While the script is the same, the badges are different. On the modern Grand Sports, the badge is a smooth rectangular piece of metal. On the original Grand Sports, the badge is the same shape as on the midyear Sting Rays (lengthwise indents in the bar top/bottom). You can make out the indents in the photos of the original badges on this thread.

Yep. I've got a 66 coupe rebodied with the GS panels. Still running stock midyear chassis and front suspension, and one piece '82 aluminum rear end with fiberglass monospring.
We spoke at the 5/4 CC drag and snagged video/pics of the cars parked side by side. It would have been fun to run them side by side but I have a feeling I would have gotten spanked. Maybe next summer.

Here's another variation of the Grand Sport badge. This is the one on my GS II rebody. After speaking with the rebody company, I find out it turns out to be a collector's item since he doesn't make them any more. On his new rebodies he just supplies a GS II logo decal.
