1/17/21~C8 Corvette delivery post~Pics/stories*15x3*Mike Furman@Criswell*
~~ If you own a C8 and you haven't signed up for Corvette owners school at Spring Mountain...now is the time. I will be having Corvette Furman C8 owners classes/racetrack experience on March 31st/April 1st.
Call Donna Hammontree at Spring Mountain (800) 391-6891 x232 or email her at Donna@racespringmountain.com ~October dates have not been set yet but that will be my next session time out at Spring Mountain Race Track Pahrump, Nevada.
Tell Donna you want to be in my group. The Corvette Furman pizza dinner party will be at The Clubhouse on-site on March 30th at 6 pm.

6:45 am ~Saturday morning sunrise at Criswell...great way to start the day.
Great pics by HC4!
~I have 15 customers in the month of January taking delivery at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY, 15 courtesy deliveries, and 15 on-site at Criswell Chevrolet...and it's only halfway through January.
Stay tuned for many more delivery pics/stories coming up...along with a celebrity out in California.
~Gary R. of Hampstead, Maryland sure picked the right generation to jump in and buy his very first Corvette! Gary ordered a Torch Red 2020 Corvette Z51 coupe and then added the carbon fiber exposed weave ground effects pkg that our service department installed and bought the high wing spoiler and had our body shop paint it body color. Equipment list: 3LT pkg, CF wheels, front lift, magnetic ride, bright red calipers, black interior with microfiber inserts and red stitching and red seat belts, engine appearance pkg, and much more.
~Hugh” Bugs” F. of Leesburg, Virginia last ordered a 2014 Corvette from me which replaced his 2002 Z06...this time he ordered a Black 2021 Corvette Coupe and did the museum delivery experience this past week as he traded in his 2014 Corvette last week. The retired two-star General knew exactly what he was seeking in his mid-engine Corvette. I had my friend Adam take some pics and meet up with him in Bowling Green as I knew they would hit it off. Equipment list: Black/ Black, 2LT pkg, performance exhaust, CF Painted wheels, and much more.
~Robert L. of Auburn Hills, Michigan factory ordered a Torch Red 2021 Corvette Convertible to be shipped by Plycar trucking the 530 miles from Criswell to his Michigan home as soon as the paperwork/payment process had been completed via Fed Ex.
Picked up Wednesday and delivered on Thursday. This Corvette pops in the sunlight!
Equipment list: GT2 buckets, front lift, performance exhaust, spectra gray wheels, and much more!
~Jay J. of Glen Head, New York sought me out because he sells Mercedes Benz cars and had heard of me. He even made a special 4-hour drive to meet me and place his order. This past week he took delivery of his Torch Red 2021 Corvette Z51 convertible with Natural interior at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. Equipment list: 3LT pkg, CF Painted Nacelles and roof, front lift, magnetic select ride, bright red calipers, and spectra gray wheels.
~Craig T. of Gallatin, Tennessee factory ordered a Red Mist Tintcoat 2021 Z51 coupe with black interior and took delivery this week at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY.
Equipment list: 3LT pkg, front lift, magnetic select ride, CF Painted wheels, Z51, and red stitching. A super nice guy has his super nice C8 in possession!
~ Naples, Florida businessman will have this new 2021 Red Mist tintcoat Corvette Z51 convertible in his garage within the week. The color really pops especially with the Sky cool gray interior and spectra gray wheels.
He had our service/ parts department supply the carbon fiber exposed weave ground effects pkg and high wing spoiler to install before delivery. Looks great from every angle!

Stay healthy!

That cool sky interior reminds me of a pair of infamous shoes from the 80s. Worked well for Clark, but damn, not sure it’s for everyday.

Great Photos
Once again, a great cavalcade of awesome pictures. So nice to start Sunday morning off this way.
My new favorite C8 color just might be Red Mist - it pops for sure, especially in the sunlight. Definitely right up there with the Elkhart Lake Blue with the "Wow!" factor.
The best classic car photos this week are the 1963 red split-window coupe shown from above and the Marina Blue 1967 showing off its headlights.
Awesome front view of a beautiful blue 1967 showing off its headlights.
Nothing compares to a 1963 split-window coupe. Imagine how futuristic that car looked in 1963. Wow!

Mike, my dad and I were at the Mecum Kissimmee auction the past 2 days. I know you gave me a great deal almost 2 years ago when I ordered my '19 Grand Sport through you. I watched a 19 GS with more miles than mine sell yesterday at Mecum for what I paid for mine in 2019! Met a retired owner of several southeastern GM stores who purchased several GM muscle cars including a stunning Navy with red interior fuel injected 63 split window. Several C8's sold in the $120k's. The last production 2020 C8 had a high bid of $140K! and did not sell!
