Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

OHV Lincoln V8, 2 bbl carb, automatic, dual remote spotlights, Motorola pushbutton radio. An older cosmetic restoration that is let down by a poorly presented repaint over old chips and with driblets under the front of the hood. Good interior and top, elaborately chrome paneled underhood, drivers door drops and gaps taper, old undercoat on the chassis. Makes a handsome first impression but doesnt hold up under closer inspection.

Market commentary

This Muntz isnt improved from when it was reported sold at RMs Boca Raton auction in 2003 for $68,900. It was expensive for its condition then and the general market hasnt progressed enough to bring it back to the surface. Its time to take the loss and move on. Anything over $45,000 is a lot for this Muntz and hauling it around from auction to auction isnt going to enhance its value.
