Somebody said this car was rejected when it auditioned for Joe Dirt movie.
Was "too nice" for the role.

Anyone have pics or info on the Daytona in Joe Dirt movie ?

Garage/Barn find in Texas around 2010 or 2011.
Hemi 4speed with original drivetrain.

Yellow car, shows some purple on cowl like it might have went plum crazy once, then a full respray with a shabby gold color.
Not sure if I have ever even seen a yellow Superbird before .

I almost got real serious about a White Superbird with White interior (and a White vinyl top) in '85 or '86 . Was a bench seat column shift auto with 440 6 pack.
$8500
damn me , couldn't go for an automatic at that price ...

I remember when these Retro-Mods were being done ,,, but have never seen one of them anywhere since.

Think they have grown on me enough finally that i might could do the Blue one.

It is in a museum (a good one, at that, pm me and I'll send you a link to my onedrive account with some pics). Built from a charger and made to look rusty, great story. From what I understand it was purchased from the film company quite reasonably. Supposed to have NOS or actual nose and wing.

Exclamation

From the "InterWebz"

"The tale goes that the owner of the car pictured was a huge Superbird fan who,
for unspecified reasons, needed a wheel chair to get around."

I say - Note the TEXAS license tags show "May 1981" for the time frame.
