I'd take that thing in a second but I think they guy actually wants money for it. Something I am lacking. Is it me or do you guys think the interior is kinda fugly??? I don't care too much for the wood trim and stripes on the seats.

Hi Alfred,

I noticed something in the modifications section. This car is identified as a C8/435 but it has the SN450 engine. So technically it is a C8/450 Callaway. He must have had the SN400 originally because at the time of conversion that was the only package available. In '95 or '96 they came out with the SN435 package which was basically the SN400 with some upgraded components. Then they came out with the SN450 (and actually there was an SN440 for a short time). I know these things because I'm the one who sold Alfred his Callaway Camaro.

I agree about the interior. That particular interior was the first leather package Callaway offered. I don't believe it sold very well because of the high visibility yellow and red stripes. The wood trim kit also didn't sell that well. They actually had two wood-tones.

Like I was telling Alfred earlier, I almost went with the aero kit (which makes the Camaro a true Callaway C8 Camaro), but seeing it in the photo I'm glad I chose to work my exterior mods around the stock body. I did see a red non-T-top Callaway C8 during one of my many trips to Callaway's shop in Old Lyme and I have to say that that particular model done with the aero kit is very sharp because of the red top. The black top with the aero kit doesn't look as nice in my opinion.

With the nice weather coming to the northeast soon I'm sure I going to start missing my Callaway Camaro a whole lot. My loss and Alfred's gain.

Peace!

Poppy, I agree your old Callaway looked much better to me. I don't care for that nose at all or that wood & color striped interior.
