When I spoke w/ the guy, I believe he said he had over $80k into the car - Of course that included the GS w/ AeroBody however, those who know the car, know what he paid for it
I meant for the black Callaway. I geuss it's not yours?
Thanks, an auto is ack though. An 89, with the ZF and everything that car has would be ideal.
Sorry, that ad seemed to cut off - here is the entire ad - hope this helps

Aaron, it is my car. I have it advertised in two places - the one I linked in post # 23 above, is from the Vettehound web ads -
Here's the link again - Thanks for your interest. http://www.vettehound.com/geo/classi...php?a=2&b=3060
I am actually in the market for a new "toy" before I order up a C6. I plan to try to get a C6 convertible (we will see) in late summer, but am looking for something for the mean time. I was in an accident back at the end of '05, which has caused me to look for a new daily driver. My wife has OK'ed a two seater daily driver although we have 4 kids (one kid is driving), but we still have two cars that will haul six.
I have been looking at a bunch of '03-04 Z06s, but am considering my options. I am taking the wife this evening to take a 2nd look at a '03. Yellow, of course.
But damn, that Calloway sure is nice. My problem is the daily driver thing. Kinda relagates an awesome car to pheasant status.
...I bought the car for my wife - I am sure most folks here could handle the machine. It is a bit much for her, as she drove it a few times and said she likes her SUV
If you could afford the gas, it could be a daily driver
