Corvettes on eBay: 1964 Grand Sport Replica


Only five 1963 Corvette Grand Sports were ever built.

While this replica currently up for sale on eBay isn’t the real thing, it might be a better choice for someone who wants a “daily driver” GS.

This car has a long pedigree behind it, starting with being the last D&D car built. It’s also been autographed by A.J. Foyt and the 2009 Compuware race team. You may have seen it as a Grand Sport Display car at the National Corvette Museum or at Hilton Head Concours d’elegance or in several enthusiast magazines.

“You cannot go out in this car without someone hanging out the window taking pictures of you,” the seller says in his listing.

Mechanically, this Corvette has a 4-inch tube chassis and uses 1994 Corvette glass-beaded and clear coated suspension. More importantly, under the hood lurks a 408 LS2 engine with eagle rod and crank with LS1 heads worked by the owner’s race engine builder that’s capable of pumping out 490 horsepower.

Inside, you’ll find an exact replica of the original Grand Sport interior, except for the vintage air that makes the car much more user-friendly on a daily basis.

Whoever buys the car will also get two sets of wheels, one with Goodyear GS-D3s and another with new race slicks that have just been used for show.

This trailer queen has been driven only 300 miles, and that’s one reason the seller wants it to go to someone who will be able to use it more.

As he put it: “Be the talk of your Corvette Club when you drive this to your next show.”

The seller also has a nice collection of Grand Sport memorabilia that can be added to the purchase price of the car.

“This is probably one of the nicest Grand Sport replicas ever built,” the seller says. “A lot of effort was put into making this car as nice as it is.”

With the real-deal Grand Sports being out of reach for the average buyer, this might be a good compromise if you love the look of the GS, especially since the seller has a reserve set but admits he is open to “REAL” offers, as he put it, and is ready to move on to a new project.

Right now, the bid is up to just $35,300 and the auction closes on Sunday afternoon at 5:42 PM ET..

By the way, only five of the original Grand Sports were built in 1963 for the purpose of winning FIA endurance races, but GM’s corporate ban on racing put a stop to the program before the initially planned 125 GSs were ever built.
