From the National Corvette Museum email today:

"Buyers Tours, R8C & Photo Albums Available

Mark your calendars for September 30, 2013 – because that’s the day the GM Bowling Green Assembly Plant will officially open their doors to Corvette customers participating in a Buyers Tour or R8C Delivery, and the Corvette Photo Album program will kick-off that day as well.

Customers are encouraged to go ahead and purchase a buyer’s tour and/or Photo Album if you are interested in watching your Corvette being built (or having the process documented with photographs). Upon purchase, the Museum will work with the plant to begin tracking your car. Should your car be built prior to the September 30 tour start date your money will be refunded.

At this time, these are the only three programs that will be given access to the plant. V.I.P. Tours, NCM Xperience and regular Plant Tour opening dates are to be announced at a later time.
If you are not familiar with our Delivery programs, please visit our website to learn more."

can only do factory tour if you optioned the museum delivery?

A real date, from an official source. This has got to be exciting for all those clamoring for details and information of when their cars be built/delivered.

Can't wait for all the comments to follow.

Yes it's part of the museum delivery that's the v.I.P tout

The Buyers Tour, appears to be different from the Museum Delivery option R8C, which includes a tour of the factory.

See:
http://www.corvettemuseum.org/ncm_delivery/index.shtml and

https://store.corvettemuseum.com/services/buyertour.asp

It looks like the Buyers Tour attempts to get your personalized tour of the factory on the day your vehicle is being built while the R8C option provides for a VIP Tour of the plant prior to your vehicle's delivery at the NCM.

Questions? Call the NCM for specific details

We're disappointed, we had hoped to to the Plant Tour when we swing through BG on Sep 25 during our USA wide holiday.
We'll still do the Museum tour though.

Im set for Museum delivery. Wonder why I didn't get this email?

zhopper05

We got the email, I believe, because we are either members of the NCM or simply on their emailing list. I am not doing Museum delivery, and I got the email today.

So, now who wants their order to be DELAYED so they can get the buyer tour?

XC6VETTE

Yes, the thought occurred to me....i signed up for the buyers tour yesterday. Perhaps my timing is perfect for a change.....looking forward to a TPW I can plan around.

AORoads

maybe it's because your car hasn't been scheduled for production yet?

Gremans.
This was already posted yesterday. It is old news.

Still plenty to see in the USA. Enjoy your holiday in my country. Visiting NZ is on our bucket list. Maybe we will be down under someday?

Did you fill out your TPS reports?

Cruiter

If it's only a few days to a week or so, they usually have some lattitude for weather or other unexpected reasons to delay. Your car will just be parked inside probably w/stanchions around it. Look at it on webcam .

I'd call if and talk with them if you're only 5 days out and delay your delivery.

I received the email and I don't even have a C7 on order.

LOL
Actually this concerns me because I told my dealer and Shane at the museum that 9/30 is basically the only day I have to do my museum delivery and they both said should be no problem (at 3000). Coming from Nor Cal any other time becomes problematic.
