Hello all, new member here. We own a 2006 Callaway Supernatural 550. We’ve had the car for about 2-3 years. I didn’t realize the forum existed until recently. Glad I found it!

Greetings All
I am a lucky new Callaway TT owner !
The short story - I was at the Mecum Auction in Harrisburg with no intentions of buying anything when I saw this beautiful 1987 Coupe come up & for some reason I just started bidding on her. It's number 188; stilling learning about the car and Callaway but it was not an RPO coded car and the conversion was done at about 8K miles in 1989. It has the automatic trans and 17" Dymag options. I am the 4th owner and it seems to have been very well taken care of and it has just over 33K miles.
It came with great documentation.
Hope to meet some of you at Carlisle next week!
Cheers ! :beer

Hi... I'm a new forum member and first time Callaway owner. I recently purchased 89 #027 out of Oregon and have been enjoying becoming more familiar with the car, and CTTCs in general (my Corvette experience has been limited to C4 ZR-1s until now). The car has 33k on the clock, and has the aerobody package, coilovers, big wonderbar, and was modified with a Lingenfelter-built 389cid engine with auto conversion (the original Callaway engine and 6 speed were included in the purchase and are palletized in storage). The car runs strong and seems to be well-known and documented, so I'm hoping that the group (especially previous owners or those who know the car) has much more to tell me than I have to say about it. Here is a picture of the car, but I'll post more in the picture thread.

Interesting... thanks, Chris! When I got some more time, I'll have to pick your brain to see what you remember about the car, hopefully at an event soon (although I heard that I may get transferred overseas very soon, and that may complicate things for me).

Hello everyone,
I just purchased a 1988 CTTC with some what of a sketchy past but a great buy for the money. I will sum up my situation. It's a 1988 white coupe CTTC with Dymag wheels #34. the carfax states a problem and a rebuilt title but title is clear and when I inspected the car it shows no signs of an accident. But the first thing that caught my eye was the Callaway badge in the car says #33 but the chassis, VIN and engine numbers all say #34. also the interior was switched out from Tan to Red which led me to believe there was some kind of water damage. The car is originally from Illinois.
There doesn't seem to be to much traffic on this page as of late, but if anyone can help with the history it would be much appreciated. I will attach some images.
Kind Regards,
Chris

Nice score :thumbs

Please call or email Callaway Cars and tell them the Vin
They have a database of how the car left their factory and maybe even maintenance too.

:hi

Curious about the plaque too , I will dig into my archives and try to find all about 33 and 34

Hi Jeroenvgfn,
I'm all ready registered with Callaway cars as the owner of #34. the Vin checks out. It was a dealer car that was sent to Old Lyme to get the TT so it doesn't have the B2K option from the factory. I have a copy of the Window sticker and options list, everything adds up except the badge.
here are a few more pix.

Hello Luigi, not really a new member , Chris used to call me "Jonny Cash" one piece at a time. I had an 07 C6 that had Callaway options but not the supercharger.
I own a 2013 ZO6 with 2,800 miles on it still hoping to get the conversion done. Thanks, Jeff.

Hello from Nebraska! I found my 88 Callaway Convertible #16 last year in West Virginia. I have found some info on my cars past on this site and that’s great. PO didn’t have much info on it. I posted some pics in the required pic section. I hope to be able to take it to some Corvette shows next year. It took a while but I am glad to join all of you here. Kevin :hi
