NCM! When you order the album they send you courtesy pics as it comes off the line. I can't wait for her to arrive!

I think you need to look up the specs before you post. That's the official dry weight.

How did you know the date your Corvette was being built so that you could order the album

You just order the album and they take care of the rest. They also tell you when it will be built as long as you have a TPW.

Are you panning on draining all the fluids out that GM put in the car, before you drive it. BTW, no new Corvette is built nor driven out of the factory "dry". It might only have two gallons of gas, but it's full of engine coolant and all lubricating fluids when it hit that last work station on the assembly line.

BooBerry,
Think your car was not too far in front of mine. One of the Museum guys was doing a photo only shoot. We spoke at the lunch table today and he was going to finnish up just after lunch.
Joking about the weight as we noticed the right reflector strip on the rear facia (below the tail lights) was missing on quite a few of the cars.
There was a worker who was hand carrying some back to some of the missed ones. Mine was also missing but was in an area where the cars were coming to the ground for the first time and was a no access area.
