Special order behind the scenes look inside the Callaway facility!30+ pictures...
You may remember a few weeks ago I posted(http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...-delivery.html) about Billy from NY and his Special order Callaway...He first ordered his new Callaway Corvette from me in November...then did the Engine build process in Michigan Jan 15th...then visited Callaway Hdqtrs in Old Lyme,CT upon it's arrival...well here are some inside the Callaway Plant pictures as his Corvette gets completed. If you plan on going to the Bash at the Corvette Museum in April then you will witness Billy and his wife taking Corvette Museum delivery in Bowling Green,KY! Billy will be the one on Cloud 9 as he accepts the keys from Chris Chessnoe of Callaway. The Callaway vehicles are highly engineered with quality 2nd to none and a peerless warranty! Call 301 212 4420 for more info. Mike Furman Criswell Chevrolet
This is truly Billy's Dream Corvette...specially prepared by Callaway!!

Great build but Callaway needs to go back to billit for performance, heat dissipation, long life and just plain style. I want my supercharger to look like a Callaway Corvette not a Mustang.

Billy has a ton of patience...plus the weather in NY isn't the greatest so April 20th can't come soon enough!

Wow Mike, impressive to say the least!!!
Billy gets the power and performance of a ZR1 and the look of the Grand Sport with the cool see through top that you can take off. The best of both worlds plus warranty protection.
A Stunning & impressive Corvette.
It looks like the interior is a 4Lt or is that Callaway upgrades. I realize the center armrest and gear shift are Callaway but with the red interior stitching and the 4LT Alcantara inserts on the seats I was surprised that he got a leather steering wheel as opposed to the standard 4LT Alcantara material. I personally prefer the leather steering wheel like what Billy has.
Mike thanks for sharing the photos. Look forward to seeing the finished car.
Keep selling more Corvettes Mike. Want to see the C6s sold so we can get more info on the C7.
Cheers,
Fuze

We should not lose sight of the fact that this entire process......from the initial sale to the final delivery has been so well documented by Mike at Criswell, as well as Chris from Callaway. Both men facilitated this process, calling on many decades of experience with Corvette, as well all of their industry contacts to pull this remarkable feat off without a hitch.
This is not only a one of a kind experience for Billy the buyer, but I have never before seen this process documented on C.F.
Certainly one for the record books......one for the history books. And it all took place at the very end of the C6 generation. Lots of "firsts" here.

Thanks for that chronology, Mike!
Your trip to the Corvette Museum for this day of delivery is simple......just tell Mr. Criswell to keep that date open for the Corporate Jet!
Just a quicky......over and back!
