The Callaway twin-turbo "Sledgehammer" C4 went 254.76MPH. After being driven from Connecticut to Ohio. And after hitting that mark, it was driven back to Connecticut. :lol: With its factory radio and air conditioning, no less.

This Hemmings article is from a few years ago when it went up for auction. It didn't meet its reserve and I haven't read anything about it in the years since. This was one of those cars that was on my worship list as a kid. Doesn't seem like it was nearly 30 years ago.

Did you post this for just me? hahaha

That car was at Carlisle - Callaway was the tribute theme this year. I really want one of their twin turbo setups. Too bad it'd cost multiples of what the car is worth.

Given how nutty 60's musclecar pricing went a few years ago (and still is, to some extent), $600k doesn't sound totally unreasonable for that car, which, while relatively unknown outside car-freak circles, was pretty groundbreaking at the time.

What's a RUF CTR worth these days?

I am waiting for a normal restored 68-69 4spd small block (327-350) Camero covertable to be a reasonable price but that probably won’t ever happen.

I was never a big fan of vette’s in the 80’s.

What's a Camero?

It is a typo car. :)

:lol:

Fuckers!!

Classic car values generally are stupid these days, but the 911 tax is especially insane.

I guess it should be heartening? It must mean the economy isn’t doing so bad.
