1929 stutz blackhawk roadster

[Guest Carmantodd]

need help finding some history and general info on on a 1929 stutz blackhawk speedster roadster convert? not sure what it is actually called. im inspecting an awesome collection of cars in yarmouth, iowa. this stutz is a really neat piece. its been part of this collection for at least 40 years or longer. family believes it may have been purchased in arizona maybe at an auction back in the 1970s. would really enjoy hearing from some knowledgable stutz people. thanks!

You need to buy the Stutz book.  It is available on the club website.  Otherwise post some pictures and you will get some responses.  There is a difference in value depending on if it is real or cobbled together, which engine and then the usual stuff like condition.

Your description is not very definitive,  either in regard to body type or engine.   If the year is correct at 1929, it could be either an M series overhead camshaft straight 8 with twin ignition; or a slightly lighter and shorter wheelbase Blackhawk   ( one word)  six cylinder version of the M series straight 8;  or an identical car except powered by an 8 cylinder side valve straight 8.   The Continental sidevalve had Rickardo patent combustion chambers, and it was slightly more powerful and less heavy than the ohc 6 cylinder. If it is an ohc 6 cylinder that is right hand drive, it is likely to be the car  that Darien Cassidy  owned in Melbourne most of the 1960s.  It was bought and shipped to the American west coast,  and we believe it has been driven very little since then.
