AutoArt Corvette Callaway C12

I found this on Craigslist for only $20 without box & couldn't pass it up. I had planned on selling it, but every time I get it out, I change my mind.  The yellow is metallic & really shines in person. Cool styling outside & typical '90's GM on the inside...though Callaway does its best to dress up the Corvette C5's interior.

more info on the C12...

The Callaway C12 was originally created to win the GT2 class at Le Mans. In fact, a Callaway C12.R took the class pole position at Le Mans in 2001, beating Porsche, Ferrari and other world-class marques. Subsequently produced Callaway C12 road cars utilized much of the C12.R technology, but configured to present the driver with a refined sportscar with excellent road car manners.

Built in conjunction with the IVM Engineering Group of Germany, the C12 project was a combined effort of Callaway Cars (USA) and Callaway Competition (Germany). With styling provided by Callaway’s accomplished designer, Paul Deutschman, the C12 used the 1997-2004 Corvette platform as a donor vehicle, transforming an already-great car into a world beater. With the completely new body a full two meters wide to take advantage of Le Mans dimensional regulations, Callaway engineers developed the C12 coil-over suspension with its own unique control arm forgings and tuned, adjustable dampers. C12.R power was provided by highly tuned, naturally aspirated LS-series engines built by Callaway to Le Mans specs, while C12 road cars were powered by the SuperNatural version of the new LS-series Corvette engines.

Only 25 Callaway C12 road cars were ever produced, purchased at an average price of approximately $200,000. They are still coveted by leading car collectors worldwide.
