Movie Mopar of the Week: Joe Dirt’s 1967 GTX Convertible

Welcome to our first Movie Mopar of the Week! I’m gonna try to do one per week (and I’ll probably include TV cars as well).

When people think of Joe Dirt they usually think of the Superbird. We’ll get to that one later. My favorite Mopar in the movie is the ’67 GTX convertible. It’s most likely a ’67 Belvedere cloned to look vaguely like a GTX (though it has a bench seat, plus wrong paint and hood stripes). Anyway, watch the great video compilation with this car after the jump! Oh, and also be sure to check out this guy’s Joe Dirt GTX tribute car.

Old Mopars in the 24 Hours of Lemons

Should the 24 Hours of Lemons be limited to 80s and 90s crapboxes? We think not. Old Mopars can be competitive and a hell of a lot cooler than a junk Nissan or Toyota. Just check out this 4-speed Slant 6 ’64 Barracuda out of Olympia, Washington. Other Mopars competing in the 24 Hours of Lemons across the country include a ’72 Coronet in Texas, a ’65 Barracuda in Florida, a ’64 Dart on the East Coast, and a ’74 Duster and ’72 Scamp in California.
