The Acme Real Art Replicas 1:18 Scale #3 Cunningham 1960 Chevrolet Corvette - 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans Class Champion. The Cunningham team bought three 1960 Corvettes from Don Allen Chevrolet, each was optioned to the gills with every performance tweak available including a 290 hp fuel-injected V8, quick-ratio steering, heavy-duty sintered-metallic brake linings, heavy-duty suspension, a close-ratio four-speed transmission, a Positraction limited-slip differential, a radio delete, and a temperature-controlled radiator fan.
Cunningham would finalize the effort by picking some of the best drivers of the time to pilot his cars. He and Bill Kimberley would drive the #1 Corvette, Dick Thompson and Fred Windridge would be in the #2 Corvette and John Fitch and Bob Grossman would handle the #3 Corvette. The #1 and #2 Corvettes would be forced to retire during the race, but the #3 Corvette would forge on, overcoming some fantastic obstacles thanks to the amazing crew that Cunningham had assembled. When the checkered flag waived, the #3 Corvette crossed the finish line as the CLASS CHAMPION while finishing 8th overall!
