Years ago, mid '80s, I went to the Bloomington Corvette meet. Mid America, there were two named almost the same, showed their round tube chassis for C2 Corvette Grand Sport and offered the parts to build the Grand Sport replica. This was way before Mongoose and Superformance offered their replicas. The theory was much like FFR and the "donor" builds.

I'd build a Grand Sport if I wasn't so far down the Cobra path. I've seen the Superformance, Mongoose and one of unknown heritage at Bloomington in St. Charles, IL. Like the various Cobra replicas, each had their good and bad points.

I'm really a Corvette guy in disguise, had a '67, '64 & '69 a long time ago.
