I have my C8 build date and order number!

Got a Christmas present from my dealer today.
They gave me my order number and build date for my C8 corvette.
Build date is 3/2/20
So it wont be much longer

 

Dang I got nothing but promises.

 

You are going to have a low serial number. Isn't that the second day of production?

 

Not sure about it being the second day of production but I do know its very early in the process so yeah I expect a low serial.
I am just happy my wait is short

 

Just Curious as to when you placed an order? Were you in on the 1st day?

 

Ordered mine through Kerbeck and have a 2/3/20 TPW. First week of production. I almost wish it was a few weeks later so they can get some practice in.....

 

^^^^
They've been building cars for some time now, for final validation.

 

For others frame of reference: I’m #1 at a small dealer (20 total allocations for the year), and I have a TPW of 3/9. Delivery in April???

 

Rumor has it that in the next 10 days they will start to take Convertible orders.

 

Been putzing around with the Configurator.

I think this will be my spec.

Long Beach red tintcoat
Silver stripes
Bright red calipers
3LT
Full tan interior
Premium floor matts
Red seat belt

Mechanical options: Front lift and performance exhaust

About 85 grand. I think its rather pretty. And from what I gather pretty rare from what most are ordering.

Here is LBR on a C7. Reminds me of Rosso Portofino

wow! C8 Vert looks good!

 

silver calipers would tie in nicely w the silver stripes.

 

Unfortunaely they don't offer silver. Only dark red, bright red, yellow and standard black.

 

GM May Target Dealers Charging Over MSRP for the 2020 Corvette with Reduced Allocations
blah blah blah - jump to 6th paragraph

I’m hoping to receive mine by July or August.

 

I was going to do LBR, full tan, but I wanted to see LBR in person- some pics didn’t look good, seems like one of those colors you need to see in person. I think it will be awesome. Probably do something similar when Z06 rolls out.

 

I think LBR will look more brown in cloudy/overcast weather conditions but look amazing in the sun. It reminds me of Mclaren's Volcano red.

 

Put the horse on the hood would fool 95 % of the public.awesome.

 

GM pulled all target production weeks down, unless you hit “status 3300” in their ordering system.

For reference I was originally told 3/9/20, then that disappeared. I was told by concierge yesterday that I am now at 3300 and back to my original TPW. There does seem to be some minor shuffling for whatever reason- some moved up, some delay.

 

That is a nice looking configuration. Body colored side moldings I'd try, but the color and interior goes great together. Silver stripe adds "maturity"

 

Spoke to my dealer this evening, my car is at status 3300 Order Scheduled for Production and is on target to be built this coming Monday March 2nd.

 

Status is now 3400, and my car has a VIN

 

Here are the key build codes for anyone interested:

1100 – Preliminary Order: As soon as your order is placed with GM, the status code is automatically set to this number.

2000 – Accepted by GM: At this status, GM has accepted your order.

3000 – Accepted by Production Control: Your Corvette order has now been accepted for production. A TPW (target production week) date may or may not be scheduled at this time.

3300 – Scheduled for Production: Your Corvette order has now been scheduled for production. A TPW date should now be available. Check order tracking for your TPW.

3400 – Broadcast: At this point, parts are being pulled for your car prior to the start of production.

3800 – PRODUCED: Your Corvette has finally been built!

4B00 – Bayed: At this status, your Corvette has been parked in the back storage lot of the Bowling Green Corvette Assembly Plant and is waiting to be loaded on to a carrier.

4200 – Shipped: Your Corvette has been shipped!

4800 – In-Transit: Your Corvette is currently being unloaded at the Rail Yard and will begin transit to its final destination.

5000 – Delivered to Dealer: Your Corvette has been delivered to your dealer and is awaiting your arrival!

 

Any updates? Just curious what the lag times are between the stages of delivery.

I would be feeling a bit like one of those Overhaulin' folks in the seasons where they told you up front.
