From what Ive come up with - Im figuring around $38 - $40k ... just want to know if it could be much more - due to rarity factor.

I'd like to see pictures too. I toured the Callaway facility a few years back (well... they were doing C4s so it was a while ago) and it's a very nice shop. I remember a twin turbo ZR1 that they were doing for the Chief of an Indian tribe. It was an incredible car.

As to the value, are you trying to sell it or just get an estimate for insurance purposes?

If it is indeed that rare of a car, you might want to get a professional appraiser to look at the car and give you a value.

It would help a lot if you would post pictures of it.
Being a Vette enthusiast I would really like to see this car.
Thanks.

How can anything be valued without seeing it? "Sorry, no pics" seems crazy considering it is 2012...

You are teasing us with the failing attempts at posting pics...

I have never seen crays that I personally thought looked good. Maybe it being a Callaway will look good. Hurry up and figure it out we all can't wait to see!
