Pictured below is Bill Scott ( Scotty) with what looks like an air hose in his hand. I know they had pneumatic jack system installed in car for quick tire and brake changes. Perhaps they were in the process of lifting the car.

I love this thread! Thank you to all who is contributing:)

----That visit the Corvette Corral is really cool!!!!.....Bill S

Mecom Race Team 1963 with Grand Sport #003

Who owns #1? and #4?

Simeone foundation in Philadelphia has the former Wintersteen car (#2) - Roadster
The Colliers have #3 - I believe this is the Former Bob Patterson car.
Bill Tower still has car #5

At one time - within the last 10 years or so - One of the Walton sons or grandsons owns(ed) /raced one of the coupes. I don't know if it was car #3 prior to Collier ownership or if it is car #4 and still owned by the Walton family.

This is Bill Tower's car Serial #5

Miles Collier is shown as the owner of 004

I wonder if the Miles Collier car is in their museum in Naples, FL, where I live. The Collier Family is very prominent here (our county is named after them) and their museum, The Revs Institute, is an amazing place to visit if you're ever in the area.

Yes # 4 is at the Revs Institute (Collier Museum), but due to Covid the museum is presently closed.

----And indeed, the #4 car was Bob Patterson's Grand Sport......Bill S

My thoughts exactly.......lots of really neat information.

Interesting Serial #3 (numbered 65 in the photos) is listed as Bob Patterson's in Vette Vues with a photo of the serial number. John Cannon was listed as the driver of the Dec 3 1963 Nassau race - finishing 8th.
Did Patterson own 2 of the cars?

If anyone is in the area of the Collier Museum I highly suggest visiting ESPECIALLY if you have any interest in sports car racing from the 50's - 70's.
We used to go every few years when my grandparents lived in Naples - it has been 20 years since I was there and have considered making the trip JUST FOR the Museum.

----As far as I know, Bob's GS was #4. The confusion came from the racing number which for some reason was 3. Bob kept the original racing number and that has caused interesting comments for years. Bob also owned only one Grand Sport!.....Bill S

Think it might go Penske/ClassicMotors Bill Roadster 001, Wintersteen/Simeone Roadster 002, Bob P. 003, Miles Revs 004, Penske Coupe/Bill Tower 005 (no expert, though!) ...?

Did Straman do 001 & 002? (see, no expert!) ...

There used to be a fantastic website documenting the restoration of GS #002 but the site is now gone unfortunately. It showed great details like how thin & transparent the fiberglass was and how they removed & straightened dents out of the large diameter round tube frame rails. Wish I saved the photos or printed that content on paper.

I remember Richard B. letting my brother and I sit in GS#1 when I was a wee lad. Great memories for sure!!
The significance of this car and the GS program was engrained in my head.

Fell in love with these as a young kid in the late 1970’s when I was given a Motor Trend magazine that had one featured in the “Retrospective” section. #003 was here in the Seattle area for most of the early 2000’s, when Tom and Susan Armstrong owned and raced the heck out of it. RIP Tom, they were a great couple and wonderful ambassadors for the hobby.

Mark, any idea if the museum was impacted with Ian flood waters ?
I am SO bummed about that hurricane. We were informed that our Feb accommodations were lost in the surge and are now booked on the other side, in Palm Bay. It will be warm, but not the same. I prefer the gulf coast to the Atlantic. Would have liked to go to this museum.

Hey Mitch, I hadn't heard anything about Ian's effects on The Revs Museum, so I went to their website and found the following:
Revs Institute will reopen on November 17, 2022, as planned. In October, Revs Institute closed temporarily, in readiness for Hurricane Ian. Fortunately, the buildings and exhibits escaped damage. However, the Revs Institute team has since been preparing to host a joint conference of the World Forum for Motor Museums and the National Association of Automobile Museums in mid-November. Revs Institute is proud to host this important international event. We look forward to reopening, shortly after the conference has ended.
