I got the mint part

Anyone want the Dynamags?

 

[HoldHard]

Did those wheels turn green from non-use? Man, if that's the case, I'm going to start driving my Quasar Blue before the wheels turn the same color.......

Mint......

Sorry, just not my taste....

That looks like turquoise from 1990 and 1991 factory cars. I assume he did the aerobody during those years and updated the color then. I wonder what the stock color was? That color is one of my favorites.... too bad it was discontinued because of problems with the longevity of the paint

 

[Vettelt193]

Ok... I spoke too soon. the green wheels put the car over the edge on good looks.... I would prefer the standard silver dymags

A quick question for all the Callaway fans here.....

How much value, if any, is lost by having the Callaway a different color than the car was in stock form?

I doubt that very much $$ would be lost, if any provided that the entire color was changed for all panels - ALL the SPeedsters started out as a different color than they are now - in fact, the last one (Green) was originally the 91 Turq. met.

I hope this guy gets rid of one of the auctions... There is no way I will bid with two going at the same time..... the only problem after that is talking the fiance' into another manual tranny coupe

Personally I am quite fond of that color

However, I do not care for the painted Dymag wheels or the NACA ducts in conjunction with that color.

I haven't had any problems with the paint (other than typical chips on the aerobody nose). Then again, it doesn't sit out in the sun/rain/dew very often.

:cool

I am guessing Callaway does a better job painting than GM did originally... If GM put an extra layer or two of clear coat on those cars, there wouldn't have been a problem with the paint.

Your car is one of my favorite Corvettes... the color, convertible.... it just doesn't seem to get any better

mint 87...

I like it

 

[malc350]

Wow Luigi's car

and that green thing look like they're in different leagues. Anyone else think that? Good job the ad doesn't say that the engine's mint!

P.S. I can always tell if a car's been in an accident by a couple of pictures.

Maybe I'm being a bit mean here, maybe it just needs some better pictures?

 

[SurfnSun]

Wow I went back and looked at the rest of the pics.....that car looks pretty rough. Look at the DIC....looks like someone cut a square out of it with an exacto knife.

That to me, looks like tape over a dash light:confused

The turquoise 87 Aerobody car is apparently still for sale. Has anyone from the CAC actually looked at this car to see what its overall condition and driveability are like? Those Dymags are begging for a re-finish job, though. Does anyone know what color the interior leather is. One of the pictures shows that it has silver carpet, but I didn't see anything on the seat color.

If the aerobody was really done nicely, then this might not be too bad a deal...

Steve - that car looks decent - I am certain by the other pics, a little TLC would do wonders for the car

Interior is graphite (gray) Although I have not seen it in person, a few of the CAC guys are in NY and might know of this car in detail (????)

I think silver DY's would look better - just my thoughts though...

It didn't meet reserve on e-bay , went to about 15 or 16k and stalled at bidding

Hope this helps

Gray/Teal Aero TT

Chris,

Thanks for the quick info. I saw your previous post with the interior color just after hitting the send button before. It sure would be a better color combo car with silver Dymag wheels and a black interior!

Weren't there two colors of gray back in 87 -- a light gray (really metallic silver) and a darker gray? Does anyone know if that is true for 87? I am pretty positive that there were two different colors like this in 86.

I guess it is not too hard or expensive ($600-1,000) to convert the leather seats to black, but there would still be a large amount of silver/gray carpet and other trim to convert, too.

I passed on a white aero TT a while back at $25K. I just could not handle the Pleasure House Red that was all over its interior. I was thinking about converting that interior color to black, too, but could not justify the extra costs and the amount of time that I didn't (and still don't) have to perform the conversion.

Its a good thing you passed on that car....it had been totalled and rebuilt. :eek I almost bought it myself til I ran Carfax on it.

Steve - today, I am going down into my Corvette Archives vault and will look for my old 1987 dealer catalog - it has leather swatches and color chips - if I can find it, I will let you know...
My memory is saying that there was a light silver & a dark graphite avail. in either cloth or leather - will confirm
