OT: c4 Calloway
I am the webmaster of our Local Vette Club and of course when somebody wants to sell something I get the pics to post.
Here is a car that I've never seen or heard of before - a Calloway C4? Just thunk that I'd share

The Calloway C4 cars were the C4 to have before the ZR-1 came out. It involved a twin turbo kit that pumped the horsepower up over 400 if I remember right. It was a $25,000 option (I think), so when the ZR-1 showed up it pretty much slowed to a halt. Check out your black book, starting around 87 was when this option showed up, if I remember correctly.

I believe that you could have a couple of different options from Calloway.
You could send your car to them, and then pick and chose which option level you would like. A speedster example:

Also, I believe that you could just purchase the body kit individually, which is what the car in your link appears to have done.
It looks like the "Sledgehammer" version, which (if memory serves), Calloway had one of their first Sledgehammer cars run 250 mph.
I think just the motor option was $25K, and if you wanted wheels, suspension, etc., etc., it was a $150K+ car with all the bells and whistles.
Very
cars.

If so, looks like it might be one of the "Supernatural" ones.
If it was local, I'd consider a purchase.

Nice BRIGHT red
May want to ask your friend to check the spelling against that, on the rear bumper

The Callaway Sledgehammer ran 255 MPH and still holds records.
