wayne sheldon Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Is this the engine that was discussed about a year or two ago? Looks like the same shelving behind a very similar Stutz engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as the six. Have her contact the Stutz club info@stutzclub.org and they will advertise it to their members. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never was good at searches to find past discussions, but was hoping to push someone else to recall more. Sadly, "not worth much" was the conclusion of the previous discussion as I do recall. I sure hope that engine can find its way to a Stutz owner that could use it or at least keep it around awhile longer. Things like that are not valuable these days, unless one really needs it to keep their Stutz on the road. And then only if they have deep enough pockets.

The chances of that engine ending up in a car is about one and 10. And I’m probably being optimistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) In todays reality, it's more valuable as a boat anchor. Certainly there is a guy out there who would like a spare engine......what would he give for it? Very little.......hell, even if free most people would just pass on it. I recommend asking a grand, and taking ANY offer. Then what will you do when it needs a crate and delivery to a truck dock?

And I’m probably being optimistic. I'm sure you're right. Most Stutz automobiles that would use that engine probably already have a good engine. If they are going to be restored, they probably already have been. Fewer and fewer people are driving cars of that era. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtaber Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 This motor was never listed on here for sale and was thinking asking 500 thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbeach Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Where is it located? I could use it if it were close by. The cost to ship it will be more than it is worth plus the good parts are gone (intake & exhaust manifolds, carb, dist, starter, gen etc) what is left is the heavy and takes up space to store.

58L-Y8 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 It could be a good basis for a museum engine display unit to show early OHC engineering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbeach Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 @alsancle We also have a 1929 L6 project. Believe the engine listed here before was for a 1924 Speedway 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 These OHC Stutz sixes seem to be growing on trees. This one has most accessories on it. 7200 is never going to happen, but I guess it is impossible to know without trying. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stutz-1928-33-Straight-Six-Block-16140-RARE-/395056971847 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass is Best Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I have had several boat anchor engines over the years (Flathead ford, 1924 Buick, 1923 Chevrolet, etc...). I have cleaned them up and made stands for them. I would then paint the engine and make it presentable as a display. They make a great conversation piece. The funny thing is I have sold them to people visiting our collection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRA Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 This is a 1928 Stutz, model M, 7 passengers Touring Car, belongs to the State of Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil. It is used by the governors in some cerimonial occasions and parades. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the original engine. It is currently using a 1946 Chevrolet engine. The car was restored in 1990, along with a 1919 Ford model T, also owned by the State. The restoration was funded by the Ford dealers in that state. I hope some day this Stutz finds an original 8 cyl engine ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I know where there is a good running take out engine for the Stutz……….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
