Description of 1965 Dodge Dart 270

Bessy is a mostly restored survivor, 965 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, here have been so many parts replaced or restored it's hard to list them all, ut see details below.


This car is one of a kind find, urns heads everywhere it goes. 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.


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, hen she was taken out of service and burried under a 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 $12k dollars in 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.


I want to stress that this is a drive ready, urn key car. 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. Bessy is a classy lady and deserves to be treated that way.
