Congrats !!!!!

So give it a couple of days, and go to Chevrolet's website and in the upper right corner you will see "owners"..... click on that. Then look down just below that and click on "Chat Now". Fill in the blanks, and use the drop down tool under "How May We Help You" and choose "Check the status of my Vehicle Order"...... it takes the customer service rep only a couple of minutes to check the status while you on on the chat site. Be sure to ASK specifically, WHAT code # is you order at.

As MPUZACH described above, you are at code #2000 you know you're on the way.....

Congratulations on getting the order placed. I just brought my new car home today. 67 days from order to my garage. It seemed a lot longer

Just got word from Mike Furman that my Stingray is being built this upcoming week. I am excited, of course, but am not in a big hurry. My 2015 Altima (the daily driver) is sad because it's going to lose the (single car) garage to the new fiberglass baby.

I put my '04 Silverado up for sale yesterday and someone put a deposit on it today. He's supposed to take it home tomorrow. I'll miss that truck, but all good things must come to and end. When one door closes, another one opens.

Congratulations! Sounds like your car will be similar to mine (2LT, MRC, 7M, NPP, Carbon flash badge package, Carbon flash painted mirrors and spoiler, black wheels).Mine took roughly seven weeks. My salesman texted me pictures of it arriving on the truck. Unfortunately, I was nearly 10,000 miles from home (Mumbai). Drove straight from the airport to the dealer when I got back to New Orleans. Here she is last Saturday at Cars and Coffee:

Congratulations! I went through a small dealer a couple months ago. They asked for an allocation to cover and in a week I had my TPW. Was complete about 4 weeks after order. It was about three weeks after that when I picked it up because I did museum delivery and that was when I could make it to Bowling Green.

We did drive it back to CA. We lived here n Kentucky for 7 years, so it was a nice chance to go back to that area.

We took 5 days, and it was great. A good way to get comfortable in the car. We did leave Kentucky in a pretty heavy rain storm, so I got to try out the weather mode right away! The was amazed how comfortable it was.

So you went from order date to build week assigned in a little over two weeks. You know how fast that is?
