No VIN yet. When did your order go to status 3400?

Default 3400 Status

I called the Concierge number and found out that it had moved to 3400 Status on or about October 18th. My call was on the 22nd of October and they said it had a VIN assigned. Doing a Museum Delivery has a few perks and I was able to get the VIN and validate the 3400 status with them as well. I am crossing my fingers for a 10/30 or 10/31 build date (10/31 was the original estimated date) but the last build report showed my VIN would be built today (10/30). Your ordering dealer should be able to get the VIN for you as well if it has been at 3400 for a few days! The chat bot on the Chevrolet site has been wacked out as it tells me my build week is the week of 12/31/1969. I don’t have a Time Machine in my back pocket to check that out!!!

Default Red Mist Metallic HTC Z51 StingrayR?

[QUOTE=PurdueDoc;1609108251]I had placed an order for a 2026 SR HTC Z51 a few weeks back. Dealership originally told me they had multiple allocations, turns out they had one allocation for Z06, and they did not know when they would get a SR allocation. Talk to another dealership last Thursday, stopped by on Friday and they told me they were getting three allocations today. Created the order and gave a deposit. Today the allocation was applied to the order. Canceled the order at the other dealership and got my deposit check back. Now comes the excited, waiting.



I have a 2023 HTC Z51 StingrayR and it has the natural and black interior with the Jake logos. Red Mist metallic is a great color! I get compliments everywhere I go. Make sure you drop about 40% more window tint onto it. The manufactured tint is already 70%. Dress up the engine bay just a tad - clear cover, rail covers, and motor cover.

I have seen that interior combined with the Red Mist on many vehicles shearing the net waiting on my order. It was my second choice, but I really like the look of the jet black with red stitching. I added the engine appearance package. I did not know there were so many aftermarket options for those items that are even better. At some point, I will likely replace the GM engine cover "window" with something like yours.

Update: Car shipped on 11/8 and arrived at dealership today. Only problem is, none of the dealer installed options (LOP) have arrived at the dealership yet. They are going to do the PDI, and I will get it late tomorrow or Thursday. When the LPO options arrive, I will take it back to get them installed.
