If a one-year-only 2019 Corvette ZR1 isn’t enough for you, how about adding a custom Callaway AeroWagen package to the mix?
That’s what the owner of this Arctic White Corvette did, and now his custom one-of-a-kind ZR1 is up for sale on Bring a Trailer, where the current bid is $99,999 with five days left.
The unique styling of the AeroWagen is sure to polarize our readers, some of whom think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread and others think it’s sacrilegious to mess with the ultimate front-engine Corvette.
Wheels Boutique of Miami, Florida did the $54,000 conversion – said to be the only time it’s been done to a ZR1 so far – that started with the installation of a shooting brake-style carbon-fiber hatch assembly with an upper spoiler, halo bar, tempered glass window with defogger, and carbon-fiber rear spoiler. They also added an Akrapovič titanium exhaust system, KW coilovers, and AL13 wheels inside in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
The fun continues with the standard supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter LT5 V8 engine with a 95mm throttle body, dry-sump lubrication, and fuel injection with both direct and port fuel delivery, good for 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque. By the way, it’s also connected to a seven-speed manual transmission.
The car left the Bowling Green assembly plant as a 3ZR model with the Track Performance Package and was delivered to MacMulkin Chevrolet in New Hampshire, with an MSRP of $142,595. It’s been driven just 7,000 miles since.
Inside, you’ll find black Competition Sport bucket seats with orange stitching and a multitude of equipment like a performance data and video recorder, front curb-view cameras, back-up camera, head-up display, and Bose sound system.
So which side do you fall in – a lover or a hater of this radical conversion?

Can I fit my 2 grand kids in back window area of it like I did my 2 kids in my 80 and 81 Vettes? They wont fit in my 2023 HTC.
I hate the looks of the AeroWagon. I would think that ugly conversion would kill the value of a C7 ZR1.
Looks like one of those bubble top soccer mom SUBs. Barf!
I don’t understand the “controversy”. It’s just a different (and expensive) rear hatch gate mounted on the car, not any permanent modification. It can be switched back to an OEM hatch in about an hour. Buy the car and sell the Callaway hatch for $20k on BaT to someone who wants one. It’ll fit on any C7.
Who in their right mind would want to junk up the looks of their C7 with this too expensive hideous looking thing even though it can be switched out? I’ve only seen one C7 in person with it and I didn’t like it at all. But to each his own.
Swap it back to the OEM hatch and some people wouldn’t have to hate it anymore. Unless they don’t like the color white. I don’t like the wheels,but they also can be swapped out. Some people just got to hate. What else on it is hate able? Nice Vette either way.
Not sure which is worse…the hatch or the wheels. Who spends lots of money to make something look “questionable” at best?
