Rare 1995 Chevy Camaro Callaway C8 Mecum Las Vegas Bound

Debuting for the 1993 model year, the Chevy Camaro entered its fourth generation with a full revamp featuring cleaner, more aerodynamic bodywork. The interior was much changed as well, with dual airbags, a conventional glove box, redesigned dash with analog gauges and tachometer in available for all models.

The next year, the folks at Callaway Cars in Old Lyme, Connecticut, got hold of the new Chevy Camaro, and came up with a range of appearance and performance goodies for it. These items differed from the Corvette packages of the 1980s that had previously been offered, in that owners could pick and choose what they wanted. The Camaro Callaway C8 offered big performance for a much lower price than a Callaway Corvette for far less money.  Callaway built just eighteen SuperNatural (so named because the cars were all naturally aspirated) Camaro C8s from 1994 to 1996, thirteen coupes and five convertibles. Engine modifications included an LT1-based 383 cubic-inch stroked Small Block with forged internals, a Callaway intake, Callaway CC3 cam, and ported cylinder heads with billet roller rockers. Engine performance could be tuned to 425, 435, 450, or 465 horsepower. The highest horsepower option was capable of reaching a manufacturer-claimed 100 kilometer per hour (62 mph) from a dead stop in just over four seconds, on its way to a 12.1-second quarter mile and a 177 mph top speed.

The Chevy Camaro Callaway C8 CamAero bodywork was designed by Paul Deutschman, the same gentleman who designed the Twin Turbo Corvette Aerobody. The Camaro C8 had a lower, longer nose, a lower body revamp with fiberglass door skins and rocker panels, and a less cluttered rear fascia. There were gills just aft of the front and rear wheels, the headlights were hidden behind clear covers, and aftermarket wheels were fitted.

Our feature 1995 Chevy Camaro Callaway SuperNatural C8 is number three of the eighteen cars produced. It has been a featured car on the March 1995 issue of Road and Track magazine and was tested in the June 1995 issue Car and Driver magazine. The Camaro is finished in Bright Red over a black leather interior, and is optioned with the 383 cubic-inch LT1 that feeds power to a six-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter, Callaway stainless headers, Brembo cross-drilled disc brakes, Koni adjustable shocks, Callaway springs, stabilizer bars, panhard rods, and trailing arms, a Callaway strut tower brace. A dash plaque signed by Reeves Callaway, books, records, design and development history, a certificate of authenticity, and a hard cover presentation book signed by Reeves Callaway are all included in the sale.

This rare Chevy Camaro Callaway SuperNatural C8 will cross the Mecum Auctions block at their Las Vegas, Nevada event taking place November 9^th through the 11^th.
