    Did any of you guys get pics of the 32 cabriolet that was under the pile? I could see that there was a car under there, but I just wasn't willing to tunnel in.

    The Muntz is a way cool car..started out as a Kurtis-Kraft Sport of which 36 were built..Then Muntz bought the company, most were powered by the 331 OHV Cadillac V/8 or the Lincoln Flathead V/8..touted as "Americas First personal luxury sportscar" I still have an old Muntz stereo, the one with the little flipper switch from 4 to 8 track stereo...my book says that 49 of these cars survive out of 394 built approx. (it says that Earl "The Madman" lost track of how many he actually built)...the last version had fiberglas fenders...

    I heard down at the Turkey Run you had picked up a Muntz. It is on my top 5 list of all time favorite cars, a 1950 Muntz. You are very lucky!

    A local guy restored a Kurtis for a guy for the past two years. He had to literally hand make the trim and then have it all chromed. He did an absolutely amazing job. I'm sure he would be happy to talk to you when you are ready.

    Here is the post about it here on the HAMB:

    As for the pics of the Muntz at the Petersen, are they recent? Back in March both Muntz Jets they had in the basement were in serious need of repair. I hope they are working on them. I LOVE these cars!
     
  23. DONE! :D

    The auction and of course a pic fo the Muntz made Old CArs Weekly. Will you sign it for me Clark??
     
  25. Congrats, Clark...Muntz' are cool ass cars. I didn't know about the auction and it's prolly a good thing. I'm selling off stuff instead of buying stuff right now but a HAMBers reunion would have been great to attend.
    Nice goin on the Deuces, Aaron....and get a fuckin shave!
    Naaaaa, it looks good on ya. I grow my stuff out every fall and shave it off most springtimes.

    Man, that's a heck of a project to take on, but had I been in your place, I would have bought the darn thing, too! Here's a link to my photos from the Petersen Muntz event:

    No Clark, I'm jealous. Jealous that you have the car instead of me and you have the ability to make it look like something when you are finished.

    NoBody....I'm going to have to pay a lot more attention at those metal meets to get it done. The hood is pretty far gone and even though they made glass hoods for them I'd like to do steel again.
