Equipment
440 built by Dick Landy and stuffed with ’70s muscle car clichés like a chrome chain-rimmed steering wheel, footprint gas pedal, fluffy seat covers, 8-track player, Cragar wheels, and fuzzy 8-balls in the mirror.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Built as a standard Plum Crazy 1969 Dodge Charger with a 318, but restored to look like a run-down 1969 Charger Daytona for the 2001 film Joe Dirt. It looks like a beater from a short distance, but that's mostly stage makeup. It's pretty nice underneath. All the value here is in the car's screen time.
Market commentary
A year after the movie came out, according to some online sources, the studio sold this scruffy Charger to a private owner for just $18,000. What Barrett-Jackson sold it for this year is nearly 18 times higher than that. In fact, this filthy, fake Daytona driven by the mullet-haired, mop-wielding Joe Dirt sold for almost exactly the condition #2 value of a real Daytona.
