Tony's 1963 Grand Sport Corvette (car #80)

Tony Stefan built this 1963 Grand Sport coupe from the ground up. The car is possibly the most accurate replica of the original ever built. The original car was driven by Dick Thompson a.k.a. "The Flying Dentist". Check out Tony's web site tonysautobuilders.com.

Hate to be a dick...sorry if Im wrong...But how do you know what is correct for that car...where would you have found original measurements and specs outside of having original documents or physically measuring every part of one of the 5 orginals?

@WesMoran,

Good question. The measurements for the frame were taken from photographs, and from knowing that the frame was an inch or two or whatever different from the stock car. The body is a cast of one of the original vehicles. I am speaking for Tony so there are more details that I do not know. His number is on his website.
