Classic Car Overview

A one owner 1978 Stutz Blackhawk VI purchased new by Willie Mays who retained ownership until he passed away in 2024 at the age of 93. Only 16,000 miles. It was purchased from his estate by a friend of ours in 2025. This is the finest example of a Stutz from this era that Ive seen in the past 30 years. It was obviously a prized possession of its legendary original owner as he never sold the Stutz even though he stopped driving in 2005 due to Glaucoma. This beautiful example is as close as it gets to experiencing what it was like to drive a new Stutz Blackhawk back in the day when they were a favorite mode of transportation among some of the biggest celebrities in the world. The list of famous owners is long and includes Elvis Presley, Lucille Ball, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Muhammad Ali, Evel Knievel, Johnny Cash and many more. Many if not most of these cars have fallen into disrepair and the cost of a proper restoration would far exceed the cars value. Theres also a number of poorly restored examples that come up for sale from time to time. What rarely comes up is a pristine, well cared for, low mile example such as the Willie Mays Stutz offered here. The color is original to the car, it was repainted once. Its a life long California car with excellent original chrome and it retains its original Connolly leather upholstery, lambs wool carpet, Birds Eye Maple wood trim and faux fur trim lining the trunk compartment. The original owners manual is signed by Willie Mays. An autographed baseball, color photo and Willie Mays personalized SAYHEY8 California license plate are also included. $119,000.
