Roadster Chassis Num: 8021   This Bearcat was purchased at auction in 1966 from the A.K. Miller collection. it was a prized part of the collection and is rumored to have been A.K. Millers favorite. Cosmetically, it remains unchanged since its acquisition. Many Automotive historians and Stutz experts regard this to be one of the most complete and original Bearcats in existence. Inspired by an Indy sports car racer built by Stutz in 1911, this version Bearcat was produced from 1914 through 1917. It is powered by a 6,388 cubic-inch, four-cylinder engine. It was a lightweight at just 4,500 pounds and had a 120-inch wheelbase. It also utilized an underslung design that allowed it to be constructed lower than most vehicles. In 1915, Edward George 'Cannonball' Baker drove a Bearcat from San Diego to New York in 11 days 7 hours and 15 minutes to break the previous record.
