He was the greatest. Our car was about 5 cars from starting trim at the start of the day and finished by the end of the day. Only 2 were completed after ours. I was really hoping for completion on Monday as were were in bowling green for 4 days. The Plant employees were wonderful thanking us at almost every step.
We also bought the Photo Album and hopefully will get in a few weeks.
Now for the wait for delivery. I was told probably less that 2 weeks.
NRB Convertible , chrome wheels non Z51 with Mag ride. The museum send us a few photos but I cat figure out how to upload here.
Hey you might have gotten to see a few of our cars before us! lucky congrats man

Any chance you got some pictures of the cars on the line when you were there? Maybe some of us can sneak a peek at our babies

Just learned to read my vin. My z51 is production #8,108. I'm surprised they've already built over 8k in the few months they have been making '16s.

Anyone have a lower production number than 8,108 for this production week?

I'm just going off a couple of threads I read on this forum.

When I attempt to activate On Star via the call center I will post whether I was successful.

Received an email from Tracy (@ MacMulkin Chevrolet) this morning. She said, "Your Corvette is on its way from Kentucky to Ohio. I will let you know once it gets on the next rail."

That is my Incentive to complete my garage project before my new baby's arrival.

Interesting, I haven't heard anything from her and I thought mine came off the line before yours. What sequence number are you?

Guess it's time to send her an email!

Well I'm starting to wonder if my car was rejected by QC... I've emailed Tracy twice and called her but I haven't heard anything from her. My order was in before yours so Idk why else it wouldn't be on the train...

Don't read too much into why mine left Bowling Green and yours may have not left yet. There is NO rhyme or reason to the entire shipment process. Heck, yours could leave days after mine but it can be loaded onto the next train out of Toledo Ohio before mine.

Just seems the first car off the line should be the first on the train, especially when it's typically 3+ weeks between trains

Congrats Tom!

Just heard from Tracy this morning that my car is also on the train with Maxies, not sure why she didn't let me know yesterday with him, but whatever who cares, it's on the train!

Just received a call from my dealer and my car is in transit and scheduled to arrive at the dealership on the 11th. Production # 8185. Live in South Florida. Really surprised I will have it this soon after production. Good luck to all of you other 10/5 ers on delivery!

Yeah you east coast people are lucky. Trucks only take a few days to a week from the time they leave BG, us train people get to wait 2 to 8 weeks, ugh.

Enjoy your ride, I'll just sit here jealous of you :p

On the pictures, The only camera at the factory was the tour guides for my photo album, so no . They sent me 4 photos of the finished car, but they only show my car.

My dealer told me the same thing 10-11, but he said they don't ever deliver their cars on sunday. So maybe it will be the 12th

My educated guess is yes it will travel by rail from Ohio to Nebraska.

It gets better. My car (and I assume yours too) made it to Ohio yesterday. It was boarded onto the train to Oregon the same day!!!!

We avoided the "black hole" of Toldeo!
