There is a 93 40th anniversery ZR-1 Callaway Super natural special performance package for sale at Corvettes of Houston. Only 15K miles on it for $38K. I'm gonna go check it out after work.

That's really cool. Any details on what a ZR-1 "Callaway Package" entails?

From what I've gathered the callaway package consists of a 475hp LT5 with top end porting and some head work. Coilover shocks and special callaway interior. The infamous Brad taylor has a 92 one of these and that SOB is wickedly fast. But this one is probably an 11 sec car. And I think they only made 15 of these. It has everything going for it. 93 405hp LT5 40th anniversary 475hp callaway supernatural package and only 15k on the clock. Not your run of the mill ZR-1's that's for sure. Corvettes of Houston is only 5 miles from where I work so I plan to check it out.

This one doesn't have the interior. That was additional as was the coil-overs. Can't tell if this one has coil-overs or not but it does have OZ wheels.

Based on the stance, it looks like it has coilovers.

Looks like there were more than 15 made. Says 1 of 245 ever made. Wonder who the previous owner was and if someone in the ZR-1 community knows. Might just be a private collector. I'll get an up close personal look at it tommorrow. Just wasn't able to make it before they closed today.
Not sure this would be a special enough ZR-1 worth taking out a 2nd on your house for but then again! Now I'm not incinuating anything here, I'm just saying. hehehe!

In 1993, there were 245 Ruby Anniversary ZR-1s produced, not 245 Callaway ZR-1s in 1993. The add isn't accurate enough.

Sure would be nice to see some facts about these cars posted up. Hear about snake skinners all day long but not so much about these.

Found some more facts about them to post up from an owner.**********
This is how you tell the difference. 1 the work order from callaway and on the back window is a decal saying callaway 475 super natural. most of the cars have brembo brakes and coilovers . the motors are ported including the heads ,but the porting in actual fact is very minimal, my 90 which has only ported inj housing and plenum runs a full .3tenths and 3 miles an hr faster at the same strip

porting was just basicly sleaning off the casting flashes. the head porting was about the same . valves did get a 3 angle valve job and the cams were timed for max performance . the car might be worth the price coinsidering it is a ruby car. but for not too much more one might pick up franks car which to me would be a lot better deal. all total there were just 16 super natural 475s made .

the black piece that all zr-1's have to fill out the 1.5" difference on each side of the license plate and between the reverse lights
you can see it here:

Ok just got back from corvettes of houston to check it out. First of all the car is flawless in every way. I couldn't find anything wrong with it no matter how hard I looked. It has everything that the supernatural package is supposed to have. OZ wheels. Coilovers. Brembo brakes. Those seats are correct for 40th anniversary supernatural. The car is certified and well documented. Also found out it was bought from a big collector here in Houston who has no association with any ZR-1 clubs or sites. And he is good friends with Reeves Callaway. He's just rotating his collection. The car is probably worth ever penny they're asking for it. I mean guys I got a look underneath it and I can tell the difference between a car that's undercarrage has been cleaned and one that's just never seen road dirt its entire life. And this is it. It even has a Ktec battery tender mounted right next to the ECM so the owner never planned to drive it much. If your looking for pure perfection and collectabillity this is it.

sounds like an awesome car...i just wish it had the plate frame or they were easier to find. Not that it matters since I can't afford that car
