AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!

NEVER BEFORE OFFERED FOR SALE!!!!

According to Callaway records only 4 Camaro Supernatural C-8 Areobody convertibles were built. (2 in 1995 and 2 in 1996). This C8 Callaway Camaro was ordered by the late Otis Chandler, former owner and publisher of the Los Angeles Times. The original re-invoiced price was over $60,000. Options include aerobody modifications, 383 blueprinted Supernatural engine modifications, Brembo front brakes, Cat-back exhaust, OZ wheels and Hurst shifter. The Callaway conversion options cost over $32,000. This was the only Old Lyme Green Callaway Camaro built. Otis Chandler wanted the Camaro to match his Callaway Corvette speedster. The Camaro spent 5 years in his world class auto museum before being sold to his curator, who is the current owner. The Camaro was on display at the LA Auto Show, featured in Playboy magazine and several other publications. This Camaro is extremely rare and would make a great addition to any modern muscle car collection.

Usually I will describe the vehicle condition broken down in catagories by body, interior, trunk, underside, engine, top and trunk, giving a detailed description of each. Since these are all in new condition and completely original on this very rare collector Callaway nothing else need be said. The pictures speak for themselves.

The current odometer reading is just over 6163 miles and may vary a little at the time of sale.

The Callaway was listed for sale in early August 2013. To the surprise of the current owner Auto Check and Car Fax listed an accident report filed 6/22/10. The Camaro has never been in an accident or had any issue in the past or present. I am still working on resolving this.

This is a 2 owner car and has spent most of her life in a show room setting. I have spent countless hours trying to get to the bottom of how this is even popping up. Auto Check told me the current registered owner will need to have them subpoena them in order to obtain any information they have reported on his car. Unbelievable! We have learned through our research that this is not uncommon to have erroneous information filed on a vehicle through Auto Check and Car Fax. Also there does not need to be any damage to a vehicle for a report to have been filed.

I am selling this Callaway Camaro for the current owner. Feel free to call me (714) 292-3932. It is also for sale outside of ebay so unless the reserve is met I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The Camaro is available for inspection by self or an inspection company of your choice.

I am more than happy to answer any questions so please ask questions before bidding. Also ask to bid if you have less than 10 positive feedbacks. Been burned too many times in the past. I will cancel bids with less than 10 positive feedbacks if you do not ask before bidding!

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. There are many transport companies out there. I have found that Uship is a great way to find a shipper too.

$500 deposit via Paypal is due within 3 days of end of the auction. Remainder due within 7 days via Cash in person, Wire, Cashiers Check or Money Order.


On Feb-14-14 at 19:55:14 PST, seller added the following information:

I realized I forgot to add information regarding the documentation on this VERY RARE Callaway Camaro. As any collector knows documentation is everything when it come to a car of this caliber and pedigree. This is a highly documented Callaway Camaro. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the best documented of the 2 built in 1995. The paperwork goes all the way back to the original window sticker on the Camaro Convertible before it went to Callaway for the conversion. There is even documented communication between Otis Chandler himself and Callaway. You'll be hard pressed to find a better documented collector car.

What if the mid-engine Corvette is really a Cadillac?

Tue, Jun 28 2016

Call me crazy, but I'm not convinced the mid-engine Corvette is the next Corvette. The rumor is strong, yes. And, contrary to some of the comments on our site, Car and Driver - leader of the mid-engine Corvette speculation brigade - has a pretty good record predicting future models. But it's another comment that got me thinking: or maybe it's a Cadillac. There is clearly something mid-engine going on at GM, and I think it makes sense for the car to be a Cadillac. First off, check out how sweet the 2002 Cadillac Cien concept car still looks in the photo above. Second, there are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. There are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. The C7 is relatively young in Corvette years, starting production almost three years ago as a 2014 model. Showing a 2019 model at the 2018 North American International Auto Show would kill sales of a strong-selling car before its time. Not to mention it would only mean a short run for the Grand Sport, which was the best-selling version of the previous generation. More stuff doesn't add up. Mid-engine cars are, in general, more expensive. Moving the Vette upmarket leaves a void that the Camaro does not fill. There's not much overlap between Camaro and Corvette customers. Corvette owners are older and enjoy features like a big trunk that holds golf clubs. Mid-engine means less trunk space and alienating a happy, loyal buyer. Also, more than 60 years of history. The Corvette is an icon along the likes of the Porsche 911 and Ford Mustang. I'm not sure the car-buying public wants a Corvette that abandons all previous conventions. And big changes bring uncertainty - I don't think GM would make such a risky bet. Chevrolet could build a mid-engine ZR1, you might say, and keep the other Corvettes front-engine. Yes they could, and it would cost a ton of money. And they still need to fund development of that front-engine car. I highly doubt the corporate accountants would go for that. But a Cadillac? Totally. Cadillac is in the middle of a brand repositioning. GM is throwing money at this effort. A mid-engine halo car is the just the splash the brand needs to shake off the ghosts of Fleetwoods past. And it's already in Cadillac President Johan De Nysschen's playbook. He was in charge of Audi's North America arm when the R8 came out. A Caddy sports car priced above $100,000 isn't that unreasonable when you can already price a CTS-V in that range.

GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan

Wed, Mar 15 2017

GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones – timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.

As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
