About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Small paint chip at the front of the hood. Front bumper fit is erratic. Good paint and chrome. Uneven door gaps. Fender skirts fit unevenly. Very good quality paint and chrome. Excellent top. Excellent interior. Two long cracks in he right side of the windshield. Shown at Amelia Island in 2014. The flaws are significant, but the quality of the restoration is high.

Market commentary

The quality of panel fits on this Muntz is probably best described as 'factory'; the original assembly quality was never very high. Guaranteed to start a conversation that will quickly focus on the car's promoter, Earl 'Mad Man' Muntz, a character in the same vein as Preston Tucker and Powel Crosley. It is a little expensive, but no more than can be supported by the quality of the restoration.
