Probably means nothing (unfortunately). Check the other "Delivery" cams. They have several generations sitting in the ropes. They seem to be just placeholders until real deliveries start.

I don't remember what color he got but I don't think it was red.

Also there is no way that Rick would order a base car!

I thought Rick's car was Black with Black wheels, Red calipers and Red interior.

Someone better be on the look out for transporters leaving BG plant.

Were you able to tell if it's a customer's car? A look at the VIN number may have been helpful

Nope. I think it was a car from the test fleet if I had to guess. It was the only C7 out there.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and sorry for the false alarm. This is not a delivery car.

This is just one of the cars that was on display during the Anniversary event at the NCM this past weekend.

This one to be exact:



It's only there temporarily as it couldn't be outside, can't be in the conference center and needed to be moved from the PDI area. Nothing more to see here.

Thanks Paul -

Will you be able to be the first to notify us when the first customer-loaded transporters leave BG? Sometime is the next hours, maybe? Okay, days? Alright, weeks?

Well, I'll try. Not sure if I'll be the first to know or if I'll be around the forum when it happens. I'll always let you guys (and gals) know anything I can, when I can.

My reason for wanting to know as soon as possible, is because I have registered and paid to display the car at the Vettes & Jets show on the Lexington aircraft carrier in Corpus Christi (Sep 13 - 15). Unless, via some miracle I get delivery by then, I'd like to donate my spot to have another C7 be brought in. I am also not sure if there is an Exec vehicle being driven in Texas. Either way, if you think there may be an interest and you like to coordinate, feel free to PM me. And if, by any chance, we end up with my car and another from GM, I don't mind paying for both. The event is for a good cause - The Wounded Warrior Project.

Thanks

Finally a Base C7 with standard painted wheels in Crystal Red.... Since I keep debating which I'd get : Z51 or Base each with the painted wheels... Thanks for posting. BTW you can order the Z51 spoiler on those if you wanted to.

Really looks good. Can't base your order on negative look of base car. Currently leaning towards base car. If magnetic ride was available on base that would be my order.

I was thinking the same thing. Funny when you see a picture you weren't expecting -- it gives you a fresh perspective. Damn good looking automobile!
