This month we are extremely pleased to feature a very rare and highly requested Callaway Corvette for our Callaway Of The Month spotlight.
Belonging to Australian, Jim Gramms, this car is one of only a handful of Callaway Corvettes “down under” Featured in numerous magazines including Motor Trend, Road & Track, and Vette, this car led the life of a magazine test car for automotive journalists to sample Old Lyme latest and greatest back in 1991 at the model year introduction. Much praise was written about the car in the various magazines and the only shortcomings noted dealt with Chevrolet components.
Ripping down the quarter-mile in 12.54 @ 115, this car made the often compared to ZR1, a distant memory… Amazing track times were only part of the story, as the cars blazing yellow paint and fitted AeroBody were always drawing attention of onlookers during these road jaunts. Fitted with some subtle changes for 1991, the most notable are the blisters for the intercoolers up on top of the hood.
Jim’s car amazingly, resides in his living room – yes, INSIDE his home! Read on, as Jim shares some of the highlights of his Callaway and many of the awards listed that it has captured – Enjoy!
