And of course there was only one car that could possibly wave the race flag for GM and that was the Chevy Corvette. Overnight a legend was born. Part race car and part muscle car only 5 1963 Corvette Grand Sports were build but what an



incredible combination of American muscle and European sportiness. The Corvette Grand Sport never really had a chance to prove itself as Chevrolet pulled the plug on the racing program almost right after it began but 5 legendary cars were built.



Today Superformance is the only company in the world that can build a Corvette outside of Chevrolet. Check out this exclusive TFLcar video as we get to know the remade Corvette Grand Sport.

With Corvette Racing in its DNA, the all-new 2017 Corvette Grand Sport is a pure expression of the car’s motorsports-bred pedigree. Like the 2015 Le Mans-winning Corvette C7.R GTE Pro race car, the new Grand Sport combines a lightweight architecture, a track-honed aerodynamics package, Michelin tires and a



naturally aspirated engine. The 2017 Corvette Grand Sport offers an estimated 1.05g in cornering capability – and up to 1.2g with the available Z07 package. Heritage-inspired design cues and exclusive features acknowledge the historic Grand Sport legacy, established in 1963 to take on the world’s best sports cars.



Only five were built before a corporate decision suspending direct motorsports involvement ended the project.

Lingenfelter Superformance Corvette Grand Sport - weighs only 2800 lbs. In 1962 Corvette chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov initiated a program to produce a lightweight version based on a prototype that mirrored the new 1963 Corvette.] Concerned about Ford and what they were doing with the Shelby Cobra, Duntov's



program included plans to build 125 Grand Sport Corvettes to make them eligible for international Grand Touring races. After the GM executives learned of the secret project, the program was stopped, and only five cars were built. All five cars have survived and are in private collections.

GM killed off the 1963 Corvette Grand Sport project, designed to beat Ford's Shelby Cobra on track. But Superformance builds a "continuation" model Grand Sport. That's this muscle time machine. It took a decade of legal wrangling with General Motors, obtaining the original molds and design documents, and finding an authentic Grand Sport body to use as a baseline.

Bill owns one of the five original lightweights, the #005 1963 Corvette Grand Sport and he gave a very informative talk about the car that he personally worked on in his days at Chevrolet Engineering.

Description

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this exceptional 1963 Corvette Grand Sport replica. This stunning Corvette comes in brilliant white and blue paint job complimented by a clean black interior. Powering this vehicle is a LS1 350 V8 motor mated to a stout 6-speed ZF6 manual transmission. This particular motor

produced a very respectable 400 hp when it was installed. This D and R Grand Sport replica was built professionally in 2007 and has been with the same owner since new. Features include 4-wheel power disc brakes,​ power steering as well as working heat and A/C. Only 5 C2 Grand Sports were ever built. Each is a highly

prized item. This extremely authentic replica has all the same style with added driveability. Don't miss your opportunity to be the envy of the road in this stunning Grand Sport replica. For more information please contact us today. The Corvette launched its 2nd generation with the birth of the Stingray with a complete redesign

barely resembling its predecessors. The Stingray was lighter,​ had independent suspension,​ and was aerodynamically tested. The only American cars that could produce similar speed were large,​ heavy Super Stock optioned Mopars and Super Duty Pontiacs. For the first time,​ the United States had mass produced a true all-

around sports car. To see over 80 photos of this car,​ including under carriage please visit our website www.grautogallery.com
