Some interesting vettes on Ebay:

1994 Callaway Supernatural: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2192&item=2484862593&rd=1

1995 ZR1: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18308&item=2484752187&rd=1

Scam written all over them. I've asked to view the Callaway, let's see what shite I get back as an answer...

Supernatural is normally aspirated, mine's a twin turbo so it's abnormally aspirated.

It's probably a SuperUnNatural!

Never heard of a SuperNatural (SNAT) in this country, the US plates on that and the ZR1 don't exactly help the case for those cars being over here...

Apart from that "Callaway" probably not being within 3,000 miles of London, aren't they supposed to have the aero bodywork ?

Aerobody was a pricey option, still available now at about $7500 + fitting + painting. Supposed to be quite delicate too though cars fitted with the kit are worth more than those without.

Been away over the weekend and both those two were waiting in my inbox this morning (E-Bay Corvette E-mails) Knew you'd be talking about them!

They're still there though... taking E-Bay longer to take action these days...

There's so many scam auctions you think they'd have some way of controlling them by now, surely in their own best interests.

Yeah, you can't kid a kidder!!!

Imagine if you really had a car for sale, would you be scared of someone who said "I'd like to have a look at the car", ie, do ya want to sell it or not, pumpkinbrain?

Maybe the "verify the vin with callaway" bit was what did it...

Malc why don't you tell everyone you have been ripping-up the autobahns. You can't be rip-off sentinel 24/7.
