My 2017 Grand Sport Order, Buyer's Tour, and NCM Delivery
The next adventure has begun!
After losing my 2014 Stingray in a flash flood on Sunday, June 12, I eventually decided to replace her with a 2017 Grand Sport.
On Monday, June 21, I called Mike Furman and gave him the specs for my 2017 Grand Sport order. The following morning I received a copy of the preliminary order detail with the order number and Event Description 1100 - Preliminary Order Accepted. The following posts will document the journey from order to build to delivery.
I'll start with the Grand Sport as I am having it built. Of course, there will undoubtedly be another "build" thread posted after I take delivery and start the process of modding it.

Saved for Buyer's Tour
I have so much to say about my buyers tour but will have to do so later. I left the plant at 3 p.m. and have to be in Oklahoma City for a 5:30 a.m. flight tomorrow morning to the east coast for the weekend in Carlisle. For now, enjoy these photos!

It was a bummer to read your post on the loss of your 2014 after the work you put into it. One of the better looking Vettes and you were still planning more changes.
However nice to read you are putting that bad luck behind you and moving on to a new GS.
I am sure you will add your special touches to it and again have a show winner.
It's nice they came out with a G/S just in time for you to replace yours with one. No need to mod the front and rear fenders. Hope all works out for you with your new ride.
Looking forward to following your journey to a Grand Sport, especially after having previously read about the unfortunate flood and loss of your vette. Really like the color combo and options to include the buyers tour and museum delivery. I did the buyers tour last year - was a fantastic experience. Have museum delivery on my bucket list...
Good luck and looking forward to pics.
