Car number 1 was in a garage about 8 miles from where I live. It is green with a blue interior. The owner showed me his garage and let me sit in the speedster. Amazing car to see in person. Not sure if it is still there as it has been over a decade. Guy had a pretty nice collection of cars.
I spoke with Reeves a few times , kool guy , the Original Callaway ( Twin - Turbo ) Corvettes came with Goodyear Gatorbacks tires , I have a lot of old Callaway Sales Brochures
My father had a Callaway Twin Turbo coupe, bought via Wöhr & Ciccione official dealership in Germany. I spoke to Reeves personally about the Sledgehammer and buying it, as well as Lingenfelter concerning the engine. The body was designed to reduce the original C4 body’s lift and inefficiency. ESPECIALLY the lower side panels were extremely important, as the C4 round belly (similar to first Countach) create tremendous lift. Guldstrand later even sorted out the issues around the glass (especially hatch) with his own body creation. The turbo system was nicknamed “gunslinger” because they hung so low beside the block. Etc etc… Iconic! Best wishes
@@WeAreCurated He was a great, down to earth and very focused man! One of very few, who took OEM grade development and focus on details so seriously back then! That’s why he even received an official dealership order number from Chevrolet. Best wishes
Love it! Most C4 corvettes are totally undervalued for what you get. The Callaway Speedster is criminal how cheap it is. So are the Grand Sports and ZR-1's, they are total bargains. The engineering and tech fitting to this cars at the time was like nothing else you could have! Mark my words because of how special ALL C4 Callaway corvettes are and the Grand Sports AND the ZR-1's are they are all going to go up in value. If you look at the C4's competition at the time ALL those cars have sky rocketed and special C4's have not? These C4's are just has rare and just as special. Keep up the great work Curated!
The quality and diversity of the cars and editing is really good. I just can't stand the dude unfortunately. I can't even really pinpoint it, but he annoys the hell out of me.
Ppl these days don’t care about the history. They just wanna see it doing doughnuts in a intersection while running ppl over. Or ppl straight piping a super car and arguing with police when they get pulled over for their obnoxiously loud car.
My dad was one of the truck drivers that worked for BF Goodrich and Chuck Lombardo when this car was touring. If you were around some of you might remember the bright pink BF Goodrich Semi with the speedster mural on the side of it. It’s amazing to see the car back in the spotlight. RIP
These are just such unique cars! In 2016 I visited the Lingenfelter Collection in Brighton, Michigan, and talked at some length with Ken Lingenfelter about his Callaways. At the time he had a beautiful foam green Speedster but also a later ailver C16 Speedster, based on the C6 Corvette and available as a coupe or speedster version. The headrests of the C16 were designed to be storage for your helmet for when you took the car out on the track! Exterior design for all the Callaways since 1988, including the later C7Aerowagon and the successful C7 GT3-R race car run out of Callaway's Leingarten, Germany, shop, as well as the Sledgehammer, was by Montreal-based designer Paul Deutschman. Nice video reminder of a terrific vehicle. The Lingenfelter Collection is open to visitors during charity events and is well worth the experience.
I can remember seeing the green Callaway in a magazine when I was young and being glued to it for hours, reading the article and thinking that this was the best car in the entire world, hands-down😁✅👻
I’m more of a fan of the history of the car than the body style. But I can appreciate the sharing and education that Curated brings to light with these very special, unique and rare cars from the past. Thank You John 🫵🏻♥️
Love these. When I was a kid we had a white/blue 87 coupe with the nose cone, hood, and TT kit. It was an absolute riot, my grandfather would take me out to do pulls and rolling burnouts
I absolutely agree with you Callaway is for sure top 5 tuner back in the 90's Callaway is in Old Lime Connecticut. I got to visit and get a tour with the tech school I went to in the early 2000's very cool indeed. Also back in the day as well John Lingenfelter was a great tuner for Corvettes and American cars. So the story goes is John Lingenfelter built that engine that was in the Sledgehammer that set the record of 254 MPH. I also own a 1990 Corvette in my picture that was sent to Lingenfelter back in 1997 and had there complete powertrain 383CI package done.
I just got back from Italy. We went to the lamborghini factory.. it was amazing. After i watched the video of you guys going i was super hyped to go. So glad we made the drive.. thanks to you guys ..
Thanks for another wonderful video. As a 1988 Corvette C4 35th Anniversary owner (delivered new in Fort Lauderdale by Ed Morse Chevrolet back in the days) better known as the 'triple white Corvette', I've been saying for decades that not only the Callaway's but also the entire C4 line of Corvette is severely undervalued. In particular the C4 ZR1 with its iconic high-revving LT5 32-valve engine developed by Lotus. Keep up the good work!
Someone in western Massachusetts (Springfield area) used to have the turquoise/greenish color one. I saw it several times in the early 90's. Haven't seen it since!
I remember I went to a mecum auction a while ago where there was a collection of Callaways being sold. One of these was there, as well as the Super Speedster LM. At the time I only thought they were just corvettes, but when I recently rediscovered a picture of me with them, man it hit different. Amazing machines😎
I’m 90% sure this exact car was on a poster on the wall in my high school auto shop. It was mesmerizing to look at and for the longest time I didn’t know what it was. Wish I lived near Miami and could look at it in person.
If I recall correctly, each of the 10 was a unique color was it not? Im 99% sure I saw this exact car at the Sacramento Drag Strip around '92. Im sure my friend still has pictures of it. Great review. Good job Curated!
You definitely saw this car there. I was there too. The owners had another Callaway and were racing it that day. They had just taken delivery of the Speedster and brought it out to show it.
I came here searching for a pink Callaway Micro Machine, missing from my childhood collection. I know almost nothing about cars. This car is gorgeous. I love the colour
I seem to remember a Callaway (not s speedster) Corvette enter the Cannonball Run sponsored by BFG. They had recently introduced run-flat technology and ran a car with holes drilled into the sidewalls to prove they had no air. They ran these tires on the transit stages, then ran regular BFGs for the track sessions for obvious safety reasons. The car made the entire event and was awesome to see such a cool tie-in and an uncommon car.
There is one of those in Colombia, it’s kinda silver, kinda blue, must be super low miles because it’s being years since has been spotted in the streets.
Oh man what a time capsule that car is. I dreamt about that car as a kid. That silver interior is in amazing shape. Imagine having to have that reproduced
I remebre with I first saw the Calloway Vettes and admired them then and still do. Was delighted when a friend gave me his Calloway branded jacket, which I still have. In regard to the video, I note that at @2:54 the build sheet says Bridgestone RE71 tyres, but later, @ 3:57 BF Goodrich tyres are noted as Original Fitment.
I remember a collection of Callaway Vettes crossing the auction block at Barrett Jackson probably 15 to 20 years ago. I think it was 6 cars and one guy bought them all, SledgeHammer was one along with a couple of speedsters.
All Callaway C4s are way undervalued and gems. I'm 20 right now, I really hope the normal TT cars stay relatively the same. Regarding this Speedster, it is wild to me that a car with the same interior as my $7,000 1990 C4 I bought when I was 16 will sell deep into 6 digits...
I've seen a lot of rare cars, but somehow had only seen a Callaway C4 coupe with the full body kit a few years ago and it has a street presence more like a 288 GTO than a typical C4. Photos do not do them justice. They look far more exotic-appropriately wide (stock C4 seemed too skinny to me until the ZR1 and later), more purposefully aggressive (as opposed to stylized aggression on modern cars), with details that make it appear more expensive (the front marker lights/indicators in particular as well as fixing that license plate outline in the front bumper), and for whatever reason, the body looked lighter, if that makes any sense. I remember when the Speedster came out and I loved the way it was done with the sweeping, wrap-around windows. The wild color combos only make them cooler.
I knew where Speedster number 9 was. It was green with green interior. I heard the owner sold it not that long ago though. It was a very cool car! The same guy owned a blue carbon fiber weave C12 Callaway Corvette with bright red interior and another newer Callaway Speedster in a silver blue color with black interior.
Reeves worked at a Porsche dealership as a service advisor that I worked at as a tech in the 70's. we built a 914\6 turbo at night with massive turbo lag. R,I,P, my friend,
I had a callaway, and I absolutely loved that ridiculous thing!! I always thought Chevrolet “copied” the Callaway bumper cover when it came to designing the C-5….
theres another bf goodrich ad with a red callaway maybe supernatural. people dont realize that callaway was one of the first to start turboing cars. people remember the c4 vette but he did vw siracco's and my fav. the gtv6 alfa's and maybe a few more. when people think about tuning the first set like dp, kremer callaway, BB ,RUF, banks zender.. these guys were doing that when turbos werent for cars lol. cheers
I have been saying for roughly 3ish years these vetts will be worth BIG money in the near future. Another FANTASTIC video guys. Always a pleasure watching🤘
I had the Ron Kimball poster on my bedroom wall.. along with the other notable supercars.. I also had a poster of the Lamborghini Cala. Have you seen that one in person?!
We have all sorts of Calleway and other specialty 'Vette's show up at our local car shows. You dont see em all.year long, but the shows they are all over. Hennesey Vipers are also a common sight to see at the shows. You should see some of the wild widebody Vettes in Ontario, Canada. Got some photos of some of the craziest Vettes ever at local shows. Lingenfelter, too.
I saw a very special version of one of these last year. I just sent this video over to that owner. Stunning and a bit different even more rare I believe then this. It is a 700hp version manual and Silver.
Now you need to get your hands on that 1of 1 Corvette Callaway Sledgehammer. It was up for auction about 3 years ago. It got up to that $600,000 range but it didn't get to the reserve. If I was a wealthy man I would have paid up to a million for it. It's a legendary car for kids from the 80's and 90's.
And u get Concourse level First place prize for understatement of my generation, it looks so awful to work on my knuckles hurt just thinking about it and typing this…..for real
I had a feeling one of these would find its way to curated eventually. The diesel like low end torque makes them a super unique driving experience not to mention the styling that takes all the best aspects of 90s design. The speedster is in its own league but even the standard B2Ks are so special for such a low cost of entry.
I feel for all the guys that bought calloways many years ago sat on them and only put say 500 miles on one only to try and sell it and had no profit. They deserve more but are overlooked by the rare Porsche factory cars and the italian cars as we know.
Performance Car magazine was the shit back in the day. British oriented but it had all the cool stuff and great pics. You should read them now just for fun. Clarkson had a column in it.
I've been building my Callaway Collection, and would like to get my hands on this one, and add it to my collection. Vipers, and Corvettes are my favorites to collect.
had a poster of a Calloway on my wall as a kid, even though i was and still am a porsche diehard. the one it poster was wild , like turquoise with a lavender leather interior!!! was wondering when these were going to get on the radar.
Considering the exclusivity of these things and what they represent in terms of being the pinnacle of U.S automotive engineering at the time, I too am amazed they are not worth at least twice as much as they are. Stunning car.
Another awesome video, awesome car! Love it! But my mind goes back as always to Lamborghini and I before I forget yet again I have been meaning to pitch the the purple SE 30 Diablo from Jamiroquai's "Cosmic Girl" music video. It's rumored that a delivery driver wrecked the windshield in the first car. The found another and then somehow the window got wrecked in that one so they had to shoot the video without the window (you can tell when you watch it). Maybe you've heard of those cars, there was an F40 as well, maybe not. They are my favorite group of all time, Jay is a massive car collector and it would be cool to know what ever happened to those cars!
One thing on those twin turbo Callaway's was on the front of the throttle bodies where two extra fuel injectors. I believe they were only used under wide open throttle.
@WildTimeStudios Tight handling, not all that fast or quick I should say. Just went up and down the road once, didnt want to wreck it. The turbos came on smoother than I expected.
That exterior just pops. interesting to see how well that interior has held up as a lot of those 80’s and 90’s GM vehicles just fell apart, even the pins under those door handles. Remember the Lingenfelter Corvette?!
Car number 1 was in a garage about 8 miles from where I live. It is green with a blue interior. The owner showed me his garage and let me sit in the speedster. Amazing car to see in person. Not sure if it is still there as it has been over a decade. Guy had a pretty nice collection of cars.

I had a poster of the green car on my wall as a kid and also the black 25th anniversary countach 😊
The color they picked for this one was insane. Just a gorgeous time capsule. Thanks for sharing every inch of this beauty!

This was my Poster car in the 1990s in my Bedroom as a Teenager!
I totally agree that these are undervalued. I think people dont understand its NOT just a Corvette!
About time. Callaways are the best cars of their eras and so undervalued.
Its so wild to me that this channel is so slept on, the content is unbelievable.
The quality and diversity of the cars and editing is really good. I just can't stand the dude unfortunately. I can't even really pinpoint it, but he annoys the hell out of me.

Likewise
1800 miles. I can't imagine getting a car like that and not driving it every opportunity I get!
It really is pointless
I’d want everyone seeing it if I owned that
I definitely had the green version on a poster in 93 or 94. Who remembers the Mustang Mach 3? I had a black model in 1:18.. Damn good times gone by!
@TheRealCatofthats definitely not why he doesn’t drive it 😂

Nah Callaway fully built the Sledgehammer. John Lingenfelter drove it to 254 MPH.
I remember seeing Callaway ads in the DuPont Registry when it was in the back pages of Automobile Magazine.
Great camera work on this video. What a gorgeous car!
I had the two page Goodrich ad hanging on my wall like a poster,
Wild that the interior upgrade costs more than the engine upgrade
I just got back from Italy. We went to the lamborghini factory.. it was amazing. After i watched the video of you guys going i was super hyped to go. So glad we made the drive.. thanks to you guys ..
I really wanted one of these when I was about 12. The condition of that car is amazing. It looks brand new.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Back in the early to mid 1990’s, I would see this car at all the Northern California Corvette shows and events.

That front bumper really looks like it's from a C5. I wonder if it inspired the design of the then-future Vette.
Love these c4 corvette there so much fun to drive
Yes that micro machine Callaway came out in 1990. I feel old lol (40)
I remember seeing the teal one at Bob Mcdorman Chevrolet's Covette car show,it was so cool.
All Callaway C4s are way undervalued and gems. I'm 20 right now, I really hope the normal TT cars stay relatively the same. Regarding this Speedster, it is wild to me that a car with the same interior as my $7,000 1990 C4 I bought when I was 16 will sell deep into 6 digits...

In Toronto seen one at dealership
C4 twin turbo Callaway with 5 star magnesium wheels also c4 LM corvette racer bug headlamps
It’s refreshing to see an American car on the channel. Keep it up 👍

That's friggin EPIC!! That was friggin EXPENSIVE, too!! 167k in 1990 is close to 400k today!!
Such a great episode! Once again, a phenomenal story, vehicle, and work to bring this one to light. Thank you!
I have a 1990 Callaway aerobody car. But I wish I had a Speedster!
Do you have any more c4 Callaway tt’s?
Thank you John for this experience. Well done! 👍🏻 👍
My pleasure!
I don’t see these going up in value much but you’ve had a good eye for figuring out the cars that will appreciate so far. Good luck
I had a callaway, and I absolutely loved that ridiculous thing!! I always thought Chevrolet “copied” the Callaway bumper cover when it came to designing the C-5….
theres another bf goodrich ad with a red callaway maybe supernatural. people dont realize that callaway was one of the first to start turboing cars. people remember the c4 vette but he did vw siracco's and my fav. the gtv6 alfa's and maybe a few more. when people think about tuning the first set like dp, kremer callaway, BB ,RUF, banks zender.. these guys were doing that when turbos werent for cars lol. cheers
Would love to see something on the sledgehammer corvette, I remember as a kid i was always amazed how fast it went compared to other exotic stuff
I have been saying for roughly 3ish years these vetts will be worth BIG money in the near future.
Another FANTASTIC video guys. Always a pleasure watching🤘
Awesome car and such a change of pace. Great content as usual John. Still waiting for your first Pantera!
I had the Ron Kimball poster on my bedroom wall.. along with the other notable supercars.. I also had a poster of the Lamborghini Cala.
Have you seen that one in person?!
Damn son, a corvette on your channel?!! That car is killer, love seeing it. Thanks! Keep the stories coming.

Stunning and a bit different even more rare I believe then this. It is a 700hp version manual and Silver.
The Corvette Callaway Sledgehammer has 890hp if it's the one you're talking about.
Now you need to get your hands on that 1of 1 Corvette Callaway Sledgehammer. It was up for auction about 3 years ago. It got up to that $600,000 range but it didn't get to the reserve. If I was a wealthy man I would have paid up to a million for it. It's a legendary car for kids from the 80's and 90's.
Changing the spark plugs, intake gaskets, thermostat, water pump, or exhaust manifold gaskets would be a bitch.
And u get Concourse level First place prize for understatement of my generation, it looks so awful to work on my knuckles hurt just thinking about it and typing this…..for real
I need to feel what a ride in this feels like😩
Love it. SLEDGEHAMMER
Look at that interior (commence Homers trademark gurgle). Just gorgeous.
I had the poster of the neon green one on my wall as a kid. Still have it stashed somewhere too.
I had a feeling one of these would find its way to curated eventually.

Ive only driven 1 Corvette in my life, and luckily enough it was the Twin Turbo Callaway Convertable.
@WildTimeStudios Tight handling, not all that fast or quick I should say. Just went up and down the road once, didnt want to wreck it. The turbos came on smoother than I expected.
That exterior just pops. interesting to see how well that interior has held up as a lot of those 80’s and 90’s GM vehicles just fell apart, even the pins under those door handles. Remember the Lingenfelter Corvette?!
It is insane to me that CuratedTV doesn't have a million subs yet
Had a poster of this on my wall when I was a kid.
Could you imagine a cracking or breaking a window or windshield. Good luck finding a replacement! 💯💯
