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.
Thanks for joining us for another round of delivery and throwback pics from Mike Furman. Mike has some great new C8 Corvettes being delivered to very happy owners this past week. I always like to check out the equipment listings and see how his buyers spec out the exterior and interior combos. This week’s Throwback and Vintage pics are fantastic, and it’s not just because I see a photo my own ’66 Corvette when it was in barn find condition in the early ’90s. Let us know your favorites in the comments below!
You can see all of Mike’s posts and pictures through the week on his CorvetteFurman Facebook Page.
~Good news, Winter in the Northeast is almost over!
~Awesome Corvette Racing video. Worth a few minutes to view.
~Zora drives a 1961 Fuelie and the audio is captured for a Chevrolet Promo:
~The Chevrolet Corvette has been featured in some incredibly clever ads over the past 71 years, enjoy the few I provided for this post. There are literally hundreds of others displaying America’s #1 Sports car!
~EX87, prototype that transformed the Corvette into an icon. The first Corvette prototype to receive a small-block V-8 engine. GM greenlit a program involving Zora Duntov to investigate putting a hot small block V-8 into the Corvette for 1955. The company assigned one of their unsold 1954 models to the engineering department on October 28, 1954 to begin developing performance parts for the car. That car was given the title EX87 at that time. BY LUCAS BELL PUBLISHED: DEC 27, 2023 excerpt from Road&Track
~1960 to 2023…~ Chuck Schroedel sitting in the Camoradi LeMans Race Car in 1960 and again after 63 years reunited at the 2023 Westchester County Corvette Club Fall event.
~Competition Seats~ Sean of Westminster, Maryland lives 1 hour North of me close to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. His 2024 Corvette Z06 order is moving forward on Tuesday and wanted to sit in Competition seats just to confirm his choice but the problem was finding someone that has them in their C8! In 2020 only 10.7% of production had Comp seats, 2021 14.8%, in 2022 14.4% and in 2023 12.7%. So I invited Sean to my home this Sunday afternoon so he could view and sit in my 2024 Z06 Convertible with Seat code AE4 Competition seats. His thumbs up solidified his order and its full steam ahead. His new C8 Z will join his wife’s C2 and C6 in the garage! I had Competition seats in 4 of my 5 C8’s and 3 of my 5 C7’s!
~Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at Spring Mountain racetrack March 30-April 5th Pahrump, Nevada. I will be hosting 110 of my Corvette customers from around the world twice in 2024, April and October. Call Brooke (775) 727-6363×225 ) to arrange your Corvette school dates and hopefully you can join me for my Pizza dinner parties the night before first day of classes on March 31st and April 2nd. My Z06 class is full but there are currently some empty Corvette Stingray seats available but not for long. Take a look through the past decade of doing this on behalf of my Corvette clients. I have made Over 40+ trips to my favorite track facility in the country.
