Default Call from Corvette Museum

I got a call from them last nite about how I wanted the plaque signed . Asked if he had any info , I just posted this week car was at 3100. 3/2 was TPW. Apparently car has moved to 3400 with car scheduled to b built 3/4 . Takes a day I guess. He said they prob will hold prob two weeks or so. Possibly looking at delivery late mar or early April. That’s what the gentleman told me. I’m sure there are some on here that will find this skeptical. Me too. I just thought it was interesting

Yep... if you order the custom plaque or are doing R8C they need to know what you want it to say.

They do hold for 2 weeks. It is a quality assurance hold I believe. They held my C7ZR1 for that amount of time. Whatever Shane or staff tell you about R8C delivery is good info. If something falls through on schedule it will be from the plant. That, they cannot help. They go by what they are told from plant.

Congrats! After the initial quality hold ends, the typical hold is approximately two weeks.

Corona virus 2020 would be epic! So is this plaque inside the vehicle or a paper weight you bring home?

Hey King, are you trading or keeping your C7?

Good luck hope your car shows up right on time.

Congratulations!

My car was built yesterday and I received notice today that I'm at 3800. Like you, I'm now waiting for a call from the Museum. Hmmm, maybe we'll take delivery on the same day. My guess is the car will clear QA in two weeks, so I may be slotting in for delivery during the week of 3/2.

What was your VIN and Color? Mine are 5100610 and CMGM (Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic).

A nice wooden plaque for the wall and a nice small one for the console. A really classy touch.

Nothing too baroque or crass.

I wish I had space I’d keep it. Have it on market for 58. Tuff time to sell though. Had a couple nibbles nothing serious
