What's Up with Grand Sports?
It seems like people buying old Corvettes have divided into a few camps:
1. NCRS / Bloomington Gold type restoration 2. Hot Rod/Car Craft restoration - where it looks mostly right 3. Street Machine rebuild - very little stock 4. Grand Sports And the Grand Sports all seem to say the same - replicating those rare Grand Sports. But few do. Like this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT If he was replicating a Grand Sport, then why does it have a 388 stroker and a C4 suspension and a bunch of other things that definitely are not replicating the car? And in effect, all he has done is built a custom Corvette, and wants $75,000. And probably someone will buy it somewhere, even though no one wants a custom Corvette of any other type. Such as http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...atego ry=6168 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...atego ry=6168 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...atego ry=6168 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...atego ry=6168 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...atego ry=6168 |

Personally I prefer Corvettes that look basically correct but never did get upset with mild flares etc... BUT I would LOVE to have, say a,1962 that was set on a modern suspension and had a LS1 under the hood... Just my opinion... Bob Griffiths |
