Allard Motor Co: K3
From Graces Guide
Note: This is a sub-section of Allard Motor Co
In 1952, Allard adapted the Palm Beach in a K3, an attempt to offer a more civilised variant of the J2 and J2X models seen at the track. Exported to America as a potential "Corvette slayer" Dodge dealers had been clamoring for, it featured one of the most powerful engines of its era, the 331 cu in (5,420 cc) Chrysler hemi engine, fitted with a pair of 4-barrel carburetors. Essentially a rebodied Palm Beach, it failed to find a niche in either market in spite of its performance. Today the exceptionally rare automobile can fetch the better part of US$250,000 at auction.
62 examples were built, of which 57 were delivered to the United States.
