Duntov Lightweight??!!

I was perusing through the cash for clunkers list and I came upon a Duntov GT. I think to myself “wtf is a duntov GT?” There wasn’t much information available on them, but I did find this site:

Only five Grand Sports were built before GM cancelled the project. GM ordered that the cars be destroyed and put aside two of the Grand Sports and then he sent cars 003, 004 and 005 to John Mecom in Texas. Those cars were sold to various racers.

Grand Sport chassis #003 recently changed hands for more than $6 million. The Duntov Motor Company was formed for the 40th anniversary of Sebring 1965. The Duntov Motor Company was organized to produce an exact replica of this famous car.

The Duntov Lightweight automobile is not a kit car. Every part is hand made to replicate the corresponding part in the original #003 car as it was presented at Sebring in 1965.

Duntov Motor Company was authorized to use the Duntov name by Elfi Duntov, in part to recreate the spirit of the original car, and to demonstrate that spirit to a new generation.

So a Stripped C2 Vette with UFO tail lights?

Awesome- I’d rock it.

Doubtful it was turned in for C4C given the fact there’s only a handful of them.
