In our last entry in the Stutz saga, we covered the final few years of the Blackhawk that originated in 1971. Through various trim transformations and minor updates, the '71 lived all the way through the 1979 model year. That final year it was also transformed into the very rare Bearcat targa convertible. But the winds of change were blowing: Detroit downsizing was already well underway, and Stutz was out of 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix platforms to use. The incredibly expensive Blackhawk sold roughly 350 examples in its first generation.Because of domestic market downsizing, the contemporary G-body Grand Prix of 1980 wasn't large enough for Blackhawk purposes. Instead Stutz turned to the B-body platform, and specifically the Pontiac Bonneville's two-door variant. And though it was marketed as a coupe by GM, the roofline was so formal your author would file it as two-door sedan.
