Default 2026 SR allocation applied

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.

Allow me say that is drop dead gorgeous!

I’m in no sense comparing a Mustang to a Corvette but we also have a GT convertible in a very similar color combination with the back wheels. It works well.

Beautiful build! I am really liking the new interior. This is the hard part and that is waiting for your build to be built. Once you get it the wait will be well worth it.

Order status went to 3400 last Wednesday, 3 days ago, but still no production date. At least it is moving along.

No, I believe his was waiting for production to begin. You'll probably have yours in 5-8 weeks from 3000.

Well, I had mine in about 6 weeks from 3000, but it did take a month to move off of 3000. And production started August 4th.

My order is scheduled for build this week. If you have the VIN then you might be able to approximate the build day. Originally scheduled for 10/31 but subject to change. In fact it appears it might be built on 10/30 based on the last four of my VIN.
