1966 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
This marvelous 1966 Corvette Grand Sport was driven by "Mr. Chevrolet" Dick Guldstrand at Sebring. A stunning vision of a sports car, this vehicle was available for viewing and photographs at the Bloomington Gold Show last month.

Stunning from all directions, it is no surprise that the Sunoco Blue racer was a big winner for the newly formed Roger Penske Racing Team. Guldstrand went on to many other victories and accomplishments, including veneration in the National Corvette Museum Hall of Fame.

I don't believe that is one of the original GS's,
Modern interior and guages, modern wheels. If it was one of the originals it would be stripped for racing, wouldn't it?
It is still a pretty car.
Back in 2000, some friends and I were at Carlisle and then went to BG for the Labor day celebrations at the Museum. We got to help set up the displays by moving around the cars such as the 67 L88's, one of the GS's, Sledgehammer, etc, etc, etc....
We got to sit in most of them, Stinkin hot but worth it
