Possibly looking to buy a 1999 rr calloway HSE with 94,000 miles. Needs a head gasket. They're asking $2500 OBO for the truck. Everything else on the truck is pretty mint. Is this a good buy?

 

if you could talk he down another $500 it would be better.

But people always ask crazy crazy money for good running Calloway's, I dont think they ever get it.


is it the only on craigs list in the backbay? i think thats the same one the guy wanted 8k a little while ago

 

what number callaway? it might have been mine. lol

 

Yeah it was the one in the Backbay, but he sold it. It was number 182.

 

i missed out on a Cameron Concepts RR in NH a couple months ago, because i go tied up at work $2000

 

They pop up from time to time. Most have head gasket issues because the heads are machined to within an inch of their useful life. If I were to pick one up now, I'd replace the calloway heads for a good set of stock 4.6 heads.

 

Most of the value is the heads in my opinion. Basically, I believe they decked the heads (for a 9.6:1 CR), did a port and polish, gasket match, and a three-angle valve job. Without the heads, the only differences are shortened ram stacks, a slightly larger throttle butterfly, and badges.
