Default Tribute and GS-1963 Together for the Very First Time

"Tribute" is my 2017 Grand Sport which is a tribute to the 1963 Grand Sport #001. When I had an opportunity to purchase GS-1963 (complete with a NOS L88 engine), I couldn't pass it up. This weekend marks their first appearance together and it's been a blast!

Default Amazing...

Nice pics Jeremy. I know you drive your tribute car. Just curious, how many miles do you have on it now? It is really a stunning piece of road art.

The engine bay of that GS is beautiful. Love me some old school, natural breathing motors. I see Bondurant's signature on the dash. Who else is in there?

Lucky guy. Having either one of these stunning cars would be awesome, but to have both? You did a great job on "Tribute" and I'm happy to see that you enjoy driving her too. Do you plan to track or drive GS much?

Absolutely love the look of BOTH cars. With the signatures of both legends, Bob Bondurant and Dick Guldstrand, I can't recall where/what race, but I saw them together at least a year or less before DG passed away in '15. Quite the thrill; they were speaking at the Chevy tent. Enjoy both cars!

Thanks for the pictures. You have some gorgeous Corvettes. I thought I understood the details and time and money invested in your C7 "Tribute Corvette" by looking at these pictures. I think both of you for making a super video of your "Tribute Corvette" as I began to really understand the depth of your design and thinking. I really like how you made several small detail improvements without creating an over powering design.

I thank both of you for sharing this "Tribute Corvette" on this forum. It made my day!
