Grand Sport #1

[TimG]

Bill, I believe that the car had just come from Richard Siever of Austin, TX in 1979. Richard was a strange fellow that owned, raced and damaged the car in the early or mid 70's. Branches were growing around the car as it sat in dilapidated condition in his front yard, local Corvette guys would come look at it and sit in it. I know a number of folks that looked at that car only knowing it was some type of factory race car. Richard got a bit strange later on and would sit in a tree with a gun guarding GS #1 and a '63 fuelie coupe. I think he sold it to the Janesville collector or the person that sold it to him. You may be able to shed some light on exactly who bought the car from Richard. I still hear stories about GS #1 on occasion. I saw the car at Bloomington in '82 and have the Hemmings add offering it and many rare cars for sale in July of '82.
