~Do I work for Criswell Chevrolet or am I an Corvette enthusiast? I get that question a lot, of course posed tongue in cheek. Some believe selling Corvettes Nationwide for as long as I have deem what I do pure fun...maybe even the worlds greatest job. Like any job it's still work but if you're going to do something...why not something that you love? I get hundreds of calls per week on top of hundreds of emails. I answer everyone as swiftly as possible. Two other questions most asked are...What's the most you have delivered in a month? and in a day? I delivered 61 in one month, 56 of them were Corvettes. I have sold 18 in one day, 14 were delivered and 4 sold orders. Are they records? I don't really care about records one bit.
But on that note...last evening at Barrett-Jackson the very first 2019 ZR1, vin #1 sold for $925,000. Every penny going to charity. Now that is awesome!



~Spotlight on one delivery this week...

~Blaine J. Of Charlotte, North Carolina called me 8 weeks ago to special order his very first Corvette. He chose wisely with this Arctic White 2018 Grand Sport Cpe with Adrenaline Red interior Black Wheels and Red calipers! Blaine’s new GS Corvette is a 2LT Pkg with Competition Seats, visible carbon fiber ground effects Pkg, CF badge Pkg, Heritage pkg, 7Spd manual trans, CF mirrors, Navigation/PDR and CF Black Center stripe. This combo is cooler than the other side of the pillow. Blaine was in and out in under 75 minutes and headed South the 430 miles to his home in Charlotte with his 13 yr old son. Some quotes via email from Blaine on the road home..."Easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had by a long shot!!! Now I’m ready to knock off these 500 break in miles so I can open it up! Thanks again for everything! You did an absolutely fantastic job and made it extremely easy on me. This is one sweet ride!" Blaine













Weather reached 63 degrees yesterday. Perfect driving conditions from Criswell to Blaine's home in Charlotte, NC.











In the wash bay at 6:45am. I had 8 deliveries yesterday so I was in early checking on them all.

~Other deliveries that left the yard....



Two time Corvette customer from Clifton, NJ called me up in December to factory order this 2018 Tahoe LT. I had it built in 4 weeks.






















~The Frank Class Corvette Barn Find, Throwback and old ad section. For those of you that don't follow my posts...Frank Class bought a new Corvette from me every year. He enjoyed my forum posts very much so I emailed them to him every Sunday morning. He would sit and check out every picture before going to Church. Frank passed away last Summer at the young age of 81. Frank had owned 50+ Corvettes including a 1957 that he still owned since new! Hence the reason I dedicated this section in his name.

Fantastic Mike. so good you should charge for these lol... I especially enjoyed the throwback section, pardon me, the "The Frank Class Corvette Barn Find, Throwback and old ad section". Well deserved recognition for a Corvette enthusiast such as he. At least many of those 81 years he was able to enjoy Corvettes. We should all be so lucky!

My favorite pic is the pic with all the historical information regarding the late C1 early C2's from that article you posted.

I missed the ZR1 Auction, i was at work and forget to record it but hoping it's on youtube soon (as i was looking for it i got up in watching a 71 hemi cuda sell for 3.5million WOW).

Thanks buddy!

Hey Mike, lots of awesome split window pics this week, as usual. I also have to wonder if back in the day, anyone slapped that knucklehead laying on the hood of the C2. He has to have been one of those "It's just a car" kind of guys. BTW, we can't forget that VIN 001 Carbon 65 Z06 also sold for charity at BJ last night. Brought a whopping $1.4 million! Hendrick got a real bargain on the ZR1. Thanks for another great Sunday morning thread. Have a great week.

Thank you very much for the kind words.

Steve Garrett

Rick Hendrick got off cheap with $925,000 first ZR1, Mike!

Mike Furman@Criswell

Just another write off for him.
