Any body know for sure the first year that the CORVETTE GRAND SPORT was? I thought it was 2010.otfl

That would be 1963. Then in 1996, then again in 2010.

For the most recent rendition of the GS, 2010 would be the first year. We took delivery of our's in August 2010.

Really? The 1963's Corvette was in Grand Sport racing but was never a model of Corvette. As far as I know there was only the Sting Ray.

Back in the early 60s there was no series called "Grand Sport Racing".

There were five Corvette Grand Sports built by Chevrolet factory race cars. They where a specific model of Corvette.

The original intent was to build 125 of the cars. Some of them would be Chevrolet-backed race cars. The rest would be sold to racers and consumers. The program was killed by GM upper management because of the politically correct "racing ban" of that period.

Google will tell all on the subject of Grand Sport racing and Grand Sport rally on the 1963 Corvettes.

I think is Hib is right. It was a specific model of Corvette. Looked like (basically) the rest of the StingRays, but was scaled down, tube frames, exotic engines (planned, but never carried out).
