Anyone know when the first cars are being delivered?

Thanks!

I got my order in the first day they allowed Convertibles to be ordered. As of Tuesday I was at 3300. I'm going to check LiveChat tomorrow and see if I have a TPW yet. I doubt anyone else with a Vert order has gotten their TPW yet either. I am hoping to pick up in Mid January, doing NCM delivery

Congrats Len.

Did you not get the front spoiler?

#1580 NRB with blue top, blue leather, carbon fiber dash, comp seats, Z07 pkge

My visual carbon fiber ground effects are missing. I paid for a museum delivery, but rerouted delivery to MacMulkin in Nashua, NH instead. Shane Webb, the NCM delivery manager is on the look out for my ground effects. It was 37 out yesterday, and decided to pick up the vette while I had the chance. I'll get the ground effects installed when warm weather comes. I have 12 months to still do most aspects of the normal museum delivery.

Even with the cup 2 tires, it handled like a charm for the hour ride home to Braintree, MA. It was kept warm indoors, so the tires weren't cold. I didn't spin the tires at all.

There wasn't too much sun left by the time I got home around 3:30PM, so the pictures are dark. My wife had her '13 427 vert (also NRB) out for the day.

BTW, just so you know, I was approved for the vanity plate JAYZ06, but it was incorrectly made as JAYZO 6; I'm awaiting a corrected plate.

P.S. I was told to leave off the center piece of the rear spoiler unless it's on the track; the gas mileage will supposedly be horrible with it.

My father-in-law's dealer just told him his convertible A8 has a TPW of January 12.

Very nice cars...Maybe if the wife lets me keep the C6 Coupe, I will get a C7Z convertible. Living in Florida makes that a great option. Just don’t want to give up to storage for longer trips.

No, although it was ordered, it is still not available. I was told that when it becomes available, I could install it later.

Ditto on the colour choice Len, that is striking.

I didn't know until I paid for it that I was being charged $590 for color override. I guess the blue interior with NRBM and blue top was too much for GM; and, even with the 3LZ interior, I got cheated out of the suede seat inserts. The A pillars are suede.

As far as the front splitter, my vert has the Z07, so it's stage 3
