Vehicle Description
1963 Superperformance Corvette Grand Sport
In late 1962 Chevrolet chief engineer Zora Arkus Duntov set out to
build a production run of 125 purpose built Corvette racecars with
the ultimate goal of winning the GT class at the 24 Hours of
LeMans. Inside Duntov's shop, the project was known as the
LightWeight. As they neared completion, Chevrolet marketing
christened the cars Grand Sports. After a pilot run of five cars,
GM brass cancelled the project and ordered the cars destroyed.
General Motors gave its full support for GM-Licensed replicas to be
built using the original Grand sport molds and design blueprints to
bear Corvette Grand Sport name. It's not a kit car, it's a
factory-authorized continuation of the real deal with modern
technology. The Superformance Corvette Grand Sports start with the
original molds however have tighter tolerances to ensure less
waves, tighter door and hood gaps. The process starts in Port
Elizabeth, South Africa.
This Grand Sport was supplied by Gulf Coast Motorworks and has a
lot of options. Options include Custom Colour PPG paint with
circular number cutouts, pin stripes, stainless steel side pipes.
Additional equipment includes Power steering, power windows, Air
Conditioning, painted center wheels, original style Grand Sport
style wheels. Vehicle is powered by Chevrolet 6.2L LSA Crate engine
married to 6-speed Super Magnum Manual Transmission. Interior has
leather seats, dash and door panels.
