Thanks Mike for another great Sunday delivery thread. What declining C7 sales — for that sure is not happening with you! Wonderful new delivery backstories and pictures, and so enjoyed the pictures of the older Corvettes. Thank you Mike for another super-enjoyable viewing.

Biased to like this photo.....because its my '65 back when it was new being washed by the original owner, Robert Schneider in Florida. I got this photo from his wife just after I bought the car in '98. Restored by the 5th owner in 1990. I have actually met one of the men who helped restore it....he recognized the car at an AACA event I entered it into in Cleveland TN about 10 years ago. He approached me and told me he had worked on the resto. It has an interesting history (ie: 7 years in the Bahamas) but don't need to get into that here. Here it is today in our garage.

Love your posts Mike and the tributes from your customers are awesome and well deserved! Love all the new C7 owner pics, and go Bebe with her yellow C7 and M7! Really like the Torch Red Zo6 the couple took museum delivery on!

Really like this 67 Convertible, red with white interior! You know RED is my favorite color for Corvette. Prince (may he rest in in peace) sang about it in "Little Red Corvette"!



And here is Marcie's other "Little Red Corvette" (besides the one she bought from you which is C7 Crystal Red Metallic Convertible with Kalahari top and interior) on our club's dash plaque for our upcoming June show!

Very welcome my friend. I can’t wait to see pictures from your Red Carpet delivery day!

CONGRATS to the New Owners
The C8 has a tough challenge.Upgrading from a C7 won't be easy.
Guess the same has been said about previous models.
Some great photo's again.Can't decide on A best one


Thanks Mike

By the way, I saw this movie when it was released in 1967; "Hot Rods To Hell".




Thrill-seeking juvenile delinquents harass a couple (Dana Andrews, Jeanne Crain) with children on a desert highway. wikipedia.org


  1. Original release date: January 27, 1967
  2. Director: John Brahm

How great to be able to attend the Reveal on July 18th! You have to take lots of pics & videos so you can share them. Bertha “Bebe” M. is quite the lady. Six Corvettes including a beautiful yellow C7 at the age of 80. Simply awesome!

Also really like Bob G. Blade Silver 2019 Z06. Given he lives in Eugene, Oregon we hope to see him at the upcoming Corvette on the Columbia event May 31 - June 2nd in Pasco Washington. Lots of fun events planned. Link to the event; https://www.facebook.com/events/1169...915640/?ti=icl

Default Furman in the know


Sooo, what did Furman know, and when did he know it?

OK, we know that Mike lives by the age old axiom of life...... “Chance favors the prepared mind”......

BUT, has anyone caught on to the mere coincidence of Mike planning his July, 2019 Spring Mountain Customer Driving School event July 20th-23rd...... an ENTIRE year in advance in July 2018...... and the C8 reveal in L.A., which he will be attending, has been announced for July 18th-19th?!

Hmmm...... Fly to L.A. for the just announced C8 reveal, then hop a short flight right over to Las Vegas for Mike’s Spring Mountain Customer Corvette Driving School event...... that Mike planned in advance a year ago

Some truly beautiful older Vettes in the Class Barn section. But, the new car deliveries take the day for smiles! With the lead-off being the "Bebe" M. new owner and an M7, too!!!!!! Enjoy the big Reveal on July 18th!
