Roadster Chassis Num: 52M232   High bid of $85,000 at 2009 RM Auctions. (did not sell) This Muntz Jet is powered by a Lincoln Flathead V8 engine and mated to a Hydra-Matic transmission. It is believed that this car was stored in Mississippi for an extended period of time, from 1962 to 1979. The current owner undertook an extensive and total body-off restoration, including a rebuild of the motor, transmission and rear-end. The work took five years to complete at an expense of $175,000. It is painted in black with a black top and a red interior. There is even a Muntz eight-track car radio. In 2009, this Muntz Jet was offered for sale at the Sports & Classics of Monterey auction in Monterey, California presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $120,000-$160,000. Bidding reached $85,000 but was not enough to satisfy the car's reserve. The lot remained unsold. In 2010, this Muntz Jet was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook where it was estimated to sell for $80,000 - $110,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car was sold for the sum of $82,500 including buyer's premium. By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2010
