They had it for a while though, and I think buying from a dealer is a bit different than buying it private-party. Definitely looks like a nice car though, with some nice options like Brembo's and the center exhaust.

Hmmmm....... the shots in the warehouse almost look like Floyd Garrett's. Knoxville is only maybe an hour away from there. It shouldn't be hard to track down a history.

I think to do the seat, s. wheel, shifter, door panels, etc was a 15 grand option. 7500 to repaint the car in one of 28 hues. Brembo brakes was 5500 and coil over 2125. 4250 for the Oz wheel/tire package. The options go on and on it seems. 12600 for aero body intalled and 1700 more for the custom center mount exhaust.

If this car isn't the real deal, someone went to a lot of expense to make a "fake" one.
Plus, with a $50k opening bid that doesn't even get you to the eBay reserve, they're looking at a serious fraud charge if it isn't real.
The rear tires do look a little narrow in the only shot of the back. But that could be due to the prospective the pix was shot at.
BTW, I posted this video link on another C4 Forum thread re: Reeves Callaway & his team discussing the Callaway 1988 Twin Turbo & Sledgehammer development and running it at the track.
Great footage of Lingenfelter's October, 1988 record run of 254 MPH.

Drove it back on the freeway to the Callaway shop once they were done.
Not bad for a streetable C4.
