Default Craigslist Callaway in Thompson Ga. Isnt this kind of cheap?

1988 Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette

Not my car but it caught my eye because even with the issues it has this seems extremely cheap. Do you guys think this price is in line? Im not interested but figured someone here might be.

There was one for sale in my area for 10k a few years ago, I think someone at the other place bought it. Seems cheap for what you get...

Seems right for this car, not too special or attractive.

I can't stand red interiors either, BUT the ad did say MANUAL tranny, not auto...

Didn't look like it. Small shifter with button on top, in what looks like "Park" position, and only 2 pedals I can see. I will grant that the "brake" pedal looks small, but I only see two.

Ugh, still.

Looks like a manual shifter with the shift pattern on top...brake pedal is small but I can't see the clutch.

The pedal you can see IS the clutch pedal. the brake pedal is recessed more and you can barely see that in the photo. As with all C4's, the gas pedal is right up next to the carpet- there isn't much room on either side of the pedals for yor feet.

The shifter is definitely the ZF one. The lift ring is the reverse lockout.
I also don't see the auto trans dipstick in the engine bay.

That car sold a couple of years ago for around $12k, if it's the same one I remember?

Haven't been on here for quite some time. Too many projects, not enough time in a day...
