1928 Stutz BB Black Hawk Speedster The Legendary Ruger-Callaway DV32 TurboFew automobiles in existence represent the intersection of engineering, performance, and passion quite like this extraordinary 1928 Stutz BB Black Hawk Speedster. Known as the Ruger-Callaway DV32 Turbo, this one-of-one creation was commissioned by firearms industry icon William B. Ruger and engineered by the renowned team at Callaway Advanced Technology.Bill Ruger's fascination with Stutz automobiles began as a teenager when he first encountered a Black Hawk Speedster at the New York Auto Show. Captivated by its long hood, sleek proportions, and advanced engineering, Ruger never forgot the impact the car had on him. Decades later, he set out to explore the ultimate potential of the legendary Stutz DV32 engine, one of the most sophisticated powerplants of the prewar era.The original DV32, designed under the leadership of Stutz engineering genius Fred Moskovics, featured dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylindertechnology decades ahead of its time. Ruger believed that, with modern engineering and materials, the DV32's potential had never truly been realized.In 1993, Ruger enlisted renowned engineer Reeves Callaway to develop the ultimate version of the Stutz powerplant. After nearly three years of development, testing, and refinement, the result was nothing short of remarkable. The original 332 cubic-inch inline-eight was transformed with modern fuel injection, electronic engine management, forged internals, titanium connecting rods cast at Ruger's own foundry, and a Garrett turbocharger. The finished engine produced an astonishing 360 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque at 17 psi of boost, with early testing exceeding 440 horsepower before boost levels were reduced.The engineering details are extraordinary. The original block and cylinder head were retained and enhanced with modern components including forged aluminum pistons, stainless valves, Motec engine management, sequential fuel injection, Accel ignition, custom-fabricated stainless exhaust and intake systems, and extensive cooling upgrades. Power is delivered through a GM 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission, while upgraded brakes, power assist, and dual master cylinders ensure modern drivability.Finished in elegant two-tone gray over a striking red Connolly leather interior, the Black Hawk Speedster retains its original 1928 four-passenger body style that first inspired Ruger as a young man. The cabin features custom upholstery by master craftsman Johan Merkhofer, Recaro front seats, polished aluminum instrumentation, and a comprehensive suite of VDO gauges.Over $300,000 was invested in the development of this singular automobile, not including the value of the custom titanium components. The result is a prewar masterpiece capable of effortless highway speeds, modern reliability, and performance that rivals sports cars from generations later. It successfully completed the 1996 Copperstate 1000 and remains fully documented with engineering records, tuning specifications, and build history from Callaway.More than a collector car, the Ruger-Callaway Stutz DV32 is a rolling testament to innovation, vision, and uncompromising engineering. It stands as one of the most extensively developed and thoroughly engineered historic automobiles ever createda one-of-one machine that embodies the passion of Harry Stutz, Fred Moskovics, Bill Ruger, and Reeves Callaway.
