Look at the white #18 in the center of the picture, I know it isn't, but in my mind I said "What is an 02-05 Thunderbird doing at Le Mans?* I guess the mind really is the first thing to go...

Your quote also makes me Wonder how Terrible it would be:

drive my Corvette every day, just because and for no particular reason...
Ahh,Mike many Reasons!!! Ha

Favorite..I spied A right hand drive 63! How many of them around?


The rumor is that is the only right hand drive 63 split window in existence.

Mike, your intro says "If you'd like to talk about a new or used Corvette I have 150+ available." Criswell's website only has 98 for us to look at. Where are the rest? Thanks!

Chris,

I have 65 new Corvettes in ship/build status and I always have 10 or so used Corvettes...not to mention our Truck dealership 45 miles North of me has another 35 Corvettes we store up there...

...plus I receive 20+ Corvette allocations to build each week....and thats on top of the 98 Corvettes you can see on my web site www.corvettefurman.com

Here is a link to the "Hertz Ski Car" shown above that sold at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale this past week. If you have never been to BJ in Scottsdale, this is a MUST trip to go to. It is incredible the amount of cars this event has! The TV does it no justice!

Thank you very much Mike for another wonderful Sunday delivery thread. I always get a kick out of the new delivery backstories! Love so many of the pictures of older Corvettes, many of which I of course have never seen before, as in this one. Thanks Mike!

Thanks for another great post Mike.

I happen to be one of the lucky ones -- 1/2 mile from my garage yesterday:



I also saw the last survivor of the Hertz C2 Ski rental at Barrett Jackson this week:

...is that C2 Grandsport picture (#3) one of the originals, or a replica ?

(great weekly threads & posts, Mike...we all appreciate what you do for the Corvette community)

Thanks for another great Sunday post my friend. I couldn't decide on just one, so I'll post the two.

One tire on the ground, amazing.



You just don't see classy advertisements like this anymore.

Fantastic Sunday post...love the Grand Sport photos, of course, but my favorite are the pics of the 1963 Hertz Rental Ski Coupe!
