looking for all information about these cars,

there was a large poster available also but sold out in the callaway shop.
does someone have this poster ? can you take a hi-res picture so I can let it print out in large format.
 
I have the poster - it looks like it was a Bridgestone poster - they come up for sale from time to time and I have seen them at swap meets too. Having one already, it wasn't a big deal to grab another however, I would if I saw one again - I am sure everyone on this board would try to help you out :m

- Cars are in Texas - both in private hands, one was a 6-spd other an automatic.
 
Chris, when you can get your hands on one this year at Carlisle swap meet.

please.

I never seen one on ebay yet, and thought they were vanished.

does anyone have more pics of them esspecially the purple
I really fell in love with that colour.
 
Vette magazine July 1995 front cover and article on cars after sold. Watched coupe run NCCC high speed event at MIS super speedway before then. I don't remember who was running car but got around road course that include part of main track really well. Was an impressive car at that time! :upthumbs Obviously coilover suspension was working!! Good luck with search! :w Ike
 
I just purchased a magazine off ebay with the two run flat cars titled "where are they now" The magazine hasn't came in the mail yet.

What info are you looking for?

There was a runflat poster/brochure on ebay several months ago. I saved the picture. I was going to bid on it, but I remember the seller wanting more than I was willing to pay.

How about the Super Bourban

There are two on ebay now with the Bridgestone run flats.

I saw that auction earlier this afternoon. I thought it might be cheaper to buy the Suburban just for the wheels than to buy the wheels separately :L

...do you have ANY idea what you are looking at, regarding that SuperBourban??? That vehicle was HUGE money, when constructed! :eek I imagine it was a 100k +++ truck :eek


It, along w/ its cousin, sold a year ago at auction in the low / mid-20's... GIVE-AWAY prices, compared to what they were new - that is FAR more than a set of fancy rims on a truck - check out the vehicle description :cool :m
 
No, I don't know anything about it. But the opening bid is $5000 so that's why I made the joke.

Is it's cousin a Blazer? Because I saw the Blazer on ebay earlier today too.

Same owner had both vehicles comissioned - the SuperBourbon is obviously a much more "involved" vehicle however, at a BIN price of low 30's, it is still far less than it was to build, when new.

12" were sectioned off the vehicles length - it wold have been a LOT chaper to wait a couple year for the "Tahoe" four-door model to appear, vs. the work that went into that truck :eek

Enjoy! :m

I had my hand on the mouse for this several times but he was asking 15 bucks or something like that , including shipping this brochure would really cost me a fortune.

So I decided to stay away from it and pt some extra"callaway"money in the stocking under the bed :)

I remember those trucks well as they were on the For Sale section of the old callaway site.
