This Stutz Bearcat was manufactured by Stutz Bearcat Distributing of Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1972, and it features fiberglass speedster bodywork over a rear-wheel-drive International Harvester Scout 800A chassis. The car is finished in yellow with black pinstriping, and power comes from a 196ci inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes four-wheel drum brakes, 19″ wheels, a monocle windshield, running boards, bucket seats trimmed in brown quilted vinyl, and a tan carpet. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. This Bearcat was purchased by the selling dealer in 2024, and it is now offered in Lauderhill, Florida, with an Oklahoma title.
Stutz Bearcat Distributing was founded in the late 1960s by Tulsa, Oklahoma-area businessman and Oklahoma State Representative Howard D. Williams. The car featured a Scout 800A 4×2 chassis, powertrain, and running gear sourced from International Harvester, while the fiberglass bodywork was produced in Thayer, Kansas. Approximately 12 examples were built before production ended in the 1970s. This example is finished in yellow and features electric headlights and taillights, turn signals, a brass Stutz-branded radiator surround, a thermometer radiator cap, running boards, a monocle windshield, a 10-gallon fuel tank mounted behind the seats, and a rear storage trunk.
The multi-spoke wheels feature brass Stutz-branded hubcaps, and they are mounted with 4.75/5.00/5.25/5.50–19 Garfield whitewall bias-ply tires. A matching spare wheel is mounted out back. The car rides on a Scout 800A chassis with a 100″ wheelbase and semi-elliptical leaf springs at all four corners. Stopping power is provided by hydraulic drums all around.
The left-hand-drive cockpit features bucket seats trimmed in brown tufted vinyl, while a tan carpet with a brass driver-side heel pad is also fitted.
The gold-painted four-spoke steering wheel features a vinyl wrap and an International Harvester horn button, and it fronts a 100-mph speedometer as well as Stewart-Warner gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles.
The 196ci International Harvester Comanche inline-four features a Holley carburetor, and it was factory-rated at 111 horsepower. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
