{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}There were four new Dodge Darts sold in 2022, even though the car went out of production in 2016.

But they're just whippersnappers.

The ‘barn find’ was discovered by the team at Restore A Muscle Car in Nebraska, which has a knack for digging up old "new" cars.

The 1979 car is a two-door hardtop with a 6.6-liter engine that's in running condition and is possibly the lowest-mileage example left.
Restore A Muscle Car marketing manager Tom Hegland told Fox News Digital that the family that owned it had purchased four identical cars as investments and stored them in a building on their farm in Michigan. It was still covered in dust when they came to pick it up, but it just needed new fluids, a fuel system flush and a battery to get going again.

It's equipped with an automatic transmission, power everything and air conditioning.

It's worth a fair bit more than that now.
The car had 35.9 miles on it when these photos were taken, but is listed for auction with 36.2 miles. (Restore A Muscle Car)
According to Hagerty, one in perfect show car condition has a valuation of around $70,000, but that doesn't take into account the ultra-low mileage this one has.
