A 1963 Grand Sport sold at auction for $18.7 million, a Corvette sales record.
Chevrolet built five 1963 Grand Sports.
Chevrolet built five 1963 Corvette Grand Sports to go racing against Shelby's Cobras, then killed the official program before a single one wore a factory decal in anger. Chassis #001, the first of those five, spent August 2026 reminding everyone why that abandoned plan still matters. It rolled into a dedicated tent at Corvettes at Carlisle, parked next to sibling chassis #004, and drew crowds all weekend.
The timing wasn't an accident. Less than two weeks earlier, 1963 Corvette Grand Sport chassis 003 sold at auction for $18.7 million, instantly becoming the most expensive Corvette ever sold. Seeing #001 in the metal at a Pennsylvania fairground days later gave fans a rare chance to connect that number to an actual car.
