The Car was purchased by me in 2006 from Mr Richard Mann of Ohio USA, largely unrestored but complete engine, chassis, springs, steering, axels and wheels.
It also came with a semi finished replica water tank and body (measurements taken from the rotted one Richard had with it. (sadly he burnt the original and hadn’t any photographs- I guess they did that in the 1970’s) I purchased a boiler from Bourdon boiler works in the US (17½ inch wire wound) and built the seats, upholstery, operating mechanisms, steam, water and fuel controls and pipework. I also built the burner, a Stan Otway design incorporating a superheater. I’ve also fitted a Maddison Kip positive displacement oiler. The car is road registered (concessional) here in WA and fires well. I run it on 98 octane petrol at 50 psi and the boiler at 200psi. The safety is set at 220psi.

The car is as original as I can make it, although I have fitted a reversing camera arrangement (removable) to keep an eye on the gauge glass (as its under the rear seat whilst the driver is at the front seat- a design flaw I’d suggest.)

The photos show the general arrangement and I am happy to provide further details as requested.

I am asking $80,000.00 AUD and will assist with transport and shipping.

Robert Nydam’s 1911 Stanley Model 70 for sale. It is an original, engine #6164, a duplicate of Howard (Dewey) Johnson’s steamer, the only other original 1911 model 70 known to exist.

It has a history dating back to opera star of the 40’s and 50’s, James Melton collection. We also have the original cracked headlight from Melton’s era, which was depicted in a Lil’Abner cartoon. It was sold with his collection at the IRS auction upon Melton’s death to Winthrope Rockefeller and placed on display in his museum in Petit-Jean Mountain, Arkansas. The Stanley was made available and was purchased by dad and his friend, Marvin Young, dad having taken full possession in 1972. He did a full restoration, added hydraulic brakes in the 1990’s, and, as he was a touring enthusiast, used sealed and modern bearings where ever possible. The car is presently located in Chicago, Illinois.

Our family spent decades and hundreds of thousand of miles in what dad called “the greatest motoring pleasure of my life.” The Stanley was the measure of my growth, as we toured in summers and missed but 1 Eastern Steam Car Tour in our decades of steaming. It is with great sorrow we lost dad this February, oddly a day after Tom Marshall. Think Tom asked dad for some assistance firing up a Stanley in heaven!

We know auctions are perhaps the greatest draw, but would prefer to find an enthusiast to run dads car and enjoy the unique driving thrill as he so did. It would be a shame for it to end up in a museum, as is such a great running Stanley. As we lose great Steam enthusiasts of eras past, there seems to always be a new generation to carry on. Attached are a few photos of dads car, we have much paperwork, extra parts, an Ole’ Vikre original prodigious prodder (dad was so proud to have, and Ole and “uncle” to us as kids,)- it seemed proper it stay with the car!
