Default One of the more interesting weeks of deliveries, phone calls and pictures.

Every once in a while you have one of those weeks that is just different on many levels. It started out with the owner of a PA Ford Dealership calling me to order a new Stingray Z51 Convt ...for his wife...a 2014 Viper delivery, a Factory order Z51 cpe delivery along with 11 Stingray orders (deposits)...and that was just Monday! Today I got pictures from Andrew in Florida as he took Museum delivery the other day and shared it with his family. Which was his whole plan! The unveiling of the Callaway Stingray is tomorrow at the Corvette Museum .. Enjoy the pics.... Tomorrow I leave for the Corvette Bash at the Corvette Museum and a Plant Tour in Bowling Green, KY. I will be OUT of the OFFICE April 24th-27th. Hope to see you all there.

Here is Gene from Potomac, MD with his family picking up his ordered Z51 cpe in Cyber gray metallic.











Here is the new Shark Gray Color for 2015.





Here is Andrew from Florida and his new Stingray Z51 Convt...and in his own words...

"Mike, we just returned from the week long trip up to Bowling Green to pick up the car. 2300 Miles and lots of smiles. Everything worked out perfectly. I want to thank you for meeting every commitment you made to me, this couldn't have gone smoother. The rave reviews you get on the forums are well deserved. Thanks again Mike! Andrew "



Here is the 2014 Viper delivery in the....Corvette delivery area!!







...and oh Yeah, Tomorrow is the unveiling of the Callaway Stingray at the Corvette Museum...I sold this Stingray Z51 to Chris from Plycon Trucking and it's Callaway #1 build for the 7th Generation Corvette.







~and as I have heard many times before...people say I look like John Cena...we both wrestled in High School and College. Customer sent me this picture and mentioned the resemblance....but I am 17 yrs older!!

John...


and me...


Don't forget the Corvette Wave!!





~Call me desk direct 301 212 4420 if you want one of the above Stingrays or factory order your Corvette that you are seeking. I will be back in the office Monday April 28th~

Cool pics

Hopefully GM picks my order up soon because I'm ready to see your dealership in person. I'll bet seeing all those Stingrays in one location is quite a site

I can see some resemblance, but how you put it into your post was hilarious!

cool. thanks for sharing. so no real discounting even though there's a multi-month supply, huh? is there a fear that production won't pick back up?

I guess I'm one of the 11. Ahmad here from the frozen tundra! :-) still seriously contemplating picking her up from your dealership! Apparently flight from Minneapolis to Baltimore can be as little as $124 for one way. It's spirit airlines though so I'm sure they'll charge me if I wanted to bring a wallet on board!! Ah, decisions, decisions, decisions!

Yesterday, I flew AirTran/Southwest from Minneapolis to Baltimore for $141. A very nice connection through Atlanta with time for lunch

"Holy Viper, Fur-Man"!!!!!

Gee, wonder how Plycar owner Chris got the #1 C7 Callaway...... might have something to do with the fact that he bought his previous 2 C7's from Furman (Coupe and Vert)...... and he is the Enclosed Transport shipper of choice for......Callaway!!!!!!!!
