1989 Chevrolet Corvette Callaway Twin Turbo Convertible

Vehicle Description 1989 Chevrolet Corvette $65,000 1989 Chevrolet Corvette Callaway Twin Turbo Convertible Starting in 1987, the Callaway Twin Turbo package could be ordered from select Chevrolet dealers under Regular Production Option, (RPO), code B2K. The B2K package cost $19,995 on top of the cost of a standard Corvette, resulting in an out the door price of approximately $50,000. Best of all, it was supported by GM's standard warranty, exactly like a regular Corvette. During the five year production run, there were less than 500 examples produced. For consignment, a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette Callaway twin turbo convertible showing 6,467 miles, but the true miles are unknown. About 68 twin turbo Callaway Corvettes were produced in 1989 and only 25 of them were convertibles. Exterior This stunning spec begins with Corvette's renowned Nassau Blue Metallic which is complemented by the white canvas top, but we're guessing this will be reserved for top down weather and we don't blame you if you want to stow it away! The Aerobody kit adds aggressive ribbed openings and a smooth front fascia with aggressive looking ducts on the nose, all in an effort to lower the drag coefficient. When you blow by cars on the road, they're going to get a quick look at the fantastic treatment that changes the inset tail lights to outward oval units with convex demarcation for the lights. Twin exhaust tips exit below the center of the rear bumper and 17-inch wheels carry 285/40ZR17 tires with an early 2022 date code. Imperfections are hard to come by but include a scratch, some inclusions, a stain on the white top, and a single chip. Interior The clean door panels are a mix of plastic, vinyl and carpet in varying shades of blending blue along with typical black switchgear and hardware. Bright Blue leather covers the bucket seats and even the seat belts match. We note some wear on the entry point of the driver's seat but otherwise the high and supportive buckets are in nice shape. Up front, it's the original C4 steering wheel and dashboard with arching green digital displays just before Chevrolet went to a more analog configuration in 1990. The center stack contains the status computer along Callaway's boost gauge, an AM/FM radio, the A/C panel and the exclusive Callaway Twin Turbo emblem. A wide center console houses the shifter and the Callaway plate that shows this is car #002. Bright blue carpet covers the footwells and cargo area, both places including black carpeted mats on top. Drivetrain This engineering marvel makes itself known with skyward facing twin intercoolers on each side of the 5.7 liter L98's intake plenum and the Mobil 1 branding adds to their race inspired credibility. This powerplant puts out 382 horsepower during an era when mere mortal Vettes were putting out about 245. This one is equipped with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the limited slip rear axle with 2.59 gears. The bay presents cleanly with some added blue features including the wires, compressor hose inlet, and intercooler rubber hose connections. Undercarriage Fantastically clean underneath with a dual exhaust system that lacks mufflers and is stainless steel from the cats back, concluding at the twin tips with center exit. Power disc brakes are on board and the fully independent suspension is a complex compilation of aluminum and steel components with each end featuring a monoleaf spring and steel stabilizer. Drive-Ability Our short jaunt around the test loop proves that Callaway meant business when they beefed up the fairly potent factory 5.7. You won't miss shifting in this one as both hands will comfortably and gratefully grab the steering wheel. Power, handling, tracking and braking all in the positive column and all functions on this nice example, with the exception of the up and down driver's power mirror function, work as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. If you've always wanted to feel the wind in your hair and have a view of the sky while motoring, carving canyons, or cruising the Pacific Coast Highway, we can't think of a better vehicle for your desires than a Nassau Blue convertible Callaway Corvette! Collectible, rare, and wildly fun. 1G1YY3189K5105247 1-USA G-General Motors 1-Chevrolet YY-Corvette 3-Convertible 1-Manual Belts 8-350ci V8 EFI 240hp 9-Check Digit K-1989 5-Bowling Green, KY Assy Plant 105247-Sequential Unit Number Classic Auto Mall is home to more than 1,000 classic and collectible vehicles for sale via consignment in a climate controlled 336,000-square foot showroom (that's more than 8 acres!).
