Here is your chance to get a twin turbo Calloway for the neighborhood of $15K.

Would this be considered a clone?

It is an interesting car. If I were going to get involved in the bidding I would want to disicuss the car with Callaway to confirm the story. Not being a B2K car makes it less valuable but still an interesting car. Some of the body/paint work didn't strike me as enhancing the car any but the poster seems like a straight shooter. In any event it would have to be inspected.

Be very careful in dealing with a vehicle that has been involved in a case of fraud. You have no recourse.

No, I will run it through the Fall Carlisle auction unless someone makes me a compelling (read: real) offer before hand


We were close, but not close enough
