Vehicle 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 Rene 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.
