Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

331 Chrysler Hemi with 4 Strombergs on a Cunningham log manifold, kidney bean Halibrand knockoff alloy wheels. Very clean and tidy after restoration in 2002. One family owned from new, first owner Russell Kleinginna, now has 32,256 miles. No racing history, always a street car. No chassis number plate, and the originality of this car has been compromised by its restoration.

Market commentary

Coulda, woulda, shoulda, the fact is it did get restored and that, plus the lack of a chassis plate and no racing history, did nothing to improve its marketability. All things considered a half million dollars is a reasonable enough offer, especially when a Cunningham C3 has never brought more than $100K.
