Looking for info on Duntov Motors
 

Think I narrowed my search for a Grand Sport down to Duntov. Their website looks good & they say they are licensed by GM.

Just looking for info on their reputation from people who dealt w them.
Thanks

GREAT AVATAR, it sort of tells the story......

Be advised that Mongoose Motorsports in Ravenna Ohio is also licensed by GM to build GS replicas. Only Mongoose and Duntov are licensed to do so. I have a Mongoose GS built back in 2012 and am very happy with it and the build with Mongoose. Great honest people to deal with. --- Ken

Be aware that the Duntov GS has had the front of the body re-shaped to their "droop-snoot" design; no GS ever looked like that. :thumbs:

Any idea why they did that? That drop nose GS is butt ugly, even if we are not talking about the butt.

Run!!!!!!!!

Aerodynamic improvement, less lift at high speeds.

:cheers:

Um...........................Cause they tend to FLY...............ya know:rofl:

Differential Dealings

I know your interested in the GS but I dealt with them on a differential - it had problems - and they fixed the problems.

Good people in my opinion

Keep in mind that being licensed by GM only means that GM gets a cut of the revenue, or a flat fee. it does not mean that the parts are accurate. If you have a problem with a liscensed part GM will not get involved. This is pretty standard across the industry, not just GM.

Porsche for instance gets $1,500 for a dash pad that doesn't fit. The same with Mustang parts. They're all just in it for the money. Licensing by GM does not mean they really give a sh*t about the part.

Oh My...................................... ....................................I concur:iagree:

Duntov himself liked the C3 aerodynamics better, calling the C2 "a bad airplane".

Before I bought my current project, I considered Mongoose. I called and spoke with the owner. He is a very "down to earth", and didnt really try to push his vehicle. As a matter of fact he wanted to ensure I understood how complicated building one of his cars could be....he suggested that I visit his shop first....If you can, I would do that....

Why?

I just want one for looks & racing, not so interested in it being exact clone of 60s car

Not related to Duntov but just to make sure you know all the possible options Superformance announced a Grand Sport replica in 2010 - their web page now lists it - looks amazing, GM is linked to their development as well. There are some dealers starting to say you can order one, here is their web page:
