~Extra, Extra...1,514 HP got delivered at the Callaway Hdqtrs in Temecula, Calif yesterday, Read all about it over the next week.
CALLAWAY COOL TIMES TWO... delivered from Callaway Hdqtrs in Temecula, California on Saturday by Reeves Callaway and Pete Callaway. Jim Y. from Santa Rosa,Calif. and Wayne H. from El Cerrito, Calif. each factory ordered from me their 2017 Z06 Convt's together and picked them up together yesterday. I had them drop shipped right to Callaway in California from the Corvette Plant Bowling Green, KY. None other then Pete and his Father Reeves Callaway gave them a tour of the Callaway facility in California. Christmas comes early for these two customers! Jim had also ordered a new 2017 Corvette Stingray Z51 Convt from me that was delivered two months ago. So that's a total of 1,974 HP between the three orders.
~Jim's Z06 Convt order: Torch Red with Black int/top, Comp Seats, J57 Ceramic Brakes, Full visible carbon Fiber for ground effects, tonneau inserts, hood insert and Instrument panel, 8 spd Auto, Black Wheels, Carbon Flash Mirrors, Red seat belts, Red stitching and 3LZ pkg.
~Wayne H's Z06 Convt order: Long Beach Red with Black int/top with the identical option list as Jim's! Below are the pictures Callaway sent me, next week I will post Jim and Wayne's pics including tour by Reeves and Pete Callaway.
~Chris Chessnoe, National Callaway Sales Director and I at Carlisle Event last year.
~Many deliveries all over the Country this week but below are some pics from on site.
~I received a call this week from Gary Konner (of Malcolm Konner Corvette fame). We worked together back in the '80's and had not spoken in 20+ years. It was great to catch up and he has been watching from afar all I have accomplished in the Corvette Sales World. Even though Gary is only 5 years older, I always looked up to him. Tons of memories flooded back, I even surprised him that I remembered the story of how he met his wife Cathy first day of College in SAN Francisco.

Love the vintage pics Mike. Thanks for another great post!
I can't imagine having 757 hp available. I get into enough trouble with only a stock LT1 or L36.

Mike: As always great posting. Makes my Sunday morning get off to a great start. Can 't believe you posted my pic. My 5 seconds of fame. Merry Christmas and keep on selling and posting.
Thank you for the opportunity to deliver this pair of Callaway SC757 Z06 Corvettes on our collective behalf. Your customers were excited, and between the two of them, they have four (4) cameras, so next week, you should have even more pics.
Also good to see you this past week at the dealership, and here's to a great year-end for you and the Criswell Team, and a Merry Christmas.

Note the MSRP window sticker on the drivers side of the red 63 in the showroom was very small back in the day. These days all that stuff comes as standard equipment. Except not vintage.
