Description:
This 1979 Blakely Bearcat, enhanced by Counts Kustoms in 2012, its fiberglass body sports a rich burgundy hue, complemented by black fenders - a striking two-tone effect. Every curve and angle of this unique roadster benefits from the high-quality paintwork. Wire wheels add a classic flair, while chrome mirrors and a steel front bumper blend style with purpose. The rear features a practical luggage rack, ideal for weekend adventures. Sitting on 185/70R13 tires, this Bearcat maintains a low, athletic stance. Custom touches abound, including a Counts Kustoms cross airbrushed on the deck lid and "Blakely Bearcat" airbrushed on the sides of the hood. From its custom color scheme to its distinctive details, this rare machine carves out its own identity on the road.
The interior of this Bearcat offers a blend of comfort and sportiness. Tan vinyl bucket seats with black piping provide a classic look and heated comfort. Black carpet contrasts nicely with the tan vinyl-wrapped doors, dash, and center armrest. A wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel adds a touch of vintage class. The passenger side houses an aftermarket head unit, ready to provide the soundtrack for your drives. Despite its kit car origins, the interior layout is functional and well-designed, offering a surprisingly refined experience for driver and passenger alike.
A Ford 2.3L inline-four engine powers this Bearcat, paired with a four-speed manual transmission for an engaging driving experience. The single two-barrel carburetor keeps things simple and effective. A single exhaust with an aftermarket muffler gives this Bearcat a distinctive, sporty sound. The 7.5-inch rear end efficiently puts power to the ground. With its independent front suspension and rear leaf springs with shocks, this Bearcat offers a balance of handling and ride quality. Disc brakes up front and drums in the rear provide reliable stopping power, completing the mechanical package of this unique roadster.
