That would go perfectly with the Eyesore Pimps theme.

$1995 is serious crack-pipe pricing there. It would be moderate crack pipe pricing if it hadn't obviously spent time on its roof.

Someone tried to kill it with fire... and was right to.

they'd probably take well under $1000 for it- they always price their cars way high and leave a lot of room to haggle. tell them you were gonna build it into a low-buck race car, and they'd probably give it to you as long as you put French Lake Auto Parts and French Lake Wrestling Association stickers on it..

I think I've actually seen one of those. Kind of reminds me of this, but even more extreme.

Awesome . So tacky and vulgar and over-the-top, that it's actually kinda cool.

It's professionally done tacky and over the top, so they're a bit better than your average kit car effort. IIRC, the later Stutzes were styled by Virgil Exner, same guy responsible for the Chrysler C300.

It has always bothered me that they used the name Stutz Bearcat II.

I love that Cadillac. Oh, dear God I want a really nice one for my DD just to make people look at me funny and wonder what I'm thinking. Can you imagine parking one in the "management" garage at work!

Oh, forgot. People already look at me funny and wonder what my car is doing parked in the "management garage" since I put all the stickers on for the Pro and Tour events.

But I still want the Caddy. How have I missed the existence of that thing all these years? It's the most wonderfully horrible thing ever!

I'd never seen the Bearcat, but I remember seeing a story about the Blackhawk when I was a kid. It's awesome, and kinda the same. Is it just the hard top version?

Nice pimpmobile. That 70 Chevelle wagon might find its way in my driveway.

I saw a car last week the same model as the one in the first post, shortened the same amount from the windshield back, and stock in the front, with a rag top. It was in much better shape though.
