The date does show March, but that is the car currently in the live feed on #3. Guess their camera system dates are off.

This is an interesting car - originally delivered under RPO R8C, the owner wanted to add the Callaway package, then take re-delivery under the "NCM Xperience", where the NCM Delivery Staff completely goes over the car, prepping it for delivery as if it were new.

We were surprised to see the delivery team signatures under the floorboard when we converted this car. The owner also has other Corvettes, including an amazing 1991 Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette which was at the NCM during a Callaway display a few years back. Here's a pic of that car - his new one is still on the live feed:

Yeah, perhaps something happened with the dates, as it's still there on Camera#3

I was at the Museum a couple weeks ago. I don't know why, but you can bring your own car (doesn't matter what year) and go through the experience for a price. I saw a guy go through it with a 2011 base model. I have no clue as to why you would want to do this but hey, to each their own!
