Five ever built. Known simply as The Lightweight, the Grand Sports were created to win FIA endurance races, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, despite GM’s ban on racing. Duntov wanted the Grand Sports to face off against the seemingly unstoppable Shelby Cobras, among other GT-class cars and racing prototypes. That actually happened for a brief moment at Nassau Speed Week 1963. Three coupes were sent there to prove that Carroll Shelby’s Cobras were not invincible. Which they did. The Ferraris competing there went home embarrassed as well.
I do have 2 of these white #4 cars and 1 of the blue cars. Some day, I plan to modify 1 of the white ones to another livery.
