EXTERIOR – FEATURES
During the 2005 build completed by Dean Hoskins of D&D Corvette in Akron, Ohio, a D&D Grand Sport body kit was installed and refinished in Brilliant Blue Metallic and a livery inspired by the 1963 Corvette Grand Sport #003. Features include clear headlight covers, a hood scoop, dual rearview mirrors, an aluminum fuel filler, an external transmission cooler, a hinged rear trunk, and custom taillights. A full walk-around video can be seen below.

A set of 15-inch Vintage Wheels Halibrand replica wheels with knock-off center caps is wrapped in 26.50” x 8” front and 26.50” x 10” rear Goodyear Vintage Blue Streak Special tires.

The replica Grand Sport seats are upholstered in blue vinyl. Features include an ididit tilt steering column, manual steering and brakes, Vintage Air climate controls, a Grant steering wheel with a walnut rim, a roll bar with headrests, and a trunk-mounted battery.

@Kemacprr – With the age of the build , the header and suspension condition and the factory chassis . I would say in the 75-85 range. Tube chassis would bump it up. My D&D was built in 96 DDGS 0049. Wonder how old the tires are ? ...

Thank you for your question. FYI, a search online for one of these cars in this condition will find them running from $140,000 to upwards of $300,000 (I have found at least 3 on one site starting at $250,000). Regardless, this car was built in 2005 and chassis modifications were added to give it the stability and performance characteristics of the tubular frame version; after all, D&D built this and tubular frame versions and are not likely to damage their brand or reputation in any way. As can be seen in the pictures, everything is like new including all suspension components and headers etc. Driving this car is exhilarating and I recommend driving it to truly appreciate what it is. As for the tires, they are original to the build but have little signs of wear and no cracks or dry rot whatsoever.

@MIAMIRUST – I don't see A/C components in the engine compartment nor vents inside the cockpit. Could you guy confirm if it is a true A/C car or if it's just a mistake on the description? ...
I’m sorry, it may be unclear but there is a vintage air climate system in the car, which is for heat, not AC. It doesn’t say there’s AC in the car but it doesn’t specifically say that the climate control is for heat. Sorry for any confusion.

@Limerock14 – states - Vintage Air climate controls. But, I don't see any A/C components in engine bay or interior ? ...
That is correct it’s a Vintage Air heating system
