It's been a while since I hung out on the midyear section of the Corvette Forum, but I seem to recall that GM put some Gran Sport replica makers out of business by insisting that they build them on actual Corvette frames with original titles. I believe their argument was that anyone could modify an existing Corvette any way they liked, but they couldn't build a replica from scratch without infringing on GM's rights. I may be wrong or there may be other issues of which I am not aware. But's that's what I recall reading a few years back.
