The Stellantis first-quarter sales report is out and revealed some are somehow still hanging in there. Savvy salespeople managed to sling not only a Chrysler 200 but a Dodge Dart, too.

No, we aren’t caught in a time loop and your memory is correct: The Chrysler 200 died about four years ago and the Dodge Dart died . These cars were fine, but uncompetitive in a world where crossovers rule the roads and sales charts.

A 200 and a Dart were still sitting on a lot, just waiting for someone, anyone, to take them home. These aren’t the only zombies on the Stellantis 2021 first-quarter sales report. Some salespeople also dusted the cobwebs off of a couple of Vipers and a few Fiat 500s.

The Vipers aren’t too surprising, as some dealerships are holding onto the last remaining new serpent-themed sports cars and into the wild, reports . But that Chrysler 200 and the Dodge Dart? A part of me is imagining the poor things sitting out in the back of the lot, dusty and ignored.

It’s not all dead ends in the Stellantis sales report. As notes, Ram truck sales beat out Silverado sales:

For the quarter, Ram sold 148,836 pickups, up 16%, compared with the Chevrolet Silverado, at 126,591, down 12.5%. Ford’s F-Series remained in front at 203,797, up 9%.

Cars generally. A car that’s been sitting on a lot for five years could have rusty brakes, paint blemishes or a battery that won’t hold a charge. Since these zombies were sold via dealerships, these problems are less likely to pop up, but still, if you score an epic deal on some unsold dead car, be sure to check it out to make sure everything is as they should be.

2019 Toyota Supra: The King Is Back And Good Enough To Hunt Porsches
It’s been a long time coming. It has been 25 years since the launch of the last , way back in 1993. The internet was barely out of diapers back then, and all you really needed in life was a manual gearbox, a turbocharged 2JZ engine, a gigantic hoop spoiler...

God Can Always Track You Down and Kill You, but in a 300 Horsepower Toyota Camry You Get a Pretty Good Running Start
I spent a week in a nearly $40,000 with a red leather interior and 301 horsepower. It is one of the best cars on sale today. I’d call it an instant classic but for two minor flaws. ( Toyota wanted me to drive the new Camry so bad that they...

What is the Best-Looking Car You Can Buy for $50,000?
Let’s be real, friends—car purchases aren’t always rational. You can say you want about safety features and good fuel economy, but cars can be just as much of a fashion statement as a nice watch or a pair of jeans. So if you wanted exotic car looks but don’t have...

Today’s C/K might be old, but its kit and condition mean it’s still got it going on. Let’s see if its price will also make it worth going out and getting. Ford’s Taurus has been described as the car that saved Ford. Hell, there’s even by that title. That may...

At $6,000, Could This Shabby Chic 1991 Lotus Elan Get Some of Your British Racing Green?
While it may share its name with a venerated and desirable ancestor, today’s Elan shares little else. Let’s see if this bedraggled edition is priced commensurate with its station and condition. While it didn’t fair as badly as did Monday’s Taurus SHO, yesterday’s still couldn’t get a pass at its...

What an Electric London Taxi Is Like to Drive
Providing passage for the tired, tipsy, and busy, the Black Cab is as much a part of foggy London’s furniture as the red phone boxes no one uses. Thing is, the cabs you’re used to seeing aren’t very efficient, comfortable, or spacious. So the LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) TX...
