Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Jan 19th

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 this Sunday for our Sunday delivery post. This week, Mike shines the spotlight on two owners taking delivery of their new dream rides, and one of those cars has some great looking wheels installed from Wheel Craft. Mike also currates a great collection of throwback and vintage photos so get that scrolling finger stretched out so you can make it ’till the end. Once there, leave us a comment with your favorite photos. This week I am partial to the ’67 Split Window with Cragar’s and sidepipes!

You can see all of Mike’s posts and pictures through the week on his CorvetteFurman Facebook Page.

~I have been extremely fortunate over the last 4 + decades thanks to GM to attend many new car test drive track sessions and reveals of new product for Chevrolet among other Races/GM Events.

~Allocations for the 1,064 horsepower 2025 ZR1 Corvette are set to begin per GM next month and hopefully retail sold order production will begin 2nd Qtr 2025. I ran some previous ZR1 production numbers and for example there were 2,953 ZR1’s produced for the model year 2019 and I delivered 54 sold order 7th generation 2019 ZR1’s. I even joined a few classes of my ZR1 owners school out at Spring Mountain racetrack in Pahrump, Nevada. Check out the picture of my front tire after two days of me tracking the C7 ZR1.

There is also another picture when I drove the C6 ZR1’s at Spring Mountain racetrack before the 2009 ZR1’s were released to the public. You can tell how old the picture is by the barren background behind me on pit row!

~On TV today, Mario and Kit were discussing Tom Cruise’s next Mission Impossible movie when Mario brought up that Tom Cruise wrestled in high school (Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey) and that Tom got into theatre because his wrestling career got cut short due to an injury (January 1978) he sustained in a wrestling match. I wish I could contact Mario as I WAS the one that injured Thomas C Maypother IIII. AKA, Tom Cruise, the C in his middle name stood for Cruise. I have told this story to several people and today my golf partner and his wife were watching the News and saved this video clip for me to share. Too funny all these decades later.

I know Tom owns a 1958 Corvette and follows this page.

~Purple alert! A local businessman took delivery of his new Hysteria Purple 2025 Corvette Z06 Convertible with Sky Cool gray interior. He was in and out of the Business office in 10 minutes and on the road headed for what Supertramp sung “Take the long way home.” I could imagine he had a perma-grin driving his world class super car! Equipment: 3LZ, Carbon Aero pkg, body color accents, front lift, Level 2 carbon fiber instrument/interior, spider design polished forged aluminum wheels, engine appearance pkg and more!

~Nicole P. of Stewartstown, Pennsylvania bought a C8 from me last year and she wanted a 2nd C8 as she drives a lot of miles. Nicole picked this Black 2LT from stock and ordered Chrome wheels from Wheelcraft. I’m off today but she had already completed the paperwork/payment process so I had her new 2025 Corvette prepped and ready to go when she arrived this morning with her son Hunter. Equipment: 2LT, black exhaust tips, performance exhaust and more.

~ This week’s Top Corvette Barn finds and throwback pictures from around the globe!

Drive safely and enjoy the week.
