bandit trans am and hazzard charger

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.

The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.

More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

In news sure to make Uncle Jesse scowl and Cousin Daisy hang her head in shame, actor Tom "Luke Duke" Wopat of Dukes of Hazzard fame was bagged for drunk driving in New Jersey on Wednesday. According to a statement made Friday by Roscoe P. Coltrane Bill Maer, spokesman for the Passaic County sheriff's department, Wopat was yanked from behind the wheel of a Ford Bronco after running over a series of traffic cones, nearly striking a police cruiser attending to an accident.

Wopat (never meanin' no harm), was later released to his girlfriend.
