Bessy is a mostly restored survivor, 1965 Dodge Dart 4 door 270 powered by a rare original 273 V8 powerplant with less than 60K original miles on her. Painstakingly brought back to like new condition over the course of the past several years, there have been so many parts replaced or restored it’s hard to list them all, but see details below. This car is one of a kind find, turns heads everywhere it goes. This car is not for those who are shy or dislike attention. A true enthusiast's machine, Bessy will provide it’s owner with many more years of faithful service. I’m the second owner of this classic head turner. I bought it from my colleague after he decided to clear out his garage to make room for new toys. She had sat in the garage since the late 80s, when she was taken out of service and burried under a stacks of magazines. I partnered with Precision Auto Center in Bay Ridge, New York to bring this classic barn find back from obscurity. With over $12k dollars in labor, OEM parts and a few safety and performance upgrades, this vehicle drives and handles even better than when it rolled off the showroom floor back in 1966 as a dealer car. All the chrome was in decent condition, so while there are many many upgrades, we kept the restoration to a slight wabi-sabi or survivor condition. Some wear shows on the dashboard, chrome, etc. I want to stress that this is a drive ready, turn key car. She runs off of regular unleaded fuel, handles like a dream on the highway or in the city. Can easily handle anything you throw at her and take it with grace and a yawn. Perfect as a daily driver, show car or weekend getaway toy. This is not intended as a parts car. Bessy is a classy lady and deserves to be treated that way. Additional Photos available CLICK HERE with captions describing at what stage in the restoration she is in.
