Wow. Very nice. Congratulations Redman! I'm surprised you got it so early. My TPW was 02/13 also which gives me hope that my AW GS will be in the spotlight at the museum soon. My pickup date is 02/27.

I'm sure Nashville has lots of advantages like good music and good food. I'm about 2 hours south of you in Alabama. I just got an email saying my car is at the museum but will be a little longer before it is on display.

Wow already at the museum? That's great to hear. Hopefully mine's not far behind! It was finished 2/14. Guess that answers the question as to whether the car is held for 2 weeks at the factory or shipped to the museum to be held lol.

Finally, my new vette born on 2/16/17! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ordered 12/27, first TPW 2/6, next TPW 2/13, born 2/16. Now the wait for delivery to dealer and then shipping to me. Will it ever end!

I agree pdkwork. It's like it's a continual wait for the next step! Waiting on order to be received... waiting on TPW date... waiting on being built... Here is where I am: waiting for it to show up in one of the camera's at the museum. Then the final wait is for the pickup date a week from this Monday. It's a good thing the process is going quicker than normal. I don't know if I could have stood it stretched out any further.

TonyBro1, Wish I had done the museum delivery also. At least you will be able to see it and it seems like you will get in it faster than me! A little jealous but I am truly happy for you. I know one day I will be in mine. I will look at the camera's trying to guess which one is yours.

Let us know as soon as you see it on there!! Hopefully mine isn't far behind with a museum delivery of Wed. 3/1. That long beach red GS on camera 1 has been there almost a week....time for some of these puppies to move!

Number 2 spot is open at the museum. It sure would be nice to see a AW GS convertible with chrome wheels show up there.

No luck on your GS yet I see. 😞 I know sales slow in the winter months, but man they must not have many current NCM deliveries pending. About 6 of the 8 cars have been on the floor for a nearly a week or more.

Yep. I happen to check the camera and saw them bringing a dark car out this morning. Pretty car and I'm sure someone is very pleased. I was just hoping it was going to be a white one. Oh well, I'm picking it up next Monday if I have to get it out of the back room! I'm looking forward to seeing your red Z06 too.
