And no one was more in tune with the new rhythms of race car design than Cal Tech engineering graduate, Chaparral creator and Rattlesnake Raceway owner Jim Hall. He opened his doors to Winchell &amp; Co.<\/p>\n<p>Hall\u2019s remote Rattlesnake Raceway test facility offered Winchell the perfect cover to shield the GS II from prying eyes and lenses and cold winters.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the American Manufacturer\u2019s Association ban on direct factory racing participation, companies like Chevrolet were limited to creating research vehicles and assisting private teams. That\u2019s precisely where the GS II fit perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>The GS II was based loosely on Chevy\u2019s Monza GT concept car that used Corvair running gear in Chevrolet\u2019s first monocoque design. But unlike the Monza GT, the GS II took the theme several steps further by using thin-gauge steel and an experimental all-aluminum 327 V8 engine that was mated to a bespoke single-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_695602\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-695602\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GS-II-three-quarter.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-695602 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GS-II-three-quarter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GS-II-three-quarter.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GS-II-three-quarter-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GS-II-three-quarter-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GS-II-three-quarter-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GS-II-three-quarter-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-695602\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chevrolet\u2019s mid-engine 1964 GS IIB research vehicle.

The radical single-speed automatic transmission was developed by Chevy\u2019s Jerry Mrlik. It was a confluence of the latest thinking and it looked and acted the part.<\/p>\n<p>In 1964, after a brief testing period, the GS II was returned to Michigan and destroyed. An updated GS IIB was then built. The monocoque chassis was riveted and bonded together using .032&#8243; sheet aluminum. The body was revised to accommodate wider tires.<\/p>\n<p>GS IIB was then shipped to Midland where it underwent extensive testing. The Amelia&#8217;s 2003 honoree, Jim Hall, was behind the wheel for the majority of the GS IIB&#8217;s high-speed runs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mid-Engine Corvette Class is a dream class,\u201d said Bill Warner, founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours. \u201cHaving a historically significant car at The Amelia that\u2019s never been seen in a concours before is a dream for us.
