The dashboard was fully trimmed in wood which extended to the top of the doors.<\/p>\n<p>Using chassis 826.138.001167, the car had short chassis and a 2.8 liter-variant of the all-aluminum V6 engine.

It also toured the Concours at Alassio and Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo before becoming the personal car for Battista Pininfarina.<\/p>\n<p>Pininfarina SpA kept the 3C until 1972. At the time the car was painted silver and it was sold to the first owner, Dr. Richard Buckingham, for $4,200. With less than 10,000 miles on the car he showed it once at the 1989 Pebble Beach Concours d&#8217;Elegance. Later it was shipped to Japan for inclusion into the Matsuda Collection where it returned to the original pearl white color scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the original interior is retained including different door panels and seats for the driver and passenger. At the time, Pininfarina was experimenting with different designs for Lancia&#8217;s upcoming models.<\/p>\n<p>With just 12,000 miles on the odometer, Fantasy Junction sold the 3C to collector Mr. Corrado Lopresto who first displayed it at the 2011 Concorso Italiano.<\/p>\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">submitted by<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Richard Owen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Concept \/ Prototype Car<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">coachbuilder<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Pininfarina<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">production<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">engine<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">60\u00ba V6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">position<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Front, Longitudinal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">aspiration<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Natural<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">displacement<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">2458 cc \/ 150.00 in\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">f suspension<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Double Wishbones<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">r suspension<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">De Dion-Type Axle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1963 Lancia Flaminia 3C For the 1963 Turin Motor Show, Pininfarina prepared this one-of Lancia on their flagship Flaminia platform.
