The Stutz Blackhawk is an American ultra-luxury car manufactured from 1971 through 1987. Other than the name it bears no resemblance to the original Blackhawk (1929-1930). The Stutz Motor Company was revived in August 1968 by New York banker James O'Donnell. He joined forces with retired Chrysler stylist Virgil Exner who designed the new Blackhawk. The production Blackhawk uses Pontiac Grand Prix running gear, Pontiac's 7.5 L V8 engine, and a GM TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. Later Blackhawks use Pontiac's 403 and 350. Also Ford, Chevrolet and Cadillac engines were used.

 By the time production ended in 1987 approximately 500 to 600 cars had been manufactured over seven generations.
