Stutz Blackhawk 1969 prototype
pre-owned by James D. O'Donnell
photos by April
Chadwick
In April 2004, this very special Stutz Blackhawk was offered at an auction, in Canada.
Of course, there are some photos
of this car online, already,
but this is the most interesting
Stutz, and so I think you will enjoy some more photos.
The auction mentioned an estimate
of $100,000 to 150,000,
well, a lot of money...
... but this is a unique car,
preowned by the founder of
the Stutz Company.
Mr.
Ryckman showed the car with the original Firestone
LXX-tires.
In November 2004, April had the
chance to take some additional pictures,
now the car showed some new
wheels.
The old LXX-tires, more than 30 years old had to be replaced for driving the prototype.
The new rims look similar to the original LXX-rims, but more chrome.
They look great, and now Mr. Kavcic, the owner can drive his unique Blackhawk.
