While our emphasis is and will continue to be on the 1963, 1996, and 2010+ Grand Sports, GSR Membership is open to all Corvette enthusiasts. Grand Sport or Corvette ownership is certainly encouraged but not required. Check out these benefits and then Join the GSR today!
MEMBERSHIP BADGE:
The GSR Membership Badge is very distinctive and rates high on the "cool" factor. Featuring the ever present hashmarks, the screen printed plastic badge includes your name, GS # (if applicable), city and state. And no pins to poke holes in shirts or clips to break as our badges feature a handy magnetic back. Annual memberships include one badge. Lifetime memberships include a badge for yourself and spouse, both with prominent "LIFETIME" markings. Replacement or additional badges are available through the GSR Store. Note: As of October 2011 membership cards are no longer required and have therefore been discontinued.
STATIC CLING WINDOW DECAL:
Of course, you are proud of your Grand Sport (as you are of ANY Corvette) and you'll want to tell the world you are also a proud member of the GSR. You'll receive a static cling window decal featuring the Grand Sport Registry logo. Lifetime GSR Members get a special "LIFETIME MEMBER" decal and lapel pin, too. Extra decals are available through the GSR Store for your other vehicles. Put one on your minivan! At least it will be cool in that respect.
GRAND SPORT LAPEL PIN:
FREE for GSR Lifetime Members, the Grand Sport lapel pin is available for all others through the GSR Store. Members get a discount, of course!
SPECIAL GSR MEMBER DISCOUNTS:
We're excited to announce that GSR Members are now eligible for a 10% (or better!) discount on most items from the following major Corvette Parts and Accessories vendors by simply by placing the order directly through the GSR. These benefits alone can save you hundreds of dollars! Members must follow the instructions in the Members Only Section of the GSR website and place the order thru the GSR, not the vendor, to get these discounts.
As a GSR Member, you may participate in various Group Purchases we arrange with national vendors for really cool and unique Grand Sport goodies.... all at a special GSR Member-Only Price! In the past we've arranged group purchases for custom throttle body plates, leather jackets, tapestries, wrist watches, folding chairs, and car covers... all specific to the Grand Sport. Keep an eye on the web site and email list for announcements of upcoming group purchase opportunities. But remember, it's for GSR Members only!
FREE CLASSIFIED ADS:
The GSR Classifieds Ads page draws a lot of visitors looking for that "perfect" Grand Sport or parts and accessories for their own Corvette. You can take advantage of its popularity through FREE classified ads for GSR members ($20 non-members). Also note that classified ad fees goes into our fund as part of our annual donation to the National Corvette Mueseum.

SPECIAL ACCESS TO EVENTS:
At a recent Concours d'Elegance event at Amelia Island in Florida, we arranged some very special concessions for our members to get them "up close and personal" with the five original 1963 Grand Sport Corvette race cars. In a later event, we arranged a private tour of the famous Collier Collection in Naples, Florida, of antique and racing automobiles (including an original 63 GS). More recently, we attended the Vettes on the Rockies show in Colorada and the Woodward Dream Cruise in Michigan. You never know where we might turn up so make plans now to join us at our next big GSR event!
GRAND SPORT CORRAL PARKING:
At most national and larger regional events, we will organize Grand Sport ONLY Parking Corrals for our members. These corrals are usually intended for Grand Sports only to maintain a visual impact. But at the discretion of the individual event organizers, GSR members driving other Corvettes may usually park at one end of our corrals (not intermixed with the Grand Sports) given space is available. At some events we'll have a canopy with tables and chairs and some cold soft drinks to share with our members and often some special GSR-only awards or prizes, too. We're always a fixture at events such as The Gathering at the National Corvette Museum in May, Corvettes at Carlisle in August, and Mid America's Corvette Funfest in September, so look for us. We're usually not that hard to spot!
GSR PHOTO GALLERY
The GSR also maintains an exclusive online photo gallery for GSR Members to post pictures of their Grand Sports and other Corvettes, event photos, memorabilia, and much more. Visit the Gallery at www.grandsportregistry.com/photopost/.
GSR EMAIL LIST
The GSR provides an email discussion list for members and the public to exchange information, tech tips, etc. Unlike some other lists, we try to avoid all the "fluff" by keeping the content specific to Corvettes and the Grand Sport. Sign up today.
ACCESS TO MEMBERS ONLY AREA OF THE GSR WEB SITE:

GS Stuff!
AND JUST PLAIN FUN!
Most importantly, membership in the GSR will help you get more enjoyment out of these very special Corvettes by sharing your enthusiasm with others who feel the same way. While our emphasis is and will continue to be on the 1963, 1996, and 2010+ Grand Sports, GSR Membership is open to all Corvette enthusiasts. Grand Sport or Corvette ownership is certainly encouraged but not required. Many of us have established lifelong friends through the GSR and getting together during the year is like a family reunion, but a heckuva lot more fun.
In fact, we like to think that GSR Membership is "More fun than you can shake a dead skunk at!"
