It also shows 4 gallons of gas, 32 psi in all 4 tires and 28 miles on the car.....so I'm guessing it was a quality audit car. But it's not moved or anything in over 24 hours now since I got access. Car is coming to Raleigh, NC, so maybe there just aren't enough cars coming this way yet? Waiting to see if the status code has changed again, too. Last I got work it was still at 3800. Anybody else have any news on cars built in the last couple of weeks????
I received notification of Status 4200 (Shipped) on Wednesday and was on its way to Toledo OH rail depot

Awesome! Maybe because there's enough or soon to be for a train load. Hoping mine is getting close to having enough to ship it out. Didn't hear back yet on my status today and it still is in the lot at the plant.

I saved this link Mike. Is this the one you were thinking of?

Took my Laguna Blue Stingray to Criswell this morning for an oil change and saw the one in this post plus this new ELB Z06. So tempting... Looks very similar to my Laguna Blue but looked a tinge darker plus more metallic. Beautiful.

My Grand Sport came in on Friday and I'm picking it up today. Here are a couple preview pics in different lighting.

Damn, looks nice, must be a brand new arrival. It wasn't there last week when I was at Criswell for MSRC upgrade, etc... Is it M7 or A8?

Just beautiful! Mine is still in Bowling Green as of this morning with 28 miles on it, getting extra quality audit since it was built on 10/11. Sadly with this delay I doubt I'm going to even get much chance to see it before December as my film installer has about a 2 week backup...so we're trying to set a date as soon as we can knowing the car will be in and PDI complete and ready for the install...but I'm gone away the last half of November working and won't even be in the same state as my car....

Can't wait to see more pics from you and everyone else! I've been waiting for my car since I made the Elkhart color decision back in May....waiting for Admiral to be over, waiting for the ELBM order window to open, waiting for it to be built and now waiting for it to be delivered....lol

I just checked their website and looks like new arrival. A8. Great spec. Might need to get myself an early Christmas present. ;-)

Thinking the same thing... but since it is not M7 I am safe for now... I think.

I really like the new ELB color. It does look a lot like the old Laguna Blue that I wanted (but GM discontinued it after the 2016 model year) when I ordered my Torch Red 2017.

I am quite pleased with my current C7 and just turned 7,500 miles on it. If the Powerball tickets my girlfriend bought end up being winners, we likely will be buying at least one 2019 - probably an ELB Z06 coupe. Hey; a man can dream!

Beautiful car and color combination. My ELB Z06 left Criswell Monday and is headed to Oklahoma.
