Default Found a Calloway FS

I am in no way affiliated with this car.
I found this listing on CR local to me, the price seems rather good if the car is in good condition.
I figured with people always posting links to horrible listings this one looks like a nice change.

Okay...only 184 made so I guess this sort of fits into the rare category! Seems like a fair price for the car. Appears to be okay, but crummy pictures. Hopefully whoever buys it will show up on the forum with better pictures.

Was the manual in a 1987 Calloway the 4+3?

Yes. They made a few autos with the T400.

Careful with those "bargain" Callaways, usually you get what you pay for. I'd plan on spending a few grand if I picked that car up.

That Callaway was previously listed for over twice that ammt. I'd say it is priced very low, for a genuine Callaway

Think we should let HP Bushrod know about this one, he's been looking for one of these.

Do you have any idea what the average going price for one in good condition with what is probably average miles of 80k as probably not a daily driver since built?

I bought my 91 a few years back because it reminded me of all the fun I had doing the engines and a couple rides I got in completed cars. They are very quick instant on ride, it one thing to have that much torque and have to wait to get to the spot the cam comes in and another to just have it the minute you hop on the loud pedal. If anyone lives near this car they ought to take a spin by and see if you can get a test flight in it..LOL It will change your mind over what fast is pretty quick.
