Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for April 11th

Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvettes to his customers who come from all across the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.

The national Corvette seller is coming up on another large milestone for a career that has spanned from the C3 generation all the way to the C8s, and we’ll have some more on that shortly. This week’s deliveries included several Red Mist Corvettes plus a Rapid Blue that was delivered directly to the customer’s driveaway. As always, a great batch of throwback and vintage pics await your scrolling, and when you reach the bottom, make sure to throw a comment up letting Mike know which was your favorite.

[VIDEO] The Corvette Mechanic Paul Koerner on the C8's Wiring Harness and Torque Wrenches

Thanks to those of you commenting on the C8 engine swap project currently being performed by the Corvette Mechanic Paul Koerner at Key Chevrolet in Middletown, CT. Paul has been performing the engine swap after the original engine literally blew multiple holes through the engine block so the Sebring Orange Corvette has earned a new engine thanks to GM’s warranty.

Paul reached out to us the other day to thank us for sharing his videos. As these big service jobs aren’t seen in this kind of detail all that often, we are learning so much about what is involved. We thanked him as well for sharing the wealth of knowledge and experience that Paul has become known for from his various seminars at the major Corvette shows.
