Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Represented as the original engine. Excellent chrome. Excellent paint. Carpets and upholstery are lightly worn and driver's side window molding is loose. Otherwise it's a gorgeous concours car top to bottom. The third of 19 C3 road cars, raced in period by Phil Stiles and spent many years in the Petersen Museum before being exhaustively restored by RM Auto Restoration some years ago and carefully preserved since.
Market commentary
The caliber of the restoration in its original colors and details as well as the period race history unique among C3s elevates this Cunningham to elite status. The race history should ease its entry into important events not accessible to other C3s and the new owner will, with continuing good care, never have to make excuses for its presentation. Even at the top of the estimate range it is a sound value for the money to its new owner.
