Chassis no. 2K52Y2P184740. Silver over black leather. 455/425hp Pontiac engine, automatic, chrome wire wheels, Nardi steering wheel, sunroof.

Evaluation: General wear throughout, but nothing seriously wrong. Scratches to the door handles and stress cracks at nearly all window corners. Interior is very nice with minimal use. Originally delivered to M.F. Mickelson.

Bottom Line: Among the better known and better built neoclassics, the Stutz Blackhawk was a favorite among celebrities including Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, and Johnny Cash. This one’s first owner wasn’t famous but anybody who could buy a new Stutz in the ’70s was rich, and he built a fortune in the computer hardware business. He reportedly paid $38,550, which is over a quarter million dollars adjusted for inflation. In 2023, however, around 50 grand is a reasonable price for one without celebrity cachet.
