Corvettes on eBay: 1991 Callaway Speedster

Here’s your chance to score a rare piece of Corvette history. Currently up for auction on eBay is this silver on blue 1991 Callaway Corvette Speedster. The unique C4 is the eighth of just 10 built in 1991.

You wouldn’t know it from the non-descriptive listing, but this Corvette was basically the top of food chain in the early 1990’s. We all know Callaway Corvettes are rare, but the speedsters take that to another level. All 10 speedsters featured the aerobody package and the signature wrap around windshield. Your speedster could be ordered from a custom color pallet and tailored to your personal tastes.

Under the hood lies the 403hp twin turbo engine featured in all Callaways of that period. Unfortunately, the eBay ad doesn’t even show a photo of that power plant. A six-speed manual transmission sits behind the boosted L98, but the ad lists it as an automatic.

Since the ad is so vague, we did some sleuthing and dug up an article we posted back in 2009 when this car sold for $115,000 at Bloomington Gold. From our old article you can link to the old Mecum Auctions listing which gives us more details. Speedster number 8 wears OZ wheels, silver exterior paint, that striking Wedgewood Blue interior. Additionally it spent time in the famous Otis Chandler and Bob McDorman automotive collections.

We’re not sure where Speedster #8 has been since 2009, but based on the photos shown it does still appear to pretty good condition. The mileage in the eBay listing is shown as 0, but the Carfax report shows just under 2,500 miles as of late 2009.

So head on over to eBay to check out this over the top Corvette. Just be sure to do some homework before throwing down six figures on a Callaway. If we had that much cabbage laying around, we’d be bidding on this one for sure.
