It's so crazy to hear this story because I have heard the other side of the story from the owners in Washington. My buddy bought the car originally from a swap meet in Portland I believe for an almost unbelievably low price. The car was stolen a couple times, had some bad press and as mentioned recently sold it to a museum. When the car was stolen / repossessed in Indy the guy hired to haul the car disconnected the car hauler to pick up the owner at the airport. From all accounts it sounds like it has been a rollercoaster of emotions owning the car over the years, glad it went to a great home.

@eskamobob8662 Год назад

This is exactly what I was thinking. Like at that point some dude just got his car stolen when he had a clean title and everything. I'm surprised a repo order was even issued in the first place for it

@DVNGXR Год назад

@eskamobob8662 I mean to be fair, it seems like a very rare and weird circumstance where both parties had a title and valid claim of ownership to the car. It is a bit surprising a judge would sign of on it, but they're probably not expecting such a strange and convoluted circumstance.

Out of all the dukesfest shows and events I've been to, travis's '03 show was the most memorable. I've never been to a show like that before. I didn't own a digital camera then most of the pictures I took have been lost but I still remember. What a great experience!

@SonnyGTA Год назад

I’m not understanding something. If Rich had the title and the other plate and had a repo order….how could the Washington people take the car back again? Rich’s title is correct and he has the other plate. How were the Washington people able to take the car back and keep it?

@LynxSnowCat Год назад

*If I've understood correctly;* The Washington title they were issued was dated later than the California title Rich kept; meaning that it took precedence/priority and _functionally_ invalidated the California one. And while the reasons for the transfer of ownership that the later title was issued was decided to have not been entirely valid, the title itself was. And because the currently valid title assigns ownership; that was more than sufficient for the -bureaucracy- court to order a repossession. Just because the law says that a title shouldn't have been (legally) invalidated, doesn't mean that it hasn't been invalidated *and* need to be reissued - so that the -bureaucracy- government(*s*) involved are less likely to be confused.

Given the choice of having the show or having those Chargers sorry I'm going to have to pick the Chargers,can't belive they destroyed that many of them. It really does kind of ruin the show for me a little bit.

@johngaither9263 Год назад

I have to believe the original shenanigans that wrested the car from its builder and owner were far more involved and convoluted than is known by anyone willing or able to discus it now. If it had gone thru a legitimate seizure and auction process all prior titles, liens and claims would have been invalidated and a new title issued. But that's way too simple to be the true story.

@borisjankovici662 Год назад

Yes, something is missing. Hard to imagine a car could be repossessed with only a paper title. And then kept for years without being considered theft and having charges pressed. There is a national database of vehicle titles that states share, but that wasn't started until 1992. I wonder if it was still titled in the builders name somewhere.

@TheNova64000 Год назад

I always got the impression that the legal drama was somehow more complex than it seemed. After the car was repossessed in Nashville, Rich said that the only way to get the car back was to hire a lawyer and go to court. I always wondered what advice a lawyer would give him about this whole mess. Especially when he claimed to have had an extensive paper trail on this car, including an order from a federal judge that stated that the car was still his after it had been taken from him.

@MrBill67b Год назад

@phalupium Год назад

Sincere question- how can you just take back a vehicle that was Court ordered to take from you in a divorce? I understand that the gentleman built the car, but it just seems like he never legally had rights to the car in the first place. As long as I have a copy of the title, I can still take posession of it if I wanted?? I know the Washington family eventually had it taken back, but still. How does this happen??

@lonesoldier2485 Год назад

I would imagine that he bought the car from the production company after the Dukes Of Hazard was cancelled, and had the title to it.

@SonnyGTA Год назад

I don’t understand how the Washington people took the car back from him again!

@zombiecreations1447 Год назад

One thing that is not touched on at all in this story is, in WA if you have a "Bill of Sale", any other supporting documents and the VIN comes back clean they issue a "Temp" title. After X number of years it becomes the new title for the vehicle. I live in the WA area were the car was located. The story here is they had copies of court documents so with them they got the title. How he was able to just take it in the middle of the night kinda thing is strange.
