    Corvette Grand Sport

    Does anyone know who owns the Penske Convertible Grand Sport #10 car?

    Thanks

    I have one in 1/24th scale and 1/18th scale. Will that help. Seriously, I've seen the car and a story about the owner every now and then in the mags, but may be someone with a better reference file can put their finger on it here for you.

      I believe it's Harry Yeagy in Cincinnati.

      And, it's not really a convertible. There is no top.

        Had a chance to get up close with both the No. 9 and No.10 cars at Carlisle in 2006. These cars sound incredible!

              Robert,

              had a long chat with Jim Hall, a real interesting character! - in fact got him and all the other drivers that were there to autograph a picture that Dick Gulstrand was handing out - there was an artist that was doing "numbered sets" of the FIVE GS's together - think I got #3 or something like that (100 only made) - also have all the driver's signatures on that

              BOY, was that a wet couple of days!

                Only five were built - the Penske car was #001, now owned by Harry Yeaggy; the other roadster (#002) is owned by Jim Jaeger. Coupe #003 (formerly owned by Tom Armstrong) now belongs to a hedge fund manager in California, Coupe #004 is owned by the Miles Collier collection in Florida, and Coupe #005 is owned by Bill Tower in Florida. Photo below is of all five Grand Sports at Amelia Island two years ago.
