It is 1987 - 002, uses the truck block (as did cars 1-4) and is the earliest one that is in private hands still - 1987-001 is in the Natl. Corvette Museum.critt99 said:
Has updates - wheels and maybe some of the mechanicals - Joanne would have that info in file if it does...
Has been for sale, off & on by different means for a year or two...
The owner of the car used to have a 1991 as well - may be on consignment at that dealer?? or, ???
Anyways, they were looking for low 30's if I recall
(this dealer had some Vette's out on display / for sale at the Chevy Vette fest and all were presented well)
Hope this helps - Chris

That car looks pretty nice. I like that color. It's not to far from where my cousin live in Chicago. I think I'll have to check it out when I'm up there in Feb. if they still have it.

It is indeed a sharp combo and with the updated wheels - all the better!TurboLuigi said:
While there can only be one "first B2K" I think the first 4 Callaways have unique history w/ the truck blocks and this one would be tops on my list if I were in the market
First Vert B2K was # 4 BTW...

Not sure who has 87-184 now - it sold at least once, maybe twice since 2002...fastdaddy said:
Did not have the Dymags on it last time I saw it.
Truck block was dropped once the caps were made 4 bolt mains on production B2K's - a running change if you will...
Interesting though from a historical perspective

How do the callaway cars hold value. If I were interested as I may become down the road, I like to drive. What kind of depreciation should you expect for a callaway? This one has 52k. Is 30 grand a fair price for this car? BTW I liked everything about the car except the floor mats. I wonder why they didn't get some closer to matching.

Wow, that's a beauty! Just like my 1987 except better! I can remember the first time I was at Carlisle. One like that was on auction, an '87 with the dymags in my flame red color. It was so mint and so awesome looking. I really love that color, and that car looks great!
Chris, I thought the truck blocks were because Callaway hadn't gotten any cars yet, thus no engines to work on. I suspect they wanted to have engines done before they got cars, not pull the engine, prep it, and put it back in the same car, as that would take a really long time.:confused

Happy New Year Aurora, I'm not positive but I think all of the subsequent B2K cars after 87-004 use their original engines that were delivered to Callaway for the B2K option. Maybe Chris can enlighten us.Aurora40 said:

Actually Joe, you did not get the same motor back in your car that came out of it. To speed production the motors were pre-built then when a new car came in that motor was pulled and put in a later car.

That is correct Surf - This is why the Callaway number stamings are so very important - The Year of the car, car # and last *few* digits of the VIN will be on the pad where the block mates to the head on the passenger side - easy to see on the 88+ B2K's, 87's had a different AC compressor shrouding the view :eekSurfnSun said:Actually Joe, you did not get the same motor back in your car that came out of it.

Thanks for the clarification guy's. I should have known that
. You can see the pad #'s on the 87's. Yes you have to stand on your head, use a mirror while holding a flashlight in your mouth. It's a real PITA but I've done it. I can show you at Carlisle this year. AHHHHH already thinking of Carlisle- YEAH BABY

Has anyone checked out this car for you? If not I will. I know the owners very well and have bought 6 vettes from them including 2 ZR1s. They are good people.

Thanx for the reply..
The car is back on Ebay. I am the high bidder at this point. I talked to the dealer. He was very forthright and nice. I really like this car. I dont think it will sell for what they originally wanted. It is a fine specimen. I have another car on the hook as well, so I am not ready to mortgage the farm on it. Thanx again..mike
