The Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most storied cars in American automotive history, and the Grand Sport is perhaps the most alluded to chapters of that story. Way back in the day, Corvette’s Chief Engineer, Zora Arkus-Duntov made it his objective to produce a lightweight variant of the 1963 ‘Vette prototype, mainly in response to Ford and their Shelby Cobra. Duntov’s original intention was to build 125 Corvette Grand Sport editions for international touring races, but the project was nixed when the GM brass caught wind due to GM’s agreement to stay out of motorsports backed by manufacturers. Only five units would live to see the light of day, and they have lived on all these years in private car collections and have become the most valuable versions of Corvettes ever built.
Though it is heavily based on the standard entry-level Corvette, the Grand Sport receives some flashy upgrades that push it closer in style to the Z06. All of the car’s fenders are cut wider, with fiber-glass front fenders (not carbon fiber like the Z06) that are outfitted with conspicuous ‘Grand Sport’ badges. Also borrowed from the Z06 are the front splitter, hood scoop, tall rear lip spoiler, functional brake ducts, and additional cooling via side scoops.
