Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

365 320hp Cadillac ohv V8 with a two 2 barrel adapter mounting a pair of Stromberg 97s on a 4 barrel manifold. Automatic, dual spotlights, cassette stereo with 8 track, skirts, wire wheel covers, wide whitewalls. First owned by actress Gloria DeHaven. Quick, superficial restoration with body shop dust built up in remote places (and some not so remote.) Very good paint, interior and chrome. Sparkly eye candy, just dont look behind the curtain. California Assigned VIN. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Though visually appealing from a distance this Muntz displayed too many problems and left too many expensive questions unanswered. Last sold at RM Amelia 2010 for $66,000, the Muntz has inexplicably earned considerably more money here. This is a generous result for a shaky Muntz.
