Believe it or not I'm actually hoping for the week of the 24th four I will be on vacation with my family the week of the 17th. But in any event I will be talking to my dealer on Monday to come up with a game plan in the event it is delivered while I'm gone!

My car was built on 2/20, and shipped by rail to MacMulkin on 2/22.
It is scheduled to arrive at the Selkirk, NY railhead on 3/11, and in discussions with Tommy Jr, it will take 3-7 days to get from the railhead to MacMulkin.
So, by my calculation that is 4 solid weeks from being built to arriving at the dealership via rail transport. I assume that is about the norm.
I am expecting to pick it up on 3/22, which will be 9 weeks from order acceptance - had it gone by truck from BG, the car would have been there three weeks earlier.

Thanks, Ken. I'm not sure it went "quickly". But I did want to encourage the OP and others commenting here that maybe the trend in shipping time was decreasing? If my car sits in the railyard for 10 days when it's only a few miles away from the dealer, I'll get very anxious.

I'm also in the gang with a 3/10 TPW and transport to MacMulkin.
Worst part is I live five miles from the Selkirk railhead. She will be so close but Ill have to wait another week or so before I can go get her.
Good news is I know a lot of guys who work at the rail yard and going to have them take pics as it gets unloaded. Maybe I'll end up with pictures of your rides too.

Looks like this is shaping up to be a Z51 week! Our cars should be going done the line on the same day. AW Z51 as well!

Do you know if your dealer is honoring the old pricing? just started reading about the price increase I think they should honor it! It's been a long 6 weeks of waiting!

My TPW was 3/3 and my gorgeous baby was born on 3/5. I purchased it through Tommy Jr. @ MacMulkin but am having it delivered to Southern California with a courtesy delivery in Orange County. I don't want to even think about how long it is going to take via rail to get here. Someone from San Diego who bought from Tommy Jr. told me to expect 6 weeks. All I can say is about a 6 week delivery time is say it ain't so.

Several forum dealers have confirmed old prices honored for any orders at 1100 prior to 3-3. So those of you with TPW's are fine.
It's funny watching the posts. I was in your shoes a few weeks back. I think we get more anxious as we get closer but knowing it was built was a "reset" on my clock. Tryin to enjoy the anticipation.
FYI: My TPW was 2-10 and my build date was 2-17. I got a bit nervous over that. If you guys are lucky, you'll get built early in the week.

Going out to the garage is fulfilling though. Hope you all get them soon and get on the road, they are a great increase over my old Grand Sport.

The GM tracker thread is probably your best bet. Really the only date that matters is the actual ship date, then you can forecast the arrival. Could take a week or two after the actual build to get shipped. Another thing QC could pick your car at random and delay the shipment another additional day or two.

I've posed in the GM track thread (over the weekend) but apparently Marissa has other things to do - imagine that
