Bessy is a restored survivor, 965 Dodge Dart 4 door 270 powered by a rare original 273 V8 powerplant with less than 70K original miles on her. Painstakingly brought back to showroom condition over the course of the past year, here have been so many parts replaced or restored it's hard to list them all, ut see details below.
Most restored Darts from this era are the 2-door muscle car version, nd those are easy to find. This car is one of a kind find, urns heads everywhere it goes, nd gets multiple offers driving around town. This car is not for those who are shy or dislike attention. A true enthusiast's machine, essy will provide it's owner with many more years of faithful service, n true class and with sleeper car power.
I'm the second owner of this classic head turner. I bought 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, hen she was taken out of service where she waited for a little over 30 years under a car cover and stacks of magazines.
I partnered with Precision Auto Center in Bay Ridge, ew York to bring this classic barn find back from obscurity. With over $20k dollars is labor, EM parts and a few safety and performance upgrades, his 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, o while there are many many upgrades, e kept the restoration to a slight wabi-sabi or survivor condition. Some wear shows on the dashboard, hrome, tc. But as of just this year, he is finished and ready for her new home.
I want to stress that this is a drive ready, urn key car. Nothing drips, eaks or god forbid smokes. She runs off of regular unleaded fuel, andles 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, how car or weekend getaway toy.
This is not intended as a parts car, r as something to turn into a muscle car. Bessy is a classy lady and deserves to be treated that way.
