stopped by there yesterday and I believe it was the correct one. Car was back outside again. Bill said as soon as they finish with another vehicle they brought in, going back in to finish. Bill said he will have AMT engine rebuilders come over and fire it up. "4 hours away from completion" is what Bill said a month or so ago. 🤣. Waiting to get a call back from GM about my case. According to the notes in their file, "Heavily modifued" 🤣🤣🤣Yes. First by Callaway. Elco telling me that voids the warranty! Blatantly false. And of course now it is even more modified bc the engine needed rebuilding due to a failed DOD lifter (a known issue). Plus a fsiled Callaway gadket causing coolant to get into the engine/oil. That was back in April of 2020. 1.month past the 5yr warranty .

that old thread was locked down in December due to too many funny jokes about how this car will never be done.
And here we are coming up on Easter and it's BACK OUTSIDE.
I think one of the old posts was about Easter playing a part in the saga also
turned out to be accurate

Fair point, given track record or the finger pointing and lack of any material activity. BTW, for clarification, are we talking about 2024 being done, or looking at 2025 options now?

Sounds like a good ole standoff. GM isn't liable for the repair but the owner doesn't want to be liable for any repairs or costs and decided he just wouldn't pick up the car. So the dealer said ok fine it will sit outside in elements forever. Owner finally ponied up some cash to get the ball rolling forward after GM refused to move forward. And now a tiny little gasket has halted the entire process for over a month? OP doesn't actually want his car back.

I'm sure a few GM execs lost their jobs over the Z06 on blocks for 3 years incident.
I say we target Memorial Day at this point

Mark just PM'd me.
He said the gasket came in, and they were about to install it, but the fuzzy dice to hang on his rear view mirror are backordered so they didn't want to bring the
car back in until those arrive.
Tracking shows them arriving the week before Memorial Day so fingers crossed.
