After the B2K program ended with GM I know that Callaway continued to produce twin turbo conversions and these cars were later referred to as 500+ cars. They were taylored to the taste of the individual commissioning them much like the Speedsters hence some used custom colors.

Does anyone know how many of these cars there are and what colors they are in?

I have so pics that I have seen over time... Please add if you have some pics

Old Lyme Green?

Yeah its a speedster but I like the color
 
The top purple car is an LT1 SNAT of the famous Run-Flat twins.

The next purple car is a ZR1 built by Doug Rippie with a Callaway Aero attached to it.

The green car I have never seen.

The bottom car appears to be a ZR1 based Speedster, looking at its fat butt, but maybe Chris can shed some light on that car.

To me it doesn't look like any of those are TT cars. I think the 500 Series car could be a b2k as well, it just cost extra to have that designation if the car was built after the 500th one was produced.
 
I just love the color on the run-flat and the ZR1
does anyone know the colorcode on this run-flat demo car ?

I remind me that the ZR1 was sale a few months ago ,
 
Surf, whats with the tude dude? ;shrug

Just for you, I'll rephrase the question. I was just wondering what custom color Callaway Corvette Aerobody cars are out there?

Luigi, I will have to dig through the "Carchives" for some pics of uniquely hued' Callaways :cool


In the meantime, here is what I do know -

Pic#1 is Skip's CR-1 (Tangerine) There was a series 500 car built in the custom Spies Hecker Tangerine - the best part of the story wasn't the car itself, but rather, the person who painted it :eek ...ask me @ Carlisle ;)


Pic#2 is another Spies Hecker hue - purple is all I know :confused It was the Bridgestone promo car - on half of the fraternal twins.

Pic#3 was an AeroBody placed upon a ZR1

Pic#4 looks interesting - the color Luigi does look awfully close to Old Lyme green - wonder if that was what they were going for??

Pic#4 is one of the Series I Speedsters in Candy Pearl / Chamois - wheels were changed since new ;)

Luigi, I'll look - Anyone else got pics?? :v :m

My apologies man. No 'tude intended :beer :grouphug: I re-read that and it did look a little too matter of fact.

Sorry again.
 
To be honest , to me the question was not clear to me too. :ugh

but my contribution will be a beautiful Blue / Pumpkin Speedster.
I assume this was Callaway "family" car,cause the Blue / Pumpkin C12 was from Reeves father. or am I terribly wrong and call me Ernest ;)

Absolutely stunning!

Always feel free to post more. That is the first close up I see of that car.
