Default How Long

I was wondering about how long it takes a car to be delivered once it has been built on the assembly line. I only live about 180 miles from the plant here in Kentucky. Any of your personal experiances would be appreciated.

Depends on when Allied has a truck full heading to your vicinity. I got mine in 3 days (built 3/1/2006 and at dealer on 3/4/2006).

Yeah, you missed out on a great experience.

Mine took exactly 2 weeks to get to California. FWIW, 4th of July weekend fell in the middle of my car's journey; probably added a day or two to the total time.

If I lived less than 3 hours from the plant and museum, I wouldn't be wondering how long it would take to transport my new Corvette to the dealer... Just check the hundreds of positive comments on that option; you can't go wrong!

I ordered mine 2 weeks ago. I am doing museum delivery and have a build date of March 5th. Any idea of when I will be able to pick it up at the museum?
