While every generation of GM's halo car has a strong argument for
which one is best, the C2 is always in contention. Taking things a
step further, arguably the best and most exciting version of the
second-generation Corvette was the remarkable Grand Sport. That is
why this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Tribute had many of us
stop dead in our tracks to appreciate this unique and rare ride.
Sporting a custom Grand Sport nose, headlight, grille, front
fenders, hood, and even a custom red powder-coated frame, this
head-turning machine has been fully repainted in Riverside Red,
complete with a single center white racing stripe, guaranteeing
this car will be the center of attention anywhere it goes.
Inside, we find a fully restored red leather interior that features
even more custom parts. A chrome power-assisted wheel sits atop a
custom tilt steering column, while a custom dash trim is home to a
custom AutoMeter gauge cluster. A custom air conditioning control
panel blow cool air through, you guessed it, custom AC outlets. A
dash-mounted Audiovox AM/FM/CD head unit powers a set of concealed
speakers, while the custom sound insulation makes it even easier to
enjoy.
Under that aggressive, louvered, front-hinged hood, we find a
highly modified naturally aspirated 350 cubic-inch V-8 engine.
Beginning with a Vortec block, this small block gets aluminum
heads, a GM aluminum intake manifold, a single four-barrel Demon
carburetor, an HEI ignition, an aluminum radiator, an electric fan,
and long-tube headers feeding into those glorious-sounding side
pipes. That power is routed through a Tremec TKO five-speed manual
transmission before being sent out to the rear wheels.

For the first time in Corvette history, the C2 debuted with a fully
independent suspension. This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
Tribute takes that sentiment and adds a custom front and rear
suspension, A-arms, front sway bar, and adjustable coilovers at all
four corners. A custom rack-and-pinion steering setup, along with
four-wheel power disc brakes featuring vented front and rear discs,
completes the performance package, ensuring this Grand Sport
Tribute can live up to its namesake -stopping, going, and turning.
If you were not able to get your hands on one of the five original
Grand Sports made, then this is your chance to find out why so many
believe this iteration of the Corvette may just be the best one
yet. Don't wait, call today!
