Vehicle Description
Corvette Grand Sport CGS0031 is one of the most exclusive sports
cars on the road, and the story behind the limited series of
Chevrolet road racers is simply incredible.
In late 1962, Chevrolet chief engineer Zora Arkus Duntov planned to
build a production run of 125 purpose-built Corvette racecars to
compete in the GT class at Le Mans. The Chevrolet marketing
department christened the sports car the "Grand Sport."
After a test run of just five cars, GM cancelled the project and
ordered them destroyed. Duntov hid the first two while Texans Alan
Sevadjian, Delmo Johnson and Jim Hall purchased the other three.
Johnson piloted a Grand Sport in the 1965 Sebring race.
You can own an authentic continuation version authorized and
approved by GM of the spectacular Grand Sport racecar.
Superformance CGS0031 is painted in a brilliant blue with period
correct white pinstripes and #2 roundels, giving the sports car a
high level of authenticity. Powered by a Chevy LS9 small block
churning out 635HP, the V8 engine is mated to a Tremec T56 6-speed
transmission. The LS9 features a track ready drysump setup along
with a custom evap breather system. The car features a gorgeous
black leather touring interior with air conditioning, power door
locks, tilt steering wheel and power windows. Other options include
18 and 17 inch wheels Nitto tires and stainless steel side pipes
with custom ceramic coated headers. An additional set of White
headlight covers are also provided.
CGS0031 is titled as a 1963 Chevrolet in Florida. With only 1,467,
it is available for immediate pickup in South Florida or delivery
at only $299,950.
