Event Coverage What a PERFECT day thanks to Richard Munz

thanks

 

I have talked to Richard a few times when he was out here on the west coast and will agree, He is one of the nicest guys to talk to. He drives his cars too !

 

Awesome brother, appreciate your super coverage of a rare glimpse into a sweet collection. ~sololobo~

 

I'm not a huge flattie fan but that Ardun gets the ol' ticker pumping.

 

You are welcome ANY time Mike. Heck, I thought you already are my best friend.

 

That is an amazing collection, thanks for sharing the pics.

 

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing with those of us who couldn't be there!

 

I met Richard out at Bonneville in 08. He invited us to come visit and like a dummy I haven't gone yet. It is now high on my to do list. Real high.

 

Thanks for the pics bob my dad was with you guys there,he called me when he got home to tell me all about munz and the cool stuff he has,wish I could of went with but that thing called a job got in the way

 

The red 32 was built in my shop and then Richard bought it (it is the reconstruction of the Chuck Price Roadster). Richard is one of the nicest guys I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Always look forward to seeing him when he's out here.

 

I had a hunch there would be folks on here that knew his cars

 

Great collection and living in a great city like Madison too.. We love it there.

 

Madison is 27 miles square surrounded by Reality!

 

Thanks for the great tour. Is that the Grey Baskerville '32?

 

I'll be doing with Flatjack. He was talking about it all day. Looks like a great tour....can't wait....Bumps

 

Hey Bob can Mike bring his "new" best friend with him from Middle TN? I have seen Richard's cars in Rodder Journal. He has my kind of taste

 

Thanks for taking the time to share, what a great shop and collection!

 

WTF? What am I? chopped liver???

 

hotroddon answered the mail on one of the (Chuck Price) red roadsters in the photo collection. Here's a little bit on the other. No it is not the Gray Baskerville '32. That car is in the care of Jim Shelton in Nevada. This particular red roadster was built by Richard and his buddy and racing partner Jim Busby. It's a "clone" of the Stanley Wanlass bronze sculpture standing nearby. The sculpture and the life-size car were on display together at the Grand National Roadster Show a couple of years ago and it was the hit of the show. It was a n outstanding presentation by an outstanding guy. I'm very fortunate to count Richard among my friends. There aren't many like him.

Wow x 1000 . That whas a fantastic collection ,very fun to see.
Thanks.Jan

 

Man O' man what a awesome collection. Those 32's just kill me. Saw the champagne roadster out at the AMBR show back in 07. That black chopped fenderless 5-window is just killer. Thanks for the pics.

 

And if you meant the first one, It was the car that influenced Paul Horning, the guy who originally built and owned what became known as the Gray Baskerville car.

 

it is great that hotroddon can add his knowledge of the history of Richard's very SIGNIFICANT cars

 

What a great opportunity for you to see so many historic cars and special speed parts, I would love to go there sometime!

Thanks for taking the time to share it with us!

 

that can be arranged. When will you be arriving?

 

Thanks to old guys (Somebody said he is 87 years old and found the Fountain of Youth in old cars) like Mr Munz maybe all of us can get the Zen of tinkering and collecting this stuff-- Keeps you outa the bars!!!!

 

nope, he is not that old. He is in his mid-70's. He just had a birthday in September.

on a side note...he and I just put together a deal. He got one of my favorite's...1955 Olds two door with column-shifted three speed manual. I got a very nice 1936 Chevy Master Town Sedan that is a very capable driver.

plus we are pals!

 

74 if I remember correctly

 

this is the nice 36 Chevy Master Town Sedan that we took in trade from Richard.
