The PDP-3 was an early computer from DEC, described as roughly a 36-bit version of the PDP-1. Supposedly, only one was ever built.
From Gordon Bell's book Computer Engineering - A DEC View of Hardware Systems Design: "DEC also never built a PDP-3, although one was designed on paper as a 36-bit machine. [...] In 1960 a customer (Scientific Engineering Institute, Waltham, Massachusetts) built a PDP-3. It was later dismantled and given to M.I.T.: as of 1974, it was up and running in Oregon."
