1922 Stutz Series K Bearcat

This 1922 Stutz Series K DH Bearcat was discovered by Elbert 'Val' Valentine in the early 1970s. He embarked upon a nut-and-bolt restoration which would consume three decades. The slow progress was due to his other restoration projects, which included a 1937 Mercedes Benz 540 K Cabriolet, a 1922 Marmon Speedster, and a 1923 Stutz Bearcat.

The next owner purchased this Bearcat around 2003 in about 70 percent completed condition. The new owner would finish the project which, at the time, was about 70 percent complete. After the work was finished, the owner completed two vintage car tours and accumulated a little over 600 miles before selling the car in 2016. Currently, the car has 751 miles on its odometer.

This Stutz is finished in black and has a folding hardtop, brown leather interior, Houk 'Quik-Change' painted wire wheels, dual headlamps, and a driver-side mounted spot lamp.
