This Grand Sport replica is a ridiculously fun Corvette that offers more enjoyment than you might have thought possible from a mid-year.
It takes the dramatic look of the 1963 Grand Sport race cars with their unmistakable fender flares, vented hood, special tail, and fixed headlights, and combines that with a great 355ci V8, 5-speed transmission, 4-wheel disc brakes, side exhaust, and more.
The result is a must-see, must-hear, must-drive car.
Completed in 2001 with 2,400 miles since, this example started life as a 1964 coupe and was subsequently converted by Mid America Industries to the form you see here.
The body is very well done and does not exhibit any stress cracks.

It includes two sets of clear headlight covers along with one set of white covers.
There are also two sets of black side pipes along with a set of heat shields and muffler inserts.
The 15 Torque Thrust style wheels wear new 255/60 tires in front and 275/60 in back.

Other features include a Painless wiring harness and a hidden cutoff switch.

The wipers, horn, lights, turn signals, door windows, and vent windows all work too.
Note it does not have a heater / defroster, radio, or parking brake.
The rear trunk compartment offers a small storage area and access to the fuel cell.
The car also comes with several folders of build information along with a listing of parts like radiator hoses, drive belt, filters, and more.

It is a solid, well-built vehicle that offers exhilarating performance and intoxicating sounds.
It is titled as a 1964 Chevrolet and has the original VIN and trim tags under the glove box.
While many C2 Corvettes are perceived as trailer queens or handled with kid gloves, this one quickly dispels that notion and will have you anxiously awaiting your next stretch of open road.
