Allocations have been all over the place. Ciocca August, 50, Sept 297.Oct 67. I just hear GM is spreading the wealth to the lower volume dealerships. Guys will tell you they know Nov will be Big, Small Or in between, but no one really knows.

My local dealer got eight Corvettes last year and called me to say that I'm next on his list and I'll get an allocation coming on November 3rd. According to your spreadsheet it looks like from the time things going 3000 to the TPW looks to be about a month on average. If I do in fact get a November 3rd allocation what do you suppose my chances are of getting the car built and shipped before Christmas?

Good news to everyone on the Macmulkin list after 400. I’m 2338 at Ciocca and should be allocated next month so I’m pulling my MacMulkin deposit in the morning. As of this morning I sat at number 400. Your welcome. 😎 What a great time to be a Chevy lover.

I’ve been at 3300 for 3 weeks without moving to 3400 even thou I been told my TPW is 11/1! That can’t possibly happen without production control moving my order to 3400… So I believe you’re being too optimistic in believing that you going to get your car before Christmas, especially when BGA last production day in 2021 is Friday 12/18/21 before the annual Christmas break.

Unfortunately I’m with John on this one.
I was a sept allocation and won’t be built until 11/2. If the production slowdown drags more than a couple days, then than likely means September allocations are still being built mid Nov, and October allocations would be mid Nov through late December, probably. And if slowdown does drag on, Oct allocation might still be on the assembly line in early January.
@John58 the spreadsheet I’ve seen going around shows factory working until 12/23. Is that not right, as far as you know?
To get your car by year end, you have to hope the slowdown goes away in the next couple days, the 12/23 date is correct, you’re one of the very first couple hundred VINs from Nov allocation, AND it gets shipped to you within a few days of being built, despite being during the holidays.
Sorry to be bearer of bad news but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

That’s sort of surprising. I’m a 10/25 TPW but current estimate for my build is 11/2 due to production delays. Make sure anything you book is refundable, because it seems like your date might have been estimated before the recent stoppage/slowdown.

Please add me to the spreadsheet. Deposit taken by Matick on 10/22/21. Order was entered into the system and I have a confirmation number. At 1100. Waiting on a allocation.

I'm also a 10/25 TPW, VIN 5685. Based on the 90 car a day production schedule, I'll be built on 11/1. A week late. It's going to be a long trickle down effect on TPW weeks if this build rate continues.

My car finally made it to the dealership late Monday!! Built 30 SEP. Now just waiting for the installation of the ground effects package and hopefully I’ll be in it tomorrow afternoon !
I was in the first allocation and code 3000 3 AUG. , 3400 12 SEPT with a TPW 27 SEP.
