Default Awesome service from Callaway

Just wanted to share my experience with callaway cars recently.

I'd purchased a B2K 1987 corvette while still here in Australia and had it shipped to a corvette specialist in colorado as I had business to attend to there and hoped to drive it back to LA before shipping it to Oz.

Long story short, the whole plan almost came unstuck when at the last minute the oil pump that is driven off the serpentine belt was found to be leaking, needing a rebuild.

With less than a week to go, it was sipped to Callaway Cars who performed a minor miracle and had it back in the hands of the repair shop in only a couple of days.

I had emailed Chris, so not sure who should get the credit, but they really went above and beyond to help out a new owner of one of their cars.

Cannot thank them enough!!!!!!

It was a teal coloured one, #46, I think.

Needs a fair bit of TLC as mice had got to it and made a mess

Has aerobody and Dymags

Has oil leak, HVAC vents not working, overheats and needs a couple of minor repairs (hatch release on drivers door not working)

Already recovered seats, new door trims, new radio (awesome retrosound!!) and new carpet and dash trims. Lol

Still drove it 1300 miles before dropping it off for shipping to Oz.
