I have my car now for 6 weeks. I really like your chart and statistics.
Too bad more people didn't send you their information.
Thanks for your efforts!

This process, while time consuming, has been a great distraction from my cars continued delays. I enjoy the comments and the PM exchanges that I've been having with many folks here. When my delays became apparent, I was initially both mad and disappointed, but as the issues surrounding 3800 holds and cars being surreptitiously transported to Michigan, I began to accept the delay in the hopes that GM would figure out the issue before my car rolls down the assembly line in BG. The delay is likely going to negatively affect my plans to go to BG with my two adult sons, but we'll figure that out once I have a TPW that sticks.
The good news is that many of the 3800 hold cars and the cars held for the combo HTC/EAP (engine appearance package) have begun to see movement. Although not all the folks in those categories are happy yet. I received an unexpected email on Thanksgiving morning from Shane at the Museum telling me that my car will be built on 12/12 and that I should expect to be able to schedule a museum pickup two weeks after that date. Of course this means that the earliest I could schedule a pickup is during the Christmas holiday break at the factory (no tour). 33.3% of the reason I did a museum pickup was to have my sons and I get the factory tour, museum tour, and pickup the long awaited Corvette. At this point, I'm going to try to put off the pickup until after New Year so that we get the full value of the experience, but that also means potentially driving the car home during January....... more details to come.
Since the list is taking on a decided shade of green with all the deliveries, it makes the users/car that don't have any update even more obvious. I would love to get updates from the following folks:
I know several of you have sent me updates in the past two weeks, but I want to ensure I get your recent data so that the chart can fill in. Thanks. Bob
Well folks the spreadsheet has started to look a lot greener with many folks no having received their cars or having their cars on the way to their dealership for pickup. I have tried to make the distinction between car in hand and car at the dealer or on the way to the dealer. IF the shaded green row extends the full length of the spreadsheet then typically the user has the car. IF the green shaded row only extends half way, then the cars whereabouts are known and a pickup is being scheduled. Unfortunately, there are still a few cars being held in 3800 purgatory in Michigan. The good news is that it is now fewer than we originally saw, but nonetheless we've already seen one car refused by the owner at the dealership due to a mechanical issue, one car refunded because the owner tired of waiting and suspected that the car was a lemon.
Additionally, all the cars formerly on hold for the combination of the HTC and the Engine Appearance Package have made considerable progress with some of them already picked up by the owner. Several more of us (me included) have made it to 3300 and/or 3400 and can see production coming up soon. In may case, the build is scheduled fro 12/12 and since I'm having Auto Armor take car of tint and PPF, I have pushed out the pickup to Jan 8th, so that my sons and I can get the factory tour, since it is closed between Christmas and New Years Day. I may end up with the distinction of being the last car delivered from the August allocation group......not an award I was expecting or looking for. So far, my VIN is the largest number on the spreadsheet although there are still a few other folks yet to get theirs.
I will continue to publish this spreadsheet until the last car is delivered. They sheet will continue to be posted on Fridays, until that happens. In the meantime, I encourage you to read post #1556 on the following thread - https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ussion-32.html The user @mspettel has built an incredible website to automate everything thing I've been doing with this spreadsheet since August. He has done 99% of the work and I gave him a bit of assistance and a copy of the spreadsheet to guide him. I applaud all his work on this still evolving website and look forward to future buyers of Corvette getting all the data (and more) of the spreadsheet without all of the hours spent trying to keep it updated. Take a look at it and register your own car and data to build up his inventory of car data.
As you can see, the spreadsheet is beginning to fill in very green, Unfortunately, there are still a couple of vehicles that appear to be stuck on 3800 hold and there are two of us that were stuck on the HTC and Engine Appearance Package hold, but seem to be moving forward now to 3300 and 3400 status. There are several dates of cars received and VIN's (last five digits) missing, so I've shaded those cells pinkish to distinguish them. Given that next week appears to be the last week of any TPW's for our cars, these updates are likely just a week or two away from being completed. Feel free to send me any missing or incorrect information and I'll update it for posterity's sake.
The spreadsheet is taking one of its last breaths, but I will continue to publish it weekly until everyone has their Corvette. At this point, the last two of us that were on the HTC / Engine Appearance Package hold have been built. However, there are still four cars on an extended 3800 hold and/or in Michigan purgatory. Previously, I think there were eight on this hold, so progress has been made, but if you are one of the four remaining, then enough progress hasn't been reached yet. As you may have seen in a post of mine, my car was built on 12/13 and I've been invoiced by MacMulkin, but they don't expect any payment until the car has been officially shipped across the street to NCM.
If you have a field on the sheet shaded in pink, its because I will still need the date that the car makes its way into your hot little hands......
Love all that glorious green! Intercity is picking up my car early next week. I'm hoping for delivery by Wed, but should have it by the end of the week at the latest. Super excited and excited for your car as well @rfkirk. We all really appreciate your time and dedication!
This is helping me quite a bit as I just went to 2000 and expect to hit 3000 next week. Great to look at data to guess at when I might be driving my new car.
the car makes its way into your hot little hands......
Made me spit my coffee! LOL Bob!
I’ll tell a hot little story. Got my HTC 12/7. Installed side skirts and rock guards. Took the wife to the mall to get some stocking stuffers. Took the top down at a light, cranked the heater, and cruised home. It was awesome. We passed a kid and his dad on a bike and the kid said something like “Look dad, that’s a cool car!” and that’s pretty much all I could ask for.
Technically I am a Corvette C8 owner after a four month wait after my allocation. I say technically since 1) I paid for it, 2) its insured, 3) no more paperwork to sign, 4) no more going to the MM website every Monday and hitting refresh until the latest status shows up, 5) no more using the stupid Chevrolet chat function and saying "NO" so that they connect a human who has better information about the car than my old Magic 8 Ball, and 6) no more waiting eagerly for the email from Chevrolet for an update (never got one). However, my car is visiting with Rudy at Auto Armor in Bowling Green being treated like the princess she is. I will going on my first date with her on Monday Jan 8th at the Museum.
As for the spreadsheet, it sure is looking green these days, with a few notable exceptions. I will continue to update the sheet on Friday until every last one of us has our cars. There are three cars that are on the cusp of being delivered to @photon arbiter@mras350b2 and @yat Additionally, we still have four users/car that are in 3800 hold and/or are in Michigan. Until I hear otherwise from all these folks, it appears that their cars are still kidnapped, they are @ZebraDude@PhaseC8@mp99 and @YeloFevr
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to everyone!
Well funny thing, I just got texted by my dealer rep at Bachman (Louisville, KY) a few minutes ago. He advised that as of yesterday, my car was moved from where it was to a Jack Cooper Transport location. 'If I'm reading this correctly it should just be waiting on a truck to deliver to us.' (meaning the dealership).
Looking like some time after New Years, early January given that I expect this close to Christmas and New Year's everything kind of just locks down everywhere business wise.
Pretty cool news.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on here if I don't surface again until I'm in pocket with the car/pictures!

Well just got an email that my car is prepped and clean waiting on Intercity to schedule me in. It most likely be after the 1st of January and that's ok. I'm one happy camper. Here it is comfortably waiting to come home.

I know that exact feeling, and it's kinda fun to watch the car travel to you through the app.
