Went to take the 69 Dart to a car show today. NOPE

It is almost always parked with a half a tank or less. May be the problem.
You need to store the vehicle with the fuel tank either completely full or completely empty and drained.
When using the car you need to occasionally ( every couple of months) run the tank down near empty less than a quarter tank then re fill it full.
With today’s fuels, if I was only driving the car enough to burn a tank full a year, I would be looking at installing some kind of small auxiliary gas tank in the trunk so that the gas would get used up and replenished on a regular basis.
