12 Tail Lights
What is the grandsport with 12 tail lights? When I was a young kid I saw one of those in my neighboorhood in houston driving around. The guy around the corner must have owned it, he has about 50-100 vettes. I just saw a pic of it again in a thread today, and thought "I've seen that before"

Have any of you seen the video tape called America's Fastest Cars? It has Detleff Stevenson and Dick Guldstrand on it talking about the GS-90(amongst a few others),which is painted the same or simular to a grandsport. Id never seen they did a convertible too, its got the same body design as the GS-90. Looks like it would be hard to see much in the rearview mirrors!!

Yeah...my neighboor had that blue coupe when I was growing up. I think their name was Lebay or something like that, and they were in magazines a couple times for the collection. Thnx guys...I always wondered what that one was.

Maybe I need to see it up close and maybe take a test drive in it to get a good honest feel for it and then post my opinions
