"Cuoyed by the success of his race team at the 1950 running of the Le Mans 24 hours, Briggs Cunningham turned to crafting his own sports/racing cars. A Chrysler 331 Hemi fitted with Zenith down-draft carburetors pushed 235 horsepower through a semi-auto transmission in the C-3. The hand-fashioned aluminum body took 9 weeks to build. Cunningham produced 18 Competition Continental Coupes for $11,422.50 each. A 1953 Corvette sold for $3,498. The museum's is one of seven C-3s built with an extended wheelbase and one with an original bench seat. With only 21,000 original miles, it is the finest remaining examples of a true American original."
