JohnBoyle Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yes, one other. It is owned, unrestored and in non-original colors, by a Stutz Club member in Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 As a replica I am interested to find out what engine and drive train it uses. I doubt that it has an original engine! Great looking car and I vaguely remember the series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking car and I vaguely remember the series!The engine is a 223 ci Ford straight six. The transmission is a Ford 4-speed with a low first gear, based on the trans, I'd guess the pair came from an early 60s Ford truck. Custom chassis, a cut down Ford axle and a early Mustang rear. Four-wheel drums. The engine has a rebuild tag on it from a L.A. shop, so Barris bought it used.All the bodywork is heavy-gauge steel. It weighs 2900 pounds...which is 1000lbs. less than a real Bearcat but it has more than twice the horsepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
