Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1952 Cunningham C-3 is one of 14 chassis that were never bodied in period. Originally sold to Hilltop Trailer Sales, it remained without a body for decades before being discovered and restored with C-2R style coachwork. It features a replacement 331ci Chrysler engine, a T-10 4-speed manual transmission, and retains much of its original chassis.

Condition 

6

This car, while retaining its original chassis and some original parts, has undergone significant modifications, including a replacement engine, transmission, and newly fabricated bodywork. While the restoration was comprehensive, the non-original components and the fact that it was never bodied in period affect its overall condition.
