I just got my VIN and my Stingray will be offline on 9/24/2013. The VIN is 1801 and I have Museum Delivery.
When will I get my car? Here is my calculation. Tell me where I am wrong.
According to other information on this site 30% of new C7s selected Museum delivery. 30% of 1801 is 540. That means 540 new Corvettes must be delivered before mine.
If the Museum can deliver 8 Corvettes a day and does deliveries 5 days a week they can do 40 deliveries a week.
540 deliveries divided by 40 a week means it will take 13.5 weeks before I get delivery. That takes me into the second week of January.
It will be hard to wait until January to get a Stingray that was built on September 24 and sat in the back lot for 13.5 weeks.
Do you think they will let me visit my Stingray. Maybe wash it and add some wax?

I think the 30% is too high. If they make 20,000 C7s that would be 6,000 musuem deliveries. They could never do that in a year. I thought 3-5 % would be more of a standard

According to the museum, they received about 250 orders for R8Cs. Which, if they maxed it out and everyone's scheduled worked out...Just over six weeks to deliver all of them. They may have gotten more since, but that was what they told me a couple weeks ago.

Makes my parking lot mass shipment sound even better for you folks. One big delivery on Sat for the opt out guys that will give up there touring rights. It would make since just to catch them up.

There's no way to calculate, they're not doing them in VIN order.

God, I hope thats not the case. Lets hope the Museum does not plan to delivery the current backlog over the next 13 weeks. I seriously doubt GM would let them stack up that many cars.

I don't recall the number, but 8 cars/day seems low. Maybe that was the case in prior years, but perhaps they plan on pushing that up to, say, 20 to get caught up. Once the initial backlog is work down, then go back to 8 /day.

I am sure the actual per day delivery quantity will come out soon.

Someone did an analysis of the first 100 orders on GM'ers spread sheet and 30% had Museum Delivery. In most cases it may be 5% but this sample of orders does not seem normal.

Mine is also scheduled to be built next week. The museum tells me that I am # 143 for delivery which will mean late October.

And the order number is (was) based on them delivering in VIN sequence. They aren't doing that, the plant isn't shipping them over to the museum in sequence.

That could be good or bad. If I move up on the Delivery schedule someone else will move into my January spot.
They can only do so many deliveries a day. Remember you also get a tour of the plant and a toru of the Museum with a personal guide. That takes most of a day.
