumped the shark".

Mark - BTW, if you're interested in trading, there are some things there that I wouldn't mind having. 

Pm me if you'd like.

Monday morning, then Tuesday evening. WHAT A MESS!!!

That’ll buff out.....

[ewetwo]

That is a lot of Dukes of Hazard stuff. Make sure the replacement house is bigger. 

[Lunajammer]

If I were you I'd weed out some of the less collectable doubles, but otherwise, overall you've got a fairly valuable collection. Some hard to find stuff there.

[thatz4u]

I noticed you have both metal lunch boxes, the one with Bo & Luke, the other with Vance & Coy, nice....

[Renegade]

A great collection. Sad to say but the house you just destroyed looks a lot better than the one I live in now. Cooters Place looks like a fun place to visit, wish I lived closer.
