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.

At $13,500, Could This 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo Be Two Times The Fun?
There’s a good reason beyond its impressive specs to want to buy today’s 300ZX, and that’s the ability to boast about its having the same headlamps as certain Lamborghini Diablos. Let’s see what that sort of bragging rights might just be worth. Retro cars—meaning those that are modeled on...

At $2,990, Could This 1988 BMW 325i Convertible Be The Ride For Your Endless Summer?
The seller of today’s 325 drop top says it has “no needs” at this time. The pictures in his ad however, tell a different story. Let’s see if this solid but somewhat in-need Bimmer is also needy when it comes to its price. If you looked at the engine...

A Teenage Kansas Farmer Built This Diesel Off-Road Corvette And It's A Stroke Of Genius
When the C8 Corvette , I bet most of us were deeply disappointed that its 490 horsepower V8 engine was not a much, much less powerful, heavier, less-refined diesel motor. But there’s good news, because a compression-ignition Corvette does exist, though it wasn’t built by GM, but instead by...

The Turbocharged Mazda 6 Might Be The Best Sports Sedan You Can Buy For Under $25,000
I’m going to admit that I didn’t really buy into the hype when the updated 2013 came out. It was stylish and handled well, but for a company whose tagline used to be “Zoom, Zoom” it felt a bit slow. with an available turbo motor and now those cars...
