The 1974 Dodge Dart, a car that was nearing the end of its production run, was a relatively unchanged model compared to its predecessors. Despite its declining popularity, the Dart still held a certain appeal for many.

In 1976, Dodge discontinued the Dart to make room for the new Aspen model, making the later year Darts highly sought after by collectors. This particular 1974 Dart, as seen in the photos, is a prime example of a restoration project.

The car has been sitting in a yard for over a decade, following the passing of its previous owner. While the engine still ran when the car was parked, it now requires attention to the carburetor. The seller has also included several extra parts with the Dart.
