Hey, I'm always in favor of unredeemable hulks being rescued from the crusher and lovingly restored to better than new. But I have to admit that some rides are a bit of a stretch, even for me. Like this Muntz Jet, whose auction ended recently on eBay. I realize it's one of only 49 known to exist, and that's a really neat flathead under all that rust, but seriously: nine THOUSAND dollars? Look at it: it's a sad, rotted mess. There's rust-through everywhere, and the driver's side panels don't even fit together anymore. Sure, there's some gnarly crash damage in the rear quarter on that side, but I'm more concerned by the subtly ominous body sag that suggests that the frame has rusted in two. The seller assures that it's "PRIMED TO BE RESTORED AS A MUSEUM SHOW PIECE." Really? I wonder how long it took them to get it "primed" for that. It looks more like it's primed to be resotred as a boat anchor.
I guess if it was one of the remaining Tuckers, I'd almost understand, but I still wouldn't bid. And I am in favor of this Muntz being saved—I just can't believe the amount of money people are competing against each other to pay for it. How about you? Is there any car for which you'd shell out this kind of coin, in this condition?
