1972 STUTZ BLACKHAWK
In August 1968, New York banker James O'Donnell raised funds and incorporated Stutz Motor Car of America. A prototype of Exner's Stutz Blackhawk was produced by Ghia, and the car debuted in 1970. All these cars used General Motors running gear, featuring perimeter-type chassis frames, automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes with discs at the front. They were lavishly furnished, with all possible luxury features such as electric windows, air conditioning, central locking, electric seats and leather upholstery. On the sedans, there was typically a console for beverages in the rear seat. Engines were large V8s, originally 6.6 or 7.5L (400 or 460 ci) but by 1984 the Victoria, Blackhawk and Bearcat were using a 160-horsepower 5.7L (350 ci) unit and the Royale a 6.9L (424 ci) Oldsmobile unit developing a modest 180 horsepower.
Stutz had some reasonable success selling
newly designed Blackhawks, Bearcats, Royale Limousines, IV Portes, and Victorias. Elvis Presley bought the first Blackhawk in 1971 and later purchased a further three. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Evel Knievel, Barry White and Sammy Davis, Jr. all owned Stutz cars. The Stutz Blackhawk owned by Lucille Ball was for a time on display at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino Auto Collection in Las Vegas. However, owing to their extraordinary cost - Stutz was touted as the World's Most Expensive Car, a Royale limousine costing US$285,000 and a Blackhawk coupé over US$115,000 in 1984, production was very limited and it is believed only 617 cars were built during the company's first 25 years of existence (1971–95).
The example of this rare Stutz Blackhawk offered here is described by the vendor as driving very well and to be in very good condition all round. The car was imported by the vendor in 2012 and has only seen light use since then, covering only about 1000 miles in that time. The car is shown on this link to the Stutz Registry www.madle.org/ebh72bl.htm showing the last owner in America as Brian Lamp. This is an opportunity that should not be missed as these cars rarely come to the market.
