I'm sorry to say that your chances of delivering the airplanes would be pretty small. The cost of getting a low time pilot insured to fly around brand-new high hull value airplanes would be pretty high, and I don't think airplane manufacturers have much cash to spend on stuff like that.
What's kinda weird though is two seconds before I read your post, a guy I work with was just telling me that his parents live near the mooney plant and he toured it a few years back.

Anyways, you might be able to work it where you can ride along on delivery flights from time to time. If I had to guess at insurance requirements it would be approx. 500 hrs, 100 retract, 50 on type. That's the numbers I've come across a few times for high performance singles.
