Back when corporate oversight was a lot less micromanage-y and stringent, the big man on campus that is General Motors had its fair share of “yes men” and line-towers that got along to get along. Fortunately, there were those few men that went against the tide to invest in personal projects, and push the envelope just a little further.

One of those men was, you guessed it, Zora Arkus-Duntov. In 1962, he took a prototype of the C2 and went about trying to make it lighter, with the hopes that it would reach a production run of 125 and be eligible to compete in international Grand Touring events. He succeeded in building just five of these cars, dubbed Grand Sports, before his superiors put the kibosh on the project.

All five have survived to today, with four in circulation and one interred at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. So famous and desired are these Vettes that it only makes sense for people to create clones, like the one seen here for sale on eBay.

Per the description, it appears the car has a factory body off of a 1965 coupe, which has been modified and cut to fit over a round tube chassis “built to original specs.” We can’t tell for sure what displacement the V8 has, but it looks incredibly well-kept and equipped with its quartet of side draft Weber carbs.

Elsewhere, features include an off-set brake booster, roll bar, sidepipe exhaust, and a mere 5,155 miles on the clock. “The car is a professionally built turnkey from Mid America Industries,” says the description.

Despite this scant information and noticeable lack of documentation, a few bidders haven’t shied away from the auction. As of this writing, the auction has reached a high of $66,500, and will only go up as the timer ticks down. Are you impressed by this clone of a classic? Let us know in the comments below.
