Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Oct 26

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.

We got a great delivery post from Mike today that features a number of fantastic new Corvettes including three ZR1s! Check out the equipment on those bad boys and then keep scrolling as Mike has a great collection of throwbacks and vintage photos to share. My favorite this week is the Dad with 3 kids inside the Midyear Coupe. Those were the days! Got a favorite? Let us know in the comments below!!

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

~C1 on the legendary GM Proving Grounds’ banked track. At the time, this state-of-the-art testing facility was the standard for the entire auto world.

~The 1975 Chevrolet salesman said “ women do not buy Corvettes!” Oct 30, 1975, I drove this car for the first time. 50 years ago today. I am an old women now and guess what I love this car. Happy birthday Max, his name.”

What a great ownership story!

~ Back in time, 7/22/23~Below is the 11 1/2 minute YouTube video from my 6,000th Corvette delivery July 22nd, 2023. Approx 40 people attended and a couple drove in over a thousand miles from Arkansas just to witness the fun…and then they ended up ordering a new Corvette! Some cool drone angles from above, I just recently passed 6,750 Corvette deliveries…and 8,000+ others, now in my 48th year selling Chevrolets.

~Corvette deliveries by the numbers:
#1 July 26th 1978
#3000. January 13 2014
#4000 April 2018
#5000 May 29,2021
#6000 July 22,2023
#6750 October 15,2025

~I was fortunate to be invited to the reveal of the 2026 ZR1X Corvette this past June. Held inside the Corvette Plant in Bowling Green, KY, it was every Corvette enthusiasts dream.

6:35am Saturday 11/1/25~ New month begins early for me here at Criswell Chevrolet. Every delivery day is my Super Bowl as I get to watch and cheer each and every delivery. This Competition yellow 2026 ZR1 will be my 6,760th Corvette delivery. Perfect weather day for the short ride home for my customer, from Criswell in Maryland to the Southern part of New Jersey.

~ New C8 Corvette Deliveries for the week!

~Rex M. of Eden, Utah owns a 2017 Z06 and follows my Corvette stories on the internet so he reached out to me to place his factory order for a new Red Mist 2026 Corvette Z06/Z07 Convt. Rex spec’d out a beautiful combo with the two tone Sky Cool gray/ Black interior and all the goodies. Below is an email I just received from Rex after Plycar trucking enclose trailered his Z06/Z07 cross country.

Equipment: 3LZ, stealth interior trim, Z07 ultimate performance pkg, CF full length dual stripes, front lift, level 2 cf interior trim, edge red calipers, black exhaust tips, 10 spoke black forged aluminum wheels, visible CF Aero pkg, and much more!

Good morning Mike, “I received a beautiful Z06! Thanks so much for working with me on this car. Your patience and understanding going through the process with me is greatly appreciated. You obviously had a great understanding of what I was after and how I wanted the car built. It turned out great! Hopefully we can eventually meet and shake hands in the future, perhaps at Corvette Furman Z06 racing school experience. Have a great weekend, and thanks again.”
Rex M. of Eden, Utah…a mere 2,100 miles distance from Criswell Chevrolet of MD to my Utah home.

Bobby B. of Marco Island, Florida (formerly Boston, MA) has been on many of my Corvette/Sports cars lists over the previous decades+ and as it always is good to be early, Bobby factory ordered this stunning 2025 Black ZR1 Coupe and this week he will receive the ZR1 as the paperwork/payment has been completed. Only 110 2025 ZR1’s were produced, with Black paint 20 Coupes and 10 Convt…only 1 Black ZR1 had the dual CF full length racing stripes option on the Black paint…yup, this is the one. Gives it the ghost stripe appearance that Bobby wanted.

Special order equipment: R6X custom Black/Red interior, 3LZ, Competition seats, CF dual racing stripes, chrome pkg, front lift, level 2 CF interior trim, edge red calipers, dual roof pkg, 20 spoke bright machined forged aluminum wheels, carbon fiber Aero pkg, torch red seat belts, red stitching, visible cf mirror caps and much much more.

1,064 horsepower, truly incredible in every way. Not to be cleaned as the enclosed truck coming Monday is taking it direct to a Virginia detail shop for ceramic coating before heading South to Marco Island, FL.

~Michael L. of New York, NY is a member out at Monticello racetrack near Woodstock, NY. I’m sure his new Roswell Green 2026 ZR1 Coupe will see plenty of fast laps on his home track. Michael’s new ZR1 is all signed and paid for and I just put the temp tag on as Plycar trucking is taking it straight to a professional detail shop in CT before it goes to his house in NY State. Equipment: 3LZ, Competition seats, stealth interior trim, body color split window, front lift, level 2 CF interior trim, yellow calipers, yellow seat belts, yellow stitching, dual roof pkg, visible cf wheels, ZR1 CF Aero pkg, ZTK Performance track pkg, and much more. Yes, sold at MSRP which on this Corvette is $242,123. The highest Corvette MSRP that I’ve delivered in 48+ years selling Chevrolet’s. This ZR1 is a stunner!

~Gary B. of Myersville, Maryland has now owned 9 Corvettes after taking delivery today of his factory ordered Riptide Blue metallic 2026 Corvette Convertible. He has bought the last 5 Corvettes from me along with Camaro’s and family cars. Gary’s new Convertible is just the way he wanted it, 1LT, performance exhaust and splash guards.

~Fred B. of Swedesboro, New Jersey has factored ordered many Corvettes from me in the past and even came to my version of the Z06 owners school in Nevada with me and my other clients. Today he drove away in his Competition Yellow 2026 ZR1 Coupe. I asked him to text me a report on his new ZR1 after he drove two hours home and he text 15 minutes after leaving “Sick!” And “ you truly have to respect the ZR1”. Equipment: 3LZ pkg, stealth interior trim, front lift, level 1 CF interior trim, yellow calipers, dark stealth crossed flags, cf forged aluminum wheels, yellow stitching, yellow seat belts and much more.

~I literally receive multiple referrals per day, every day of the week, usually from previous customers but this time Sy and Suzanne S. of Queenstown, Maryland were sent my way from a former golf club member. Sy and Suzanne drove over from the Eastern Shore to trade in their 2017 Buick Envision and take delivery of a Sterling Metallic 2026 GMC Terrain Elevation AWD.

I had them in and out way before the traffic on the Beltway and the Chesapeake Bridge would interfere with their travels home.

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

Drive safely and enjoy the week.
