Roger's Corvettes Callaway Aerobody for sale

[easycreeper]

Hello again everyone!

Was in Orlando Saturday having a look at SurfnSun's car. Let me tell you, that thing is an absolute BEAST!! The power came on so smooth and had me pressed so far back in the seat, I didn't dare check to see how fast we were travelling. Heck, my cheeks (the ones on my face) were even beginning to peel back a little.

Anyway, getting back to the subject at hand...

Whilst in Orlando, my friend and I had the opportunity to stop and see Mr. Judsky and all of his wonderful cars. Well, as everyone knows, he has an 88 B2K convertible with the Aerobody kit and an automatic transmission. If you haven't had the opportunity to see it or had someone give a brief description of it, that's what I'm here for. Here goes:

The car is very straight with nice fit and finish and suffers from only minor cosmetic issues. There is a small scratch on the hood on the passenger's side that could probably be buffed out, the engine bay is in desperate need of a detailing, but the intake is probably going to need to be refinished somehow since it does have several chips in the "crinkle coat." The wire screen at the base of the windshield under the windshield wiper arm on the driver's side is missing (don't know if that is a Callaway modification or what, but doesn't seem to be) and will need to be replaced. Not sure about the exhaust on the car, but it doesn't appear to be stock... The tips resemble LT1 tips and have CALLAWAY stamped on them, but not being familiar with all of the changes that went on in the build sequence, I can't say whether or not they are aftermarket. The tires appear to be orginal, but have begun to dry rot and crack, so of course that would need to be addressed.

Now for the disclaimer... I am not a notoriously observant person and I don't know Callaways like I should, so there may have been something major that my friend and I didn't pick up on, but with it being a Roger's car, I highly doubt there would be anything fundamentally wrong with it.

Hope this might be of some use to anyone looking for an Aerobody Callaway. You can see the ad here. Take care guys.

Justin, it was nice you meet you and your friend.

Best of luck in your search. Youre much kinder to the Roger's car that I was. I have some pics of that car on my cpu.

Anyway I was glad to give you a ride in my car. How fast were we going? 89x2 knows what its like.

The rusty dash screws on that car are a HUGE concern of mine as to how "properly" it was kept over the years...


The asking / list price is about $10k greater than what was paid on e-bay and other than a buff-job, nothing seems to have been done for the car since.

Surf - your car is an absolute rocket! Someone will get a very unique B2K when it changes hands - In the meantime, enjoy!

Josh,

Thanks for the well wishes. It was a pleasure meeting you as well. Regardless of whether I decide to purchase your baby or not, I hope we can keep in contact.

The ride in your car was thrilling! It just reiterated the fact that nothing less than a Callaway will scratch the itch. As for how fast we were going... I was afraid to look at the speedo, but I'm sure that if "The Man" had caught us, it would have been a mandatory dragging from the car and flogging with a night stick for both of us. The alleged beating would have conveniently taken place off camera as well.

Would like to hear your opinions on the Roger's car, just so I can continue to build a knowledge base of what to look for and be concerned about with B2K cars. Thanks.

Justin
