Badging on twin turbo's

[pandrews]

Can someone tell me what year corvette twin turbos did Callaway put the Callaway front and rear badge inserts on instead of the normal corvette ones. My 87 has the normal corvette badges and I was wondering if they were correct.

I believe all of the cars had the emblem inserts.

Front hood and rear fuel access door are Callaway specific emblems. “B” Pillar (one on each side), and passenger side rear beltline, center console build placard “__of__”, and left of gauge cluster “Premium fuel only” placard, along with rear hatch “Callaway Twin Turbo” stickers is about it.

Thanks for the information. Good to know. From most of the pictures I see of 87's nearly all seem to have the standard corvette inserts in the nose and rear badges which is why I was asking. I guess they have all been changed like mine has or did some possibly not get done when the cars were converted at Callaway?

1987 cars, at some point, were sent the inserts for the front/rear emblems, plus a smaller one for the horn button. There was also an intercooler side tank plaque w/ timing specs sent.

Most of these items are still available for a cost. You can source, by calling Callaway Cars in CT. I hope this helps.

Thanks Chris. I am new to Callaway corvettes and that explains what I am seeing on a lot of 87's. On my convertible the inserts were obviously not fitted even though the oil pump modification was done so there must have been some contact from Callaway to the owner. The car had been in storage for 25 years before I purchased it and came as is with no Callaway paperwork. Now that I know the car is supposed to have the badge inserts I will contact Joanne and order them. Thanks again for your help.
