Description
A Very Rare Opportunity Has Arrived, this Classic 1972 Stutz Blackhawk was Specifically Built For Legendary Singer and Rat Pack Member, Sammy Davis Jnr. Presented In Black & Gold with Black Leather & Gold Plated Interior and 88000 miles on board. With an extra heavy gauge steel body handmade at Carrozzeria Padane in Modena, Italy, and from 1972 at Carrozzeria Saturn in Cavallermaggiore, near Torino, Italy, and greater than 19 feet long, the production Blackhawk uses Pontiac Grand Prix running gear, Pontiac's 7. 5 L (455 in³) V8 engine, and a GM TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. With its engine tuned to produce 425 hp (317 kW) and 420 ft·lbf (570 N·m), the 5000 lb (2300 kg) Blackhawk can accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/ h) in 8. 4 seconds with a 130 mph (210 km/ h) top speed, delivering eight miles per gallon (30 L/ 100 km). Later Blackhawks use Pontiac's 403 and 350. Also Ford, Chevrolet and Cadillac engines were used. The handbuilt Blackhawk has 18 to 22 handrubbed lacquer paint coats that took six weeks to apply. Total production time for each vehicle was over 1500 man-hours. In 1980, the Blackhawk was redesigned for the Pontiac Bonneville chassis and 1985, the Oldsmobile 88 Delta Royale/ Buick LeSabre Chassis. Other famous owners included Dick Martin, Lucille Ball, Dean Martin (who owned three and crashed his 1972 Blackhawk with vanity plate DRUNKY), Robert Goulet, Evel Knievel, Wilson Pickett, Luigi Colani, Johnnie Taylor, Johnny Cash, Lenora "Doll" Carter, Curt Jürgens, Erik Estrada, Larry Holmes, as well as Jerry Lewis, Liberace, Willie Nelson, Lou Brock, Isaac Hayes, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Tom Jones, Billy Joel, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Al Pacino, Wayne Newton, Barry White, and H. B. Halicki. The Shah of Iran reportedly owned twelve of them. Stutz collector Ken Ramsey owns at least ten Blackhawks. Each car included a dash plaque naming its original owner.
