Here is another pic of Patti's skunk with a hard top on it. Hard tops could not be ordered on the 96 Grand Sport convertibles. Also note the added on rear flairs. It looks dang good.
When I sell my 87 I hope to keep my hard top just in case I find a GS vert.

Always wanted to see what a GS convert looked like with hardtop, I knew GM wouldnt do it because of the stripes Ron: you're going to have to raise you budget if your going for a GS vert ??? The Florida picture is awesome hard to ignore these cars they just have major eyeballs. Ike

All the cars in this thread are gorgous, but the vert with the hard top is my favorite!

OK! That is a great idea. How do you tell which one has the boy parts and which one has the girl parts though? Which one do you have to ply with champagne and jewelry?

Believe me, we've tried!

Thanks for the kudos, gang. It really is great fun to have his 'n hers Grand Sports.

Hers, of course, is the GS convertible. #707 is bone stock except for Corsa exhaust and the aforementioned removable hardtop. We took the flares off but may put them back on soon.

Mine is the GS coupe #633 (aka, the WildThing) which is anything but stock. It now sports a 396 ci LT4 built by Norris Motorsports w/4.10 gears, long tubes, and all the other goodies. This car is so much fun to drive, I sold my Z06 convertible last year in order to buy this same car back again! Go figger, eh?

And if you think this is cool, join us at Corvettes at Carlisle next August for our big 10th Anniversary Bash where we plan to have 96 (yeh, NINETY SIX) 1996 Grand Sports all in a row! It's gonna be a hoot. We also hope to have a big GS showing at the NCM Gathering in Bowling Green next May. Come join us!
