Blakely produced several kit car models, the Bantam, Bearcat, and Bernardi.

The Bearcat is a street version of the Lotus 7, with working doors and a usable trunk. Dick Blakely started to offer Lotus 7-style kit cars, called the Bantam, in 1972 in Love Park, Illinois, and in 1975 began offering a more civilized version called the Bearcat.

A significant feature was that the fiberglass body and fenders used a PVC foam core sandwich type of construction that added considerably to overall strength and ruggedness of the Blakley car. It has Fiberglass body on a specially built frame of box steel tubing. Mustang II front suspension with rack and pinion steering. Ford differential, front disc brakes, rear drum.
