I wonder if maybe he was testing the market with plans to produce them if demand became high enough?
I think it's awesome to have been able to speak to Madman Muntz! I read about a wild car he made called the Muntz Jet. I think it was mostly sold to movie stars and wealthy people. It had a Hemi that may have been super-charged!
