I have a new C7 coupe, and plan to sell it to purchase the 2015 Z06. I am on my small dealer's list for the Z06. He only gets one. Based on history, any idea when they will be delivered? Fall 2014? Just trying to decide when to start the selling process for the 2014.

Didn't you mean Fall 2014? Fall 2014 is very likely...

GM has announced "late 2014" as the time for delivery of first customer cars. Considering the OP is talking about purchasing from a "small dealer" which has one allocation, guessing more likely in Spring 2015.
As with all roll-outs of new models, they start slowly, and the mega dealers will get disproportionate amounts of Z06's first.

I'm not expecting to have mine any time before September.

Somewhat related question(s):
I will be trading in my 2011 auto for the "new" Z06, (I would prefer an auto transmission). I recently sent the sales guy at the dealer where I bought my first Corvette a deposit for a Z06, but he told me he didn't know what their allocation would be until later, "We'll know more after the Detroit auto show".
As with my 2011 and 4-5 most recent auto purchases, I expect I will be ordering my vehicle and (like the 2011) getting Museum delivery (if they have the deal where you can work on your engine, I might do that, too) because I'm not expecting something on a dealer lot to be EXACTLY what I want. For the amount an auto costs, I want it to be exactly what I want, perhaps I'm naive...
I've asked part of this question in another thread, got an answer, but have another one:
I was told that my ordering a vehicle would be "applied" to the dealer's allocation. Since this particular dealer is not one the the bigger Corvette dealers in the Atlanta area, I'm wondering if I might be precluded from ordering a Z06 from them, and, if so, if I should be talking to other dealers in the Atlanta area to insure I'd be able to order one? Or, should I expect the dealer to refer me to another dealer if they exceed their allocation?
It might be a frustrating situation, wanting to spend money on a vehicle, yet not being able to do so...

Louisiana dealer correct? Didn't you get that ridiculous discount on the C7?

I really hope they offer some new colors. If not, I am thinking yellow (I did not ever think I would own a yellow car) or white.

If I had to guess, I'd say the Z06 will start rolling off the line in the Oct-Nov 2014 time frame.
