Finding a 30 year old car that is all original and in decent shape is a challenge, but finding a 94 year old car in original condition is nearly unheard of! It’s absolutely incredible to think that this 1923 Stutz Speedway 4 Touring is almost exactly the same today as it was all those years ago! It has some interesting history, having spent 40 year in one of A.K. Miller’s sheds in Vermont. It then traveled to a collection in Florida, where it spent another 13 years in storage. From there, it ended up in the Black Hawk Museum for several years. It has spent the last few years in Oregon, but is now up for grabs here on eBay.

Stutz built some amazing cars, especially for the times. It’s 365 cui inline 4 was producing an impressive 88 horsepower, for comparison the Model T’s 4 cylinder was barely generating 20 horsepower and Packard’s big V12 topped out at 90 horsepower. While it’s a fairly large 4 cylinder, the power really comes from the T-head with its 16 valves and twin ignition system. The seller provides a video of the engine running and they show the dual distributors, it’s really a fascinating system, so be sure to check it out!

The interior isn’t perfect, but considering its age, it’s surprisingly intact. There are some rips and missing pieces of leather and the top is missing it’s rear window. These issues could all be addressed, but personally, I’d leave it alone. Like they say, they are only original once and I highly doubt you will ever come across another ’23 Stutz Speedway that is all original.

While it isn’t a Bearcat, this Speedway sure would be amazing to have! The seller claims it can do 80 miles per hour, but I would be terrified to even come close to that kind of speed given the rear wheel only mechanical brakes. If it had better brakes, it would actually be an amazing car to take on touring rallies and long distance drives. If you are brave, those type of events might still be an option and if left as it, I could see this car being invited to attend Pebble Beach for the preservation class! I doubt it will go cheap, but it will likely be far more affordable than any original Duesenberg ever would.
