  The Stutz Club News & Information
In 1927 the 8 cylinder SOHC Stutz engine was two years old and Shultz developed his car with independent suspension and won the event.
The rear axle uses an 8” crown wheel and pinion and the original Stutz half axles together with original Stutz brakes, backplates, drums etc. The brake and clutch pedals are of original manufacture fitted to the original Bell housing but we have incorporated dual master cylinders while operating the front and the rear brakes.
It is unconceivable that a competition orientated manufacturer such as Stutz would not give wholehearted support particularly to the special building talents of Shultz since his success using Stutz manufacturers products would be and was of certain significant advertising importance in promoting the Stutz image and brand.

The Stutz body is entirely made by hand in Italy, the coachwork by Padane is beautiful but lacked the proper placement of drain holes.
As a result the Stutz still had solid floors and frame but the lower fenders, rocker panels and quarters and door bottoms had rust holes you could put your fist through.
The guys had to employ old school metal working techniques to repair the compound curves on the Stutz’ body work, so much so that some of the still photos we took at Oaktown look remarkably like photos taken at the Padane factory over thirty five years ago.

 1928 Stutz Blackhawk Special Replica - AutoWeek
Turner Woodard, the owner of the historic Stutz building in Indianapolis, felt compelled to add to his collection a replica of the famous Stutz Blackhawk Special, because the story of its pilot, Frank Lockhart, is filled with a Hollywood screenplay’s worth of triumph and tragedy.
Stutz yearned for a return to the limelight and wanted to use Lockhart’s now-famous name, his brilliant self-taught engineering ability and fearless driving style to head up a land-speed program.
With power from a 181-cubic-inch sixteen-cylinder, the engine was much smaller compared with most motors used to propel record-chasing vehicles, but Lockhart and the Stutz team were confident their design was better than the rest.
