Old’s Cool: Learning the Long Way in a 1972 MGB GT
The Sanctioned Madness of the Callaway Corvette
by Kris Clewell -
In the late 1980s, a handful of Corvettes left the factory and disappeared for weeks. They came back faster, calmer, and carrying the fingerprints of one man. Reeves Callaway wasn’t part of General Motors, but somehow convinced it to let him reimagine its halo car from a small shop in Connecticut. His twin-turbo creations were civilized supercars, capable of matching Ferraris while running cool and quiet with the A/C on.
For collector Alex Leventhal, owning one is proof that America once built like it believed in itself. The Callaway story isn’t about horsepower, it’s about trust, precision, and a kind of madness that can’t exist in boardrooms anymore.
