Default C12 Callaway pics please

I uaually hang out in the C3 area.I own an 82 Collector Edition with just over 36,000 miles.I'm the second owner.The car came with the original window sticker and is in mint condition.It's no trailer queen as I drive it a lot.I saw a side view of a C12 in the new june issue of Corvette mag.I love the lines of this car.The artical said that a little more than 24 were built so getting some pictures might be a bit of a challenge.I'll just and see what you all can come up with.Maybe a link to a web site?

I wonder if those tail lights are his own design?I think I'll look for some specs.I'm a little old school for all the carbon fibre.I like it for what it is and does but I'd want mine painted.Let the flames begin!!!

That number is not accurate

Here is THE website for Callaway Corvette info: www.callawayownersgroup.com

There are some C12 pics in the Gallery Section

The taillights BTW, were not designed by Callaway - they are actually fitted from another car

I hope this helps

I have total respect for the work that went into these cars, especially the Carbon fiber body. However, that being said, I hate the lines of the car. Just does not flow well to me at all. Looks like they had a contest at a local highschool and that is the design that won.

I think the stock look or the full tigershark kit looks way better. I think there is a picture of a black tigershark car in the pics thread with the wide wheels and lowered to the ground that looks 10 times better. Now, a Tigershark body kit in full black carbon fiber plus my 427 MTI motor and those wheels on the black car in the picture thread and I would be in heaven. I believe it belongs to GB Vette. Love it

Jeff

I love those carbon fiber mirrors and I think the taillights might be dodge intrepid. BTW I just recieved front and rear tigershark bumpers to put on my white vert. Pics will follow after they are painted and installed.....
