History of the Corvette Grand Sport: In late 1962 Chevrolet chief engineer, Zora Arkus Duntov set out to build a production run of 125 purpose-built Corvette racecars with the ultimate goal of winning the GT class at the 24 Hours of LeMans. Inside Duntov’s shop, the project was known as the LightWeight. As they neared completion, Chevrolet marketing christened the cars' Grand Sports. After a pilot run of five cars, GM brass canceled the project and ordered the cars destroyed. Zora put away the first two cars', and sent serial #’s 003, 004 & 005 to John Mecom of Houston, Texas. John sold the three cars to Texans Alan Sevadjian, Delmo Johnson, and Jim Hall respectively.
