After following your threads on the other car lost in Toledo, I'm happy to see this came through as it should. Congrats

Unfortunately the mojo is up to the dealer. Who did you order from? Ours have been from Boardwalk in Redwood City and the longest has been about 2 weeks to get to 3000. 😊😊😊

Hi Jimbob,
She had a 2014 vert but when she lost her site in her right eye unless the top was down, she didn't feel comfortable or safe not being able to see out the back window. She felt more secure with my coupe so......
That was the answer 😄😄😄

I went with a forum dealer, but GM still hasn't picked it up. Hopefully week three will be the charm!

No, I went with Mike Furman at Criswell. I just had to have Long Beach Red, so patience is my new best friend.

I'm in Santa Rosa and I don't think the dealers around here sell more than a half dozen Corvettes a year if that. It's all good though.

Boardwalk sells quite a few here in Redwood City Ca. I put the order in July 1 and as of July 24, a TPW of August 24 for Long Beach Red Vert 3LT. I'm now at event code 3300.

YES, Tim at Boardwalk Chev in Redwood City does GREAT JOB of getting the orders in. Being here in Calif is the tough part with the transportation being by rail now. Ours was built complete 10 Jul and in our hand Aug 10 ! Fast for all the transportation issues! Built in BG. Trucked to Toledo yard, wait to get loaded on a car to specific areas and then enough filled cars to get moving. Stops along the way and then final destination. Got to also remember these rail cars are NOT ONLY FILLED WITH CORVETTES but brands and models! My 2014 Cyber Grey coupe was built complete on 8 Oct 2013 and at the dealer 18 Oct 2013 TRANSPORTED BY TRUCK !

Bought mine from Tim as well. And BTW, Boardwalk is ~ 13th in Corvette sales in the US.
