Default Help find Mark's car a good home!

It is really sad to even think of Mark selling his Camaro, but he insists it has to go, for his new automotive dream.

I know first hand that this car is phenominal, inside, outside, looks performance and everything. No short cuts were take to achive the goals with the car.

So in our huge LS1 Tech neighborhood, put out the word!

I hate to see it go, I have a ton personally invested (blood and sweat) in this car too.

Grand Sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE those orig GSs. They're so damn amazing. Hopefully one day, i can build a GS clone. I had a vid of a GM rep that had one of the orig ones w/ the 377. He started it up, and it was just an awe inspiring sound.

And Steve, we all cant have cars as kickass as you, altho we inspire to be just as bling-a-licious as you. :p

Yes, a helluva car! It was owned by Bruce Poor of Nantucket Island. I hear he has a large collection of cars.

Somebody buy my car so I can get started!!!

I can appreciate the rarity of the original Grand Sports, but I think they are kinda tacky looking. Looks too "JC Whitney" for me

Get a regular 60s vette and drop a blown LS1 in it, slap on some HREs and have a PIMP ride

Sorry, can't agree with you on that one Tony. I think the Grand Sports were the ULTIMATE CORVETTES. I'm a big fan of vintage racing and have to have something as close as possible to the rare $4 million dollar originals, and my bet is that mine will end up outperforming the originals with the modern technology powertrain and a C4 suspension and brakes setup. Droooool.

Thanks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for just finding a new owner for now. I'm sure they'll love it and I hope they'll take good care of it, whoever it ends up being.

I wish you could keep both Mark.

I agree with you Mark, the Gran Sport cars look mean and a replica would be cool. We really can't blame someone for not buying a real one since they are worth like $5 million bux each or something.

Mee too but I'm just not patient enough to keep saving $$ and keep my car. It'll have to go to make room and funds for the GS. Oh, and the last real GS only sold for $4 million, not 5. Still a bit out of reach for me.

Good luck selling your car Mark. Whatever price it goes for, it is worth every penny!
