Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Sept 6

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.

Hopefully everyone is enjoying their Labor Day weekend. We’ve got a bunch of deliveries to share today after being away back-to-back weeks for Carlisle and the NCM Anniversary Celebration. As a reminder, you can always catch up with Mike’s post directly on his CorvetteFurman Facebook Page.

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

Tony M. of Louisville, KY gifted me an engraved Bourbon barrel top to commemorate #7,000 Corvette delivery. Very cool for sure! Some pics from the Corvettes at Carlisle Event. Enjoy.

~ Mike was honored by Adam Pitale of Adam’s Polishes for his recent milestone of 7,000 new Corvette deliveries over 49 years of selling new Corvettes.

~ A few more folks have sent me their pictures with the super coveted free $9 #7,000 Corvette t shirt that is worth a hefty penny on EBay

~ I spent a Dozen Summers (1978-1990) with Zora Duntov and his quote in his heavy accent when someone (me) asked about future product was” Michael, Rumors sell magazines, not cars!”

~6:45am Saturday 9/5/26. The first two of my 5 Corvette deliveries this morning. I just brought them down from the clean up building. All ready to start the day.

~ C8 Deliveries from the last two weeks:

~Tim M. of Gulf Shores, Alabama factory ordered his brand new Roswell Green Metallic 2027 Corvette Stingray Convertible from me and by mid week he will be driving this stunner! The paperwork/payment process was complete via Fed ex and this weekend Plycar trucking loaded it up for the enclosed trailer ride to Tim’s home in Alabama. Equipment:2LT, GT2 buckets, Sky Cool gray interior, body color accents, magnetic ride suspension, chrome badges, center quad exposed bright tips, low profile spoiler and much more. This is a great color combo!

~Kevin and Mary C. of Churchville, Maryland factory ordered from me their very first Corvette! He chose wisely with an Arctic White 2027 Grand Sport Corvette Coupe with Adrenaline Red dipped interior. Equipment: 3LT, stealth interior, extended front splitter ground effects, Z52 sport performance pkg, Carbon ceramic brakes, bright red calipers, 10 spoke black gloss wheels, center quad exhaust and three stanchion high wing spoiler.

~Chuck and Ann C. of Lewisberry, Pennsylvania received an email from me that I had an Admiral Blue Grand Sport getting built that was up for grabs. They hopped on it quick and I gave them a sight unseen trade in value over the phone as we completed the deal over the phone. They patiently waited until it arrived at Criswell and the appt to switch their Orange 2013 427 convt for their new Admiral Blue 2027 GS Coupe. They kept it a secret from all their fellow club members until today as I just watched them enter and park on the Carlisle Fairgrounds. Equipment: 2LT, GT2 buckets, front lift, engine lighting pkg, red calipers, 10 spoke black wheels, center quad exhaust, red seat belts, red interior, red heritage hash marks and much more.

~Kim S. of New Castle, Pennsylvania placed his factory order for an Admiral Blue 2027 Corvette Convt with two tone red/black interior. I gave him a sight unseen trade value on his yellow 2021 Vette and today was his delivery day. I had him in and out in under 30 minutes. Kim has owned 4 Corvettes now, 68,69,21, and now his 2027! Equipment: 2LT, GT2 buckets, stinger stripe, front lift, magnetic ride, Z51, Red Seat belts and much more. Super nice guy that I enjoyed meeting today.

Kim’s Corvette forum post on his experience:

“I had never bought a new Corvette until today. I didn’t fully understand the process and frankly, where to even start. I just knew I wanted one that I could call my own. I did my research on this site and others. One name kept popping up that others seemed to have a high opinion of and that person was Mike Furman at Criswell Chevrolet, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I also saw that many of you also liked the “usual suspects” Macmulkin, Ciccio, Matick, and others. I liked some of them as well, but ultimately had to make a choice and settled on asking Mike to help with my build because of his reputation in the industry, recommendations from many of you folks, and I liked that he responded to my email request in about 5 minutes. Best move I made. He helped and explained the process, estimated and explained the order, build, and delivery timeline, changed my order, at my request several times, even after I was “positive this is the last change”. Criswell and Mike gave me a fair deal on my trade in and discounted my build under MSRP. Every time my status code changed, he informed me with an update. He placed my order in the system on June 30th and I picked up my car today, September 1st. It is sitting in the shop, outside of Pittsburgh, as I speak awaiting PPF and ceramic coating. Two months! I can’t say enough good things about this experience with Mike. When I go to spend another 100K plus, it will be with Mike.”

Thanks very much Mike!

~Tony M. of Louisville, Kentucky has been buying Corvettes from me for the last decade, ever since we met in Carlisle, PA. The Museum staff really rolled out the red carpet as they always do for my Corvette deliveries. This 2027 ZR1 Blade Silver split window matches Tony’s 1963 Sebring Silver Split Window and will look great together in his garage. Tony ordered a Blade Silver metallic with Red dipped 2027 ZR1 Coupe. Stunning from every angle! Equipment:, front lift, level 2 CF interior trim, 20 spoke bright machined wheels, ZR1 carbon Aero pkg and a very rare option R88 illuminated crossed flags emblem…my guess is way less than 50 Corvette orders will have this option for the 2027 model year.

Tony gifted me an engraved Louisville slugger bat when I delivered Corvette #6,000 and last week in Carlisle he gifted me an engraved Bourbon Barrel top for my 7,000th delivery. Thanks Tony

*These iconic delivery moments were captured by the National Corvette Museum team. (Tony sent me some too) For more behind-the-scenes access to your Corvette’s arrival, the Museum Delivery Team offers, exclusive photo sets and perspectives only they can deliver.

~Fred and Barbara K. of Poway, California reached across the country to factory order their new Arctic White 2027 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible with Black interior, Blue stitching and Blue Heritage stripes. Fred wanted to match his Father’s 1961 Corvette that his Father had when he was born and now owns. Here’s Fred’s words…”

“I was brought home after being born in 1965 from the hospital in my mom’s lap in my dad’s 1961 Vette. He bought it new in 1961, and kept it until he passed in 2011. I have restored the car, keeping it mostly original. You can see why I chose White with Blue trim!”

The Museum staff really rolled out the red carpet this week for two super nice folks!

~Rogers M. of Upper Marlboro, Maryland has now ordered both Corvettes that he has owned from me, this time he brought his son Riley who is a pre Med student at U of Maryland, my Alma mater. Rogers owned a 2019 GS and now a Pitch Gray 2027 GS coupe. Equipment: 2LT, red interior, GT2 buckets, front lift, level 1 CF interior trim, red calipers, center quad exhaust and much more.

Great to see this Father/Son interaction this morning.

~G. of South Florida ordered his 2021 Corvette from me and he wanted an Admiral Blue C8 Grand Sport to match his C4 Grand Sport so he placed his order and flew in to take delivery today. Last week we had dinner together and spent some time in Carlisle, PA. Today he is headed to VA for the Auto train to FL. This Grand Sport Corvette will fit in nicely with his bakers dozen Corvettes that he owns. I was fortunate to get a tour last year and hope to do it again sometime.

~ This week’s Top Corvette Barn finds, old Racing stills, Ads and throwback pictures from around the globe!

Drive safely and enjoy the week.

My favorite is the blue 67 with the 427 Tri-Power engine.

My favorite is the C2 Coupe in the weeds with the dark haired ‘BABE’ in the white 2 piece bathing suit standing beside it.

Again, I chose 3 for this week, the Callaway Sledgehammer as I had a friend who owned this car 10-12 years, The kid in the black C2 Corvette (look at that smile!), and the little kid standing on the seat of the C1 Corvette!
