Default Chuck and Britta get their C7~Crystal Red with Adrenaline Red interior!!Must see pics

Reserve opinions until you see this stunning color combo in person. I have ordered it for years and wouldn't hesitate to own it myself! With that being said, Chuck and Britta live in Bend, Oregon and Las Vegas, NV when they are not travelling. Lyn and Steve from Prescott, AZ recommended me as someone Chuck should speak with should he want to order a Stingray. We spoke earlier this yr and he gave me a deposit for what you will see is just a drop dead gorgeous combination. The following was drop shipped in to Bend, OR for them.
2014 Stingray Z51 3LT cpe loaded up with the options that I helped them determine what was just right. Britta wanted the Red interior and Chuck wanted the Crystal Red Metallic tintcoat.I kept them informed every step of the way and as I had planned, their courtesy delivery was yesterday in Bend, Oregon. Even though Criswell is in Maryland and they are out West, I feel like I know everyone for many yrs.
I hope to meet you all someday soon.















Get ready for the Corvette wave!!

~ and on a 1/18th scale..

Mike Furman:

I feel like I am a loss for words here.

From beginning to end you nailed it with Chuck and Britta. Your hand holding, knowledge, and expertise on ordered options made the process so easy for our friends, who are first time Corvette owners. You kept us and our friends in the loop the entire way, and the 3,000 mile distance between Oregon and Maryland was not even a blip on the screen.

We affectionately call the Courtesy Delivery dealer in Bend, Oregon "Criswell West", as you have many future deliveries lined up for all of your Oregon customers.

The finance package was handled in a day over the phone and overnight mail. Just like being at Criswell with you personally, but not.

Best of all, your "delivery signature" build sheet was put in the hands of our friends and your new C7 owners. Just like at Criswell Chevrolet!!!

Simply a seamless transaction......a full 6 months ahead of when you initially predicted the delivery would be from way back in the early Spring. Under promise and over deliver.

Now they head off to Las Vegas......for some serious laps at Ron Fellows Spring Mountain Race School. They will personally let Ron know that you recommended that they attend his C7 Driving School.

What an "E" ticket ride this experience has been for our friends and your new customers.

And you accomplished all of this AND this pictorial/writeup......on your day off!!!

Like Ronald Reagan used to say......"Now there you go again".

How business is done.

Mike, I ordered the torch red but after seeing the darker red on a car at the dealer yesterday I agree with you. I would change if I could go back...that color looks much richer...make the car look expensive.

I agree the tintcoat metallic paints like Crystal Red really make the lines of the car pop. That first picture is amazing.

Chuck and Britta:

You had better prepare the folks at TB in Las Vegas for your arrival. You will be the first C7 there.

Special parking area for the C7!!!

Mike Furman @ Criswell:

Personally, when do you recommend the first oil change for the C7.

IF the alignment needs to be checked under warranty, how many miles do you recommend C7 owners put on their C7's first to "settle in" the suspension to get correct factory readings and settings?

I emailed out to all my customers a break in period info sheet 1 week ago. Tell Chuck to review that.

Interesting combo. That's a lot of red. I'm not into colored calipers but the red ones do complement the car.
