Seventy-one was the first production year and generation of the
Blackhawk. The hand-built car was marketed as pure luxury and was
initially listed at $22,500. That'd be approximately $130,000 these
days. The car, which was fitted with a Pontiac's 7.5-liter V8 and a GM
TH400 3-speed automatic, took about 1,500 hours to build. Barry White
even had one of these, complete with shag in the trunk.
