For sale now in our Houston showroom is this very rare 1989
Chevrolet Corvette Callaway Twin Turbo. In 1987, the factory B2K
option appeared at Chevy dealers. The option's price was almost
equal to the base price of the Corvette. The Callaway Corvette was
a Regular Production Option (RPO) B2K, the only time in Chevrolet's
history a specialist manufacturer was entrusted with a technically
advanced high performance RPO. The B2K option was critical in
bringing a select few Corvettes to a higher performance level.
Although often compared with Chevrolet's ZR-1 option, they were
simply two different approaches to solving the issue of bringing a
higher performance Corvette to market. The early B2K's produced 382
hp and 586 lb�ft of torque. The later B2K's produced 450 hp and 613
lb�ft of torque. Amazingly, there is also derivative of the Twin
Turbo Corvette, the 880 hp Callaway SledgeHammer. With a recorded a
speed of 254.76 mph on Ohio's Transportation Research Center track
making it the fastest road-going car at the time. This car, with
build plaque number 030 has 43390 original & actual miles on it. It
has been garage kept most of its life and all components on the car
are in excellent condition. The 5.7 350 CID V8 under the hood is
very clean, healthy, & runs extremely smooth. The turbocharged V8
is paired to a 6-speed manual transmission that goes into each gear
with ease. This is a very low mileage car that shows very well for
being almost 30 years old. There were only about 450 cars of these
cars that were produced, and even less that are still on the road
and even less that have this low mileage. This one is shown in its
original white paint job that is in very nice condition. The
fiberglass body is in superb shape and is free from any major
scratches or dings. The exterior trim, light lenses, & glass on the
car are all in great shape. The car sits on its factory wheels that
are in good shape (a couple have a little, but repairable curb
rash) & they are wrapped in Firehawk tires that have plenty of
tread left on them. The reveal the 4-wheel disc brakes to bring all
382HP to a stop. Stepping into the driver's seat you will find the
eye-catching fire red leather interior that looks awesome
contrasting to the white exterior. The leather seats are in good
condition with minor aging to them. The carpet, door panels,
headliner, & dash are in fantastic condition. Sitting behind the
wheel in this car feels like sitting in a jet fighter cockpit with
all of gauges & switches. The car has cold blowing AC and the
interior electronics are in good working order as they should be.
You could own a piece of history or make an investment on what
should be an appreciating asset in the years to come! Options on
this car include; AC (blows cold), traction control, lumbar seat
support, power brakes, power seats, active suspension control,
cruise control, power steering, leather interior, power windows,
