After producing two more prototype LightWeights, in January 2009 GM awarded an exclusive licensing agreement to Duntov to continue production of the authentic 1963 Corvette ® Grand Sport, and to begin production of a street version to be offered as a roller.
The Duntov LightWeight differed in shape from the authentic Corvette Grand Sport primarily in the leading edge of the front of the body. For the authentic Grand Sport, Duntov acquired the molds, blueprints and patterns that were developed during the restoration of Grand Sport # 002, considered to be the most original of the original Grand Sports. |
