Description

Racing through the ages comes the 1938 Stutz Bearcat Bugatti Replica, a magnificent red warrior that captures the spirit of those daring Monaco Grand Prix contenders piloted by legends like Louis Chiron and René Dreyfus. This Bearcat features a striking red exterior that's clean and classic with a quality finish that speaks volumes about its character. Both sides offer convenient steps for easy access, while the straight panels align with precision reminiscent of the handcrafted bodies that Ettore Bugatti himself would have approved. The bright work maintains a clean appearance throughout, giving this roadster its distinctive European racing aesthetic. Rolling on 15" wheels wrapped in 6.70-15 tires, this replica pulls off its vintage racing persona with authentic flair.

The black vinyl interior offers a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to motoring. Smith gauges mounted in a billet dash provide all vital information at a glance, while the simple vinyl-covered panels maintain the period-correct racing atmosphere. The seats present in nice condition, complemented by well-fitted carpets that show only minimal wear from limited use. Power steering adds a welcome modern touch to the driving dynamics without compromising the classic feel that makes this vehicle special. The minimalist cabin stays true to its racing heritage with function taking precedence over unnecessary luxury.

Mechanical prowess comes courtesy of a Vortec 350 V8 engine paired with a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, delivering ample power for spirited driving worthy of the Targa Florio. The engine bay shows a driver-quality presentation with neat wiring, good condition belts and hoses, and a newer radiator equipped with an electric fan for reliable cooling. The chassis incorporates coil spring/shock/sway bar front suspension and leaf springs with shocks in the rear. Stopping power comes from power disc brakes up front. A dual aftermarket exhaust system provides the appropriate soundtrack for this vintage-inspired roadster.
