Came across this article from 2001 on the Dodge Daytona used in Joe Dirt. Pretty interesting read:
The One and Only:
Joe Dirt's '69 Charger Daytona
Automobiles and Hollywood movies are inextricably linked. Cars have promoted movies (just think of American Graffiti), and movies have turned cars into superstars (James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 comes to mind).
The 1969 Daytona presented here starred in the 60 Million Dollar-grossing hit comedy "The Adventures of Joe Dirt," just released on DVD, PayPerView, and video cassette.
This movie, produced by Adam Sandler and starring fellow SNL-Alumni David Spade, Dennis Miller, and Christopher Walken, tells the story of Joe Dirt, a hard-rock-loving janitor wearing a '70s mullet hairdo, who criss-crosses the country in search of his parents.
One of the funniest scenes depicts Joe Dirt at the impound lot: financially unable to retrieve his mint '67 Plymouth Hemi GTX convertible, he's buying the Charger Daytona instead . . . for $450.00!
Here's a link to the full article with lots of photos...

I had a 1989 Dodge Daytona ES. Flip up lights, ground effects, spoiler. I loved it although it was pretty slow (only had the 4 cyl model), I even have some high school graduation pics with it

The article isn't clear, but while the car was actually very clean under the movie paint, it wasn't a real Daytona.
It was originally a 318 powered Charger.
The owners, prior to the movie, actually welded in part of the hatch from a Vega to make the rear window plug that somewhat matches a real Daytona.

It's a travesty Avatar made over a billion and Joe Dirt only 60 million.

No better example of trashy hot. She had to be a shoe in for her My Name Is Earl role after this. They are basically the same character.
