Guldstrand Nassau Roadster

Guldstrand Specialty Automobiles (GSA), made a big splash with their GS90 super Corvette coupe was presented in 1995.  A few months later, they presented the Guldstrand Nassau Roadster as the soft top sibling to the GS90. Instead of running on the LT-5 engine like the GS90, the Nassau Roadster ran on the LT-1 engine with the option of a Vortech supercharger.   The car made several magazine appearances, including the May 1996 issue of Corvette Fever.
