I noticed that too and had the same thought. (also have mine on order from Kerbeck). I guess we'll find out next week. I've mainly been looking at Kerbeck's site for updates since they seem to update it twice a week. End of next week I do plan on hitting up Cust. Service to see if they can give me an exact build date and full VIN. (I have the beginning from the decoder on this site, Kerbeck's will have the end but there's a check digit in the middle that will be missing.)

As long as it is built next week I don't care whether it is the beginning of the week, the middle of the week, the end of the week. Heck...in the grand scheme I'll technically take the beginning of the week after because I know I haven't waited anywhere near as long as some other people have for their orders.

According to the screen shot my dealer sent me the order accepted date was 3-10-15 and it went to 3400 on 4-4-15. Not sure if there's a correlation between the order accepted date and the broadcast date. I would have to think that there is. Luck of the draw just doesn't seem to fit in with a production line.

Of course now I'm scheduled to be out of town on a business project for three weeks next month and the car should arrive at the dealer just after I leave.

We did finally decide on the splitter and skirts to go with the Z06 grille though. Ordered them from RPI painted Carbon Flash. Those should arrive in a week or two.

This morning, I received an email from the NCM telling me that our buyer's tour would now start on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. This evening, I received another email informing me that the line was shut down today at 10:12 a.m. due to software crashes with the robot welders and that the line was down for the remainder of the day. I'll find out my new build schedule tomorrow.

Bummer. Now you have to change your travel plans. And I would assume it pushes everyone a day back.

I'm in the same boat. Checked tonight, and still at 3300 with a TPW of 4/13. Wouldn't be surprised if it pushes to the following week now.

2LT DSOM convertible with black top, interior and carbon flash badges, silver painted wheels, MT7. NOT Z51.

We're really excited, but still do not know how the line shut down yesterday will impact our build.

Great news! The plant is running a shift tomorrow (Saturday) to catch up from the shutdown on Wednesday. This means my buyer's tour is still on schedule for Thursday as 12:30 p.m. with the Corvette coming off the line Friday afternoon. YAY!!!

I also have my VIN now! It's 1G1YD2D75F5120973

Lucky guy! I'm 4/13 and I'm still pounding salt at 3300 per Kerbecks status which is still as of 4/7. Hopefully when it is updated I will be at 3400.

I just updated the site. I think every 4/13 car went to 3400 yesterday.

Default Tpw 4/13

I also have a TPW of 4/13. I am new to the forum. My car should look exactly like my avatar picture. It should be easy to spot with the black racing stripe. It is a convertible with a black top and I wouldn't be surprised if it is the last velocity yellow to be produced.

Dave I am still at 3300 on your status site.

Jag,

Are you going to be able to swing a museum delivery to pick up the new baby during the week of the Bash? Congrats on your impending new birth!

That would be cool, but I'm having it delivered to my local dealership this time.

Sorry, what site is this?

Edit: never mind, I found it with a Google search. Is this only cars ordered through Kerbeck? I don't see my order #.

Yes - it is only Kerbeck customer's orders.

Dave (or someone there) has been very good about updating it about twice a week since I've been watching the page. Saves me bugging Dave (Salvatore - Dave which is on here) or Dave (B - my salesman) for updates.
