Equipment
RHD. 361/80hp T-head four, 3-speed, black wire wheels, suicide front doors, spotlight, Boyce MotoMeter, woodrim steering wheel, dash clock, dual rear-mounted spares.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Old paint. Aged brightwork, particularly around the windshield. Dry, cracking leather. Tidy but aged underneath. Needs nothing obvious to enjoy as-is, or could be restored somewhat easily for show duty. It's hard not to like a car with a name like Bulldog.
Market commentary
Neither is it hard not to like a 4-seat touring car with the drivetrain and underpinnings of the Stutz Bearcat, which is what this is. I've driven a Bulldog, and it is exhilarating with plenty of power, even more torque and sprightly performance. This Bulldog has a long history, being sold from the Short Collection by Bonhams in the U.K. in 2011 for $79,560, then by Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2013 for $126,500 and RM at Amelia in 2015 for $104,500. Its older restored condition is now aged but this Stutz bought for any number reasonably between its high bid here of $65,000 and the low estimate of $90,000 would be a joy and constant source of satisfaction.
