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.
