Reeves Callaway is perhaps the most impressive American car tuner from the '80s and '90s. The impeccable design, coupled with jaw dropping performance makes his Callaway Speedster one of the most epic cars to come out of the United States in the 1990s. The Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette, the coupe version, set a top speed record at 254 MPH. American cars are certainly not our specialty, but as car enthusiasts we recognize greatness everywhere. Callaway Corvettes are without a doubt some of the most radical and exciting cars from the era, and they have the price tag to match!
In the constant pursuit of pairing the world’s best automobiles with the world’s best collectors, CURATED Miami has specialized in Vintage Blue Chip European Automobiles since 2016 - specifically low production cars built by the likes of Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and more. CURATED continues to pave the way for the next generation of collectors chasing the “poster cars” of their youth. Co-founder John Temerian, often called the Indiana Jones of car collecting, truly understands the importance of history, details, and provenance and CURATED is dedicated to educating and supporting new custodians, empowering them to preserve and celebrate these rare icons. Known for our inventory of some of the most rare examples of Ferarris and Lamborghinis ever produced, CURATED has a passionate global following, comprised of enthusiasts, experts, influencers and celebrities.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
@sonei985
@sonei985 5 месяцев назад
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...

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.

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.

I had a feeling one of these would find its way to curated eventually.

The speedster is in its own league but even the standard B2Ks are so special for such a low cost of entry.
