The crystal red/Kalahari Z51 convert in transit is MINE! I did the deal yesterday and I'm having it shipped to LA. I should have it within three weeks. Call Amoni at Kerbeck. (609)344-2100 Tell him George Johnson referred you.

I don't know who your dealer is, but you might want to consider Rydell Chevrolet in Northridge if you want to stay local. I placed my order with them a few weeks ago. I am still at "1100", but they claim they have available allocations promised to them from GM. It might be awhile, but you should get one.
PM me if you want additional information.
FYI - I do not work for the dealership.

I have been dealing with this since October 10th hear are codes and definitions for such.
1100-preliminary order accepted ( this is just dealer giving you order number This does NOT mean your order is in!!!!!)
2000- order accepted by GM (THIS means your order is in!!!)
2030- order re-edited (if necessary)
2051- Changed thru web
2500- order preferenced
3000- order accepted by production control
3100- order available to sequence
3300- order scheduled for production
3400- order broadcast
3800- order produced
4000- available to ship
4104- Bailment invoice
4200- shipped
4300- Intermediate delivery
4B00- bayed
5000-Delivered to dealer
6000-delivered to customer
9000- order cancelled
To everyone that is at code 1100 this is your dealer just putting order in to GM.
THIS MEANS NOTHING until you hit 2000! Your dealer has to have allocations to get you to 2000! Good luck all.. hope this sheds some light on GM ordering codes!
BTW allocations to dealers are based on 2012 Corvette sales. Kerbeck has one of the highest allocation numbers. Shipping car cost anywhere from 700-2000 dollars obviously depending on distance from point A to point B IMO small price to pay for a new C7

Hi Zymurgy; I have had my C7 with the Z51 package on order since Oct.4th when the dealer placed the order. I know Iam at 1100 because Marissa from GM sent me an email telling me that. So I have been stuck at 1100 for 4 months now. Are you saying that I can call me dealer and he knows "exactly" what his allocation is????? He never told me that. He just says he has "no idea" if we are going to get a 14 model or if we will have to wait for the 2015's. Iam more than just confused. The whole thing is starting to turn me off. Hope to hear from you. THANK YOU. PATRIOT77
Him saying he has no idea to me means he knows he has no allocations and is just hoping some other dealer passes on one of their allocations.

Your salesman may or may not know. The Sale Manager most definitely knows how many 2014 corvettes he is allotted for both phase one and phase 2. Phase 1 is over and we are into Phase 2.

Your dealer (somebody there) knows exactly how many allocations they have left for the 2014 model year. What they don't know is how many Z51's will be included in those remaining allocations because Z51 is still limited availability. Small # of allocations means less chance of getting an allocation that includes Z51. Same for any other options that are on constraint (FAY, C2Z and some others).

I get wanting to support your local economy. The city I live in even has restrictions on chain stores moving in. I buy from local farmers and the mom and pop stores when I can. I tried dealing with the closer Chevy dealers (13 to be exact) to get a Stingray but after 2 months of hearing "anytime now" I went with Kerbecks.
Two things happened last week, my car went to 3000 status with a TPW of 2/10 and the local dealer that promised me they would get me a car called to tell me they were sending a sales rep to the training course...finally.
Something to think about as well is, if you are ordering a car with constraint items, your smaller dealer will most likely not be able to get your order through. A dealership with 3 allocations trying to get Z51 (50% constraint) and CF Dash (20%) might if lucky, get 1 Z51. 0 CF dash. Where as a larger dealer getting 30 would get 15 Z51s 6 CF Dash

I really wish more would read this when they get that crap that their allocation is "next up" or being "reviewed"....a dealer knows EXACTLY how many cars and approx when.....anything else is just a smokescreen to hold you, and most importantly, makes you wonder what else he has fabricated, or will fabricate in the future.....

FYI, I was all excited Thursday morning when the Chevy chat line indicated my order was at 2051 [changed my previous September 09 placed 1100 order by deleting the FAY constrained option]
07:59:19Customer:Yes, I removed FAY [on constraint] last Thursday to speed up the process.
08:01:17 XXX:Thank you, the last update was January 23, 2014 which would have been the day you had that done. It is still at order edited code 2051. I would advise checking with the dealership to see why it is still at that status.
08:02:46Customer:What does code 2051 mean, does that mean it has finally been accepted by Chevrolet, I have previously been at 1100 since 09.09.2013.
08:03:00 XXXX:That is the edit order code.
08:04:08Customer:I do not understand, is 2051 better then 1100?
08:06:01 XXXX:In the sense that they have changed your order specifications yes. It has been accepted.
Less then a couple of hours later was told it was still 1100, that 2051 just means an internal change only, not accepted.
"You do have 2051 listed on your order, but that just means the order was changed through web. The official event is still 1100-Preliminary Order Accepted."
Now why in the world would they use 2051 instead of 1151 to denote an edited, but not accepted order?

This is what frustrates me about the whole GM ordering process. I understand the whole issue of the dealers working their butts off in 2012 to earn the allocations for the 2014 Corvettes, but you have those loyal customers that have been waiting for months at dealers who were promised allocations from GM, while others who are willing to go through the out of state purchase process and are getting production dates for an order they placed last week.

The only thing I have on constraint is the painted roof. I am willing to go to the transparent roof (which I have on my C6) when they get to me on the list.

FYI, I ended up cancelling my order with Rydell next week and placing a new order with a forum dealer. After trying to get answers for weeks regarding the status of my order, I spoke with the sales manager and the person in charge of the ordering. The answers were not what I was expecting, they were hoping GM would give them more allocations since at this point they are only getting 2 a week (at best) and they couldn't promise any ETA. Given the constraints on Z51 and other items, the chances to get an order with them are slim to none. I would check with them if I were you.

I just talked to a friend of mine in Torrance CA and he said he put a deposit down for a new car and it will take 8 months for delivery.
8 months! I told him to contact Mike Furman and see if he can do better.
