Okay, so this isn’t an original Callaway car, but the engine and turbo setup were swapped in from a real one which was wrecked. Purists may scoff, but we’re rather glad this engine lives on in another Alfa and wasn’t scrapped with the car.
This is almost a plank canvas – could easily be a track car or could be finished out for the street. The seller must be an Alfa specialist (named Guiseppe!), as he seems to offer many parts/options with the car, depending on buyer preference.
We’d get it complete enough to be road legal and then consider a rolling restoration back to a resto-mod street car. The bad news here is the starting price doesn’t reflect the car’s incomplete nature, as this feels more like a sub-$5K car. An original Callaway in this condition might be another story. Hopefully, a good price is negotiated and this cool 80s oddity once again provides some fun for a loving owner.

Sheet metal looks good and straight for the most part. Apparently, there is only minor rust in one fender. The hood scoop is included in the sale.
The rear continues the ‘straight but incomplete theme. Any potential buyer thinking about restoration will want to know pricing on bumpers, trim and badges.
Despite rally car usage, the interior seems fairly complete. The seller says carpet can be included in the sale. Door panels, too?
The seller says a later Alfa EFI was adapted. The aftermarket controller seems to be part of that system. Given Frankenstein engine and EFI, along with boost, someone good with AEM or Megasquirt EFI might want to just start over on this one.
Here’s the top-mounted, Callaway intercooler and one of the turbos.
