About the 1963 Grand Sport:The mid-year Corvettes are beloved
vehicles for both their striking styling and thrilling V-8 engines.
Making a lightweight sports car with a powerful engine that makes
the right sounds is central to the Corvette mystique. The 1963
Corvette Grand Sport represents the pinnacle of this idea perhaps
making it the ultimate Corvette. You often hear the term racer for
the street but rarely is it true. The engine might make the
requisite power but creature comforts usually dictate that any
racer must be softened for the street. In the case of the Grand
Sport no such concessions were made. The primary goal of this
special model was all about weight savings to enhance speed. Steel
was swapped for lightweight aluminum in the metal frame birdcage
steering box and differential housing. Lightweight fiberglass body
panels were used and magnesium wheels replaced the usual steel
rollers. The result was startling. The Grand Sport weighed a mere
1900 pounds compared to the stock Corvette's 3250. With only five
1963 Grand Sports produced the values of these cars are now
stratospheric.About our car:Absolutely Pristine 1963 Corvette Grand
