Author Topic: There really were 6 original Grand Sports! SS_CarGuy 2nd Gear Member # 2065 posted                    If you get Autoweek on a regular basis, you may have been following this story. Up until recently, the general opinion was that there were only 5 Corvette Grand Sports (all of which are in the hands of collectors) even though rumors of a sixth would surface from time to time. Well Autoweek lit the fuse.......so to speak.......and pursued this issue. In a recent story they pretty much concluded that there indeed was a sixth Grand Sport but it had been destroyed. Here is a link to the article.

I'm sure Mr. Settlemire can attest to GM's appetite for destroying special cars for legal reasons. -------------------- Building a 1963 Grand Sport Corvette Replica... Still love Camaros.
