Jeremy Welborn took his 2017 Grand Sport and opted to give it a modern version of the livery colors of the famed

#001 Grand Sport that Roger Penske obtained from Chevrolet in 1966 and converted to a streamlined racing Sting

Ray. When first competing at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1966, it was painted blue and accented with yellow wheels

and side pipes, and Sunoco decals. Welborn took this C7 and painted it in hues to closely resemble Penske’s effort.

Of course, this is no race car but an absolute daily driver. Having put nearly 18,000 miles on it during one eight-month span covering many

a state. Great homage and what a daily driver!
