Thanks for sharing the news. The Fourth Generation Callaway Corvettes are indeed the very best. Not just for their brute torque, but their civility is amazing, as they are so easy to drive.
Power, style, and exclusivity.
The Twin Turbo Callaway Corvettes were the most powerful of the Fourth Generation, and the quickest / fastest, as well.
With only 510 built, and some amazing options from Callaway, these are THE Corvette to get while you can - and before the rest of the world realizes (again) what a performance benchmark they are.
Right now, there are several great Callaway Corvettes available from this era. From the 1987 B2K, through the Speedsters, and then SuperNatural series, even a B2K Speedster! Drop me a note if interested in any. Thanks.
In 1987, virtually all had the twin NACA ducts to feed cool air to the intercoolers. In 1988, the cars received under hood ducting, from the high pressure area in the nose area of the car to feed the intercoolers. This was a bit more efficient of a design. Then, in 1991, the cars received twin scoops on the hood to feed the intercoolers. Intercoolers were the same each year, but how they were cooled, changed as described above. Also, cool air to the turbos changed from 1987 (stock air box) to 1988-1990 Callaway air box in front cavity under right headlight area), then again in 1991 to stock Air box again. Air was channeled through the frame, capped/boxed, then disbursed to feed the turbos on either side of the oil pan.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought all the early C4’s had the NACA ducts.

That car just sold for $21k.....a smokin' deal. I bid up to $18k on it, simply b/c it was SO CHEAP right up to the end of the auction! I was thinking, "Well if this is all the more people are willing to bid....I'LL BUY THE THING!
Wasn't looking/shopping, but that is a LOT of car for $18k. For $21k too.

21k for a mechanically sorted Callaway seems like an early Christmas present.
I hear you. I wasn't looking for one...or any car. But when I saw the lackluster bidding, I threw my own in the pot. It's a lot of car for the money.
I totally agree with you Tom - that car was stolen at that price. I saw your bids - I was tempted to as well. Even worse -the car is (was) local to me!
Everyone's got their favorite C4 - mine happens to be the early Callaway C4s.
Watch out - there's another one on BAT ('87 convertible)!

Yeah, I was not replying to you with my comment, just a general comment on the thread title, if you would have got it for that price that would have been a GREAT addition to your collection for a great price. That is a nice example of serious 80's performance history with a clean car price.

1988 Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette is the Perfect C4
Someone got a killer car for low, low money.
