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.
