1959 Bocar Stiletto
This is a very rare and truly historical
automobile for American motorsports.
Only three of these are thought to have been built. This is one of the two survivors and the only supercharged Stiletto. This ex-Bob Carnes "team" car was built to compete against
the Scarabs. Carnes raced this Stiletto at Daytona, Pikes Peak (in the snow!)
and even drag raced it. After Carnes, the Stiletto was raced by Bob Spooner
(who ran the Purple People Eater Corvette) including competing at the 1963 USRRC race
at Road America. The Stiletto retains its 1963 USRRC livery to this day..
Everything about this car is a work of art. The long flowing hand molded fiberglass
body to the hand painted numbers (even the Stiletto logo on the front).
The Bocar Stiletto recently went through
some major safety modifications and upgrades. The suspension,
fuel tank, and engine were all updated as well as the addition
of a roll cage.
