A MAN made the incredible discovery of a rare “mystery” Dodge while exploring an abandoned barn.
The lucky bloke took to TikTok to share the 1971 classic car find that left car fans speechless.
In the one-minute video posted on the social media channel, @realcar62 filmed the rusty red Dodge that seemed to have been left abandoned in a filthy barn.
He walked around the vehicle, while two other men stand beside the car in shock at their jaw-dropping discovery.
Among dusty tires and old work equipment, the vintage Dodge sat windowless and covered in a thick layer of grime.
The American car fanatic gave his 177.1k followers a 360 view of the parked car and even opened it’s bonnet to show fans the old-fashioned engine.
Car fans were left stunned at the trio’s incredible discovery and flooded the content creator’s comment section with their guesses on what the “mystery” Dodge could be.
One wrote: “It’s Dodge Dart Swinger, I had one with a 340 punched it out to a 406 stroker. It was a killer on the street. Running under 12’s in the 1/4 mile”.
Another fan said: “Nice find Dodge Dart”.
Two TikTok users even left a series of heart-eyed emojis at the lucky barn find.
Although many users left their guesses, the majority suggested the classic 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger but as the car was in such a tattered state, it remains a mystery if this is the correct answer.
A look into the iconic seventies car
The Dodge Dart Swinger was a classic American car that took the industry by storm when it was released – for it’s glam style, well-built interior and high quality performance.
The model instantly became a bestseller and was one of the cheapest Dodge cars at the time.
In it’s manufacturing year, 1971, Dodge Dart Swingers made up for more than 100,000 of the model’s total sales.
While the model stood out among competitors due to its low price-tag, the Dodge also offered a variety of luxury touches.
It boasted colour-keyed carpeting, a padded steering wheel, faux-woodgrain trimming within the instrument panel, as well as optional add-ons which ranged from a stereo cassette player to power steering.
According to HotCars, a Dart Swinger in “good” condition can cost anywhere between £11,000 to £16,000, and if its in “perfect” condition, you could find yourself spending up to £97,000.
The video has racked up a mega 29.6k likes from car enthusiasts across the platform.
Realcar62 is known by his followers to post clips on old American cars, especially Fords, Dodges and Chevrolets.
This comes after two urban explores uncovered hundreds of abandoned classic cars in an astonishing find.
Matt, 43, and Andy, 56, journeyed to a location in Suffolk, where they originally wanted to explore an abandoned house.
But they were left in shock when they discovered a car graveyard filled with hundreds of classic models that had been forgotten about.
Matt and Andy found a Ford Prefect, a Ford Model T, a Morris Van, Austin A40 and a Land Rover Defender.
But also a Bentley S2, Ford Model T, Talbot Sunbeam, and Wolseley 15/60.
And another pair of explorers stumbled across a long-forgotten car graveyard abandoned in the woods.
The dad-son duo were amazed to find a classic Volvo 340, Mark I Ford Fiesta’s and a red Ford Popular.
