Kessler Brothers Hemi Dart - 02/04/15 04:07 PM
Friend of mine owns this car. And I would like to build a model replica of this car.
I have found someone who can make decals to replicate the car. But he needs some high quality pics of the actual car. in various angles.
I was at the owners place yesterday and the car is burried in the back of the shop with NO way to get any quality pics.
SO I am askin here...post them if you gottem. Including any of the bowling ball bag looking interior.
Please

Hello! I am from Sabina Ohio. I was a neighbor of the Kesslers growing up. That dart was a big part of my childhood. The interior was as-is when the Kesslers purchased the car. I have attached a photo of the car before the Kesslers owned it. Look closely at the C pillar inside of the drivers compartment. You will see a diamond in the upholstery just as it is today. Enjoy

Don't forget the HillBilly on the trunk lid!
Here are a few pictures. Even a couple from its black and white days!

A little more. I was permitted the privilege of carting water jugs for the cool down on many occasions. My payment was permission to ride up to the staging lanes with Stevie. At some point, the boys updated the 3 point roll bar to a full cage and back half. I was given the head rest from the roll bar that was finished in the same smoked red upholstery material. I was young and it got away from me. Another thing. I believe the car was the FS/2AA record holder when the AHRA ended. That's everything the same as is but, with a rat roaster and a single 4 barrel carb. I know Stevie still has the certificates in his attic somewhere. Hope y'all enjoyed my little contribution. Chip
