Description:
Here are a few of my Callaway C8s. They are odd looking, but they are rare. Only 17 built in 94-96. Most are 400hp, which is meager compared to today, but 400 emmissions and noise compliant horse power was unheard of in 1994. The only other car that had that power was a Ferrari F40. The teal vert and the silver coupe are 450hp cars.

Enjoy

There are only 2 1994 Callaway C8 convertibles built. This one, and my teal 450hp car. They take a little getting used to, but the nose grows on you.

This car has the prototype Callaway C8 valve covers that were machined at Callaway. The engine pictured in the Callaway C8 brochure is from this car. Fun Trivia fact: the same CNC machine that milled these valve covers also milled all of the aluminum covers for Madonnas "SEX" books...

This is the first complete Callaway C8 ever built. It was featured in the November 1994 Issue #100 of Sports Car Illustrated.

This engine in the Callaway brochure is the actual engine from C8 sn001. Pretty stout for an LT1, but tame compared to today's LS's

Arguably, the best looking end... This car is fully loaded, with Brembo F40 brakes, Aerobody, Suspension and panhard bar upgrades, Bridgestone RunFlat Wheels and Tires, SuperNatural 400, stainless headers and cat back, Hurst Shifter, and Rosewood interior accents(I hate that damn Rosewood)

The only other 1994 C8 Convertible. This one is a 450hp automatic. It is the only Teal car built for the US. There was another one built in Germany.

This one is also nicely loaded, with the SuperNatural 450hp, Brembo F40 Brakes(yes, actually off an F40 Ferrari), Stainless headers and Cat Back, Honker intake, Lowered Suspension, Panhard bar, and strut brace; Callaway leather, OZ Monte Carlos, Roll Bar, and luckily, no Rosewood interior accents (who liked those anyway??)

My wife's 1995 C8. This car is unique because it is a Berger/Callaway. It was ordered through Berger Chevrolet of Grand Rapids, MI. It is also fully loaded, with RunFlat Bridgestones, although the previous owner polished them. It also has the dreaded Rosewood!!!

The interior and carpet were completely removed at Callaway to install DynaMat throughout the car. It is silent inside. They also recovered the seats in Leather, however, they did it to look stock. There is that damn Rosewood!! Argh

My 1995 Callaway C8. This car was purchased here, on LS1Tech. It was the only PoloGreen Callaway C8 ever built, and I have taken it apart to completely restore it to its original color.

This was also a very rare Bridgestone RunFlat equipped car, but the second owner removed them in favor of these. Needless to say, these are history...

Everything under the hood is back to the original color. It is not my favorite, but it is very unique.

It has Callaway Commemorative C8 wheels off of a 2002, but I am removing them in favor of the original OZ Monte Carlos. I much prefer these, but I am a sucker for originality
