Up for your consideration is a very low mileage and absolutely Gorgeous FACTORY B2K Optioned 1987 Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette Convertible. One of only 63 convertibles built in 1987, and of a total production of approximately445 with the GM option code B2K. At about a 2:1 margin, convertible production is roughly 196 total units from 1987-199, a TRUE rarity and high performance production car. The MSRP was over $55,900 in 1987 ! A true Period Super Car this made 345 HP and 465 Ft-lb. of torque on its way to a top speed of 177.9 MPH ! Documented by the original window sticker included (NOTE : Delivery destination : Old Lyme Connecticut - Callaway Cars shop, along with the original owners manual portfolio and some other documentation and receipts. I also have a recent CarFax. This has been a long term second owner vehicle until very recently (bought in 1991 with 12,000 miles) The car was stored in a beautiful storage facility and travelled only roughly 63 miles in the past 12 years ! The current mileage is just over 15,800 from new ! The entire fuel system was recently rehabbed, including Tank drained and flushed, new fuel pump and filter as well as all TEN (yes ten) Fuel injectors sonically cleaned. Oil was also changed at the same time. The car currently runs drives and functions as it should. The paint, interior and engine bay show at a very high level. I would rate its overall appearance as a 9/10. Finished in dark red metallic with Graphite leather, this Callaway retains ALL of its specific badging and unique emblems, as well as the original megaphone exhaust. The car has only three MINOR flaws I will note : One hairline scratch on the top edge of the passenger door, about an inch long (see photo). The left top of the dash once had a radar detector mounted with Velcro, and two small glue spots remain (may clean off, but I will leave that to you). Lastly, the rear corner of the upper rear drivers door panel trim has a split, but these are easily replaced. Theseare all very nit-picky flaws that can easily be remedied.The plenum was signed and dated by Reeves Callaway in 1991at a car show (see photo). The car appears to have been painted once, A very high quality job with only a minor nib or two from perfect. Wheels are all excellen, shiny with NO curb marks or rash and still retain the RARE original Goodyear "S" Shaved Eagle ZR tires (see photo). The convertible top is excellent and has no tears or visible wear. The interior and Standard leather seatsare allnear perfect. NO wear to the bolsters or edges. This car is in near show condition, and will no doubt be a car that will appreciate in value in the very near future and will surely be a wise investment. Completely original and not upgraded or altered in any way, this will be a very desirable car to the purist. There are VERY few of these available and not many that look this good. Nice enough todrive to shows without the guilt of using a "trailer queen". There are no other comparable High performance, Low production cars like these from this era. ZR-1 production from 1990-1995 was over ten times what Callaway produced.
