Corvette C8 Delivery Confirmations

[ABC]

So MilkeCc8's car must have been on the first truck with the silver C8 that you saw.

Mine was the last one delivered, last one on the truck

Yes it was. Hence a two day trip seems to be the norm. I think this is likely on loads that are blended with some US cars. I think a dedicated load of all Canadian cars could do a 24 hour delivery. My load has dropped off four of the seven cars. So my eta in the GTA is 10:00am

 

[Gilles27]

Just got back and wow! to see it in person is unreal. So still probably 3-7 days to take it home as they are waiting for the high wing spoiler, side rocker panels and fender hash marks to show up. I was told at the dealer they install the fender hash marks at the dealership. I thought they would come on the car like the pinstriping. There was some sort of 2 piece front splitter in the trunk, not sure if that is the Z51 splitter or something different, I thought the Z51 front splitter would be 1 piece. Also it came with upgraded rims on the car, but the stock ones they are still waiting on as well. Any one else have the experience on what is what?

I wouldn't wait for the high wing you have your Z51 one already and yes LPO wheels are a 2nd set ( dumb in my opinion that the dealer has to remove tires from one set them mount on the other then you are stuck with silver base wheels that most don't want except for those who want to chrome them) . The day my car gets here the next day I'm driving waited already a year.

I read your post wrong about the wheel if you have already got the upgraded trident silvers you're not getting another set.

I think you have covered it. Our tracking is only so accurate and all my hopes today were a little unrealistic. I did post the load today that does show that the Canadian runs are a two day affair. My car should hit our dealer tomorrow around 12:00 noon. So today was still productive for me. I have paid for the car and now was able to book my Ron Fellows trip for Sept 8&9.

I purchased a high speed 128 gig SD card already. I do get the 2 nights stay. So not sure what that is but it’s all good. I will be down before the mad rush when production volume goes to 2 shifts. I was worried I would not get in this year.

You going to Vegas with other or should we try to make it a CCF meet and greet then drink after for fastest laps. I assume you will be flying out of Pearson

I booked in conjunction with a contact on the FB group of C8 buyers. But I am sure there are still openings. Mark Riel has set the dates. We can certainly flood them with cannucks. Yes I am flying out of YYZ. AC. Let me know if you book too. Happy to meet up with the new friends here.

I can't book till I take delivery of my car but maybe we should show the Yanks why they call us Crazy Canucks

Is this your car in the video?

I read your post wrong about the wheel if you have already got the upgraded trident silvers you're not getting another set.

Ok so I'm a little confused now. When I spoke to the corvette concierge a while back they told me 100% I would be getting the base rims as well. Does it make a difference if you order the car with the base rims and then get the upgrade separate (then you have both sets) vs if you order the trident spoke and they come on the car when shipped then they dont bother sending you the base rim? Hope that made sense. I just hope the High Wing, and side rocker panels come soon. Does anyone know if the Z51 splitter is one piece or if that was the 2 piece accessory I saw in the trunk

Not much I can answer here yet. Maybe tomorrow as mine is a Z51 also. In terms of wheel upgrades. I would not have expected to get two sets of wheels. I would expect that the upgrade price was the cost differential. I did not upgrade my wheels and they will be stock. But I upgraded to the microfibre sueded steering wheel. This was a cost upgrade but I did not expect to get two steering wheels. Just my opinion. As this is my first vette, I have no idea as to how the wheels have been handled in the past. The veteran owners here can chime in on the wheel issue.

Ok awesome thankyou. Actually make sense reading this. Maybe the concierge guy thought I had the black trident accessory and not the spectra.

The Z51 splitter is actually 3 PC.

So for an update on shipping. I have now tracked two dispatched Canadian loads from this week and it does indeed appear to be a two day process if it is a mixed load of US and Canadian Dealers on the milk run. My shipment was dispatched on July 14th. We never know what time of day the truck leaves. It is also about an 8 hour drive from Bowling Green to the Detroit area. The first four drops were completed on my load on July 15th. The truck is now just has 5 remaining Canadian Dealers to hit. Starting with Brantford then to Burlington, then to Humberview. So I am guessing around 11:00 am should be the delivery. Using the Pals System you can track your transport (albeit loosely) from the delivery receipts that are the individual destination signed bills of lading. They are all date and time stamped and digitally signed and can be opened on the website. For those curious, feel free to access the site at Home - JCT Pals Portal You need the trip number which will have a leading "0" added so you input the "0150196006" in the lookup area and the manifested load will pop up.

For people wanting to see their car get unloaded. I can give you my experience.
There are so many variables that determine when that truck might arrive. You have to be a good detective. We can see when the truck was dispatched from BG on the Jack Cooper Portal, and maybe even figure out if we'll be first off, or last off the truck. If you have a good salesman at your dealership, they can tell you what day they THINK the truck might arrive. Sometimes they are correct, sometimes not. A few weeks back, we went out to Orangville to watch my buddies car arrive. At the time, all we could find out, was 1). The truck was dispatched Friday afternoon. 2). His dealership thought the truck would be in late the NEXT week. 3). When we talked to the other dealerships with cars on that truck, they didn't know anything until Monday morning. Two of the dealerships called me Monday to tell us the they were notified the truck would be arriving today sometime (but not my buddies dealership). His car was last on the list of ten cars, so we mapped out the most likely route the driver would take, and concluded he would be last off the truck which would mean, the end of the day. Armed with that information we all met at my buddies dealership that Monday at around 11am. found a nice shade tree and waited together... 6 feet apart. As the day progressed, we could see from the JC Portal receipts that the cars were being delivered in the order we though. We knew we would be last. As we waited outside, I guess word spread within that dealership that there are 3 nuts outside that think their is a Corvette transport was coming today. At about 4pm that truck arrived among a large group of bewildered dealership employees.
After talking to the driver (great guy) he told us he lives in Michigan and was on a run down in the Bowling green area. They asked him if he would like to take a load back up north with him for his journey home. He did, but being late that Friday afternoon, he stopped half way home to spend the night. Arrived home in Michigan Saturday morning. Monday Morning he left his home in Michigan to deliver the 10 C8's to Canada.
So you never know exactly what the plans are when they deliver those cars, except to say, they are going to maximize everything they can, at that particular time.
If anyone has any other ideas on how to track those trucks, please do share.
Mine should be coming in about a month.

Does this sound like a grand theft auto ring waiting to happen leaving 10 most wanted corvettes overnight in the Detroit area, somebody is planning a hit for sure. Please leave VIN #5429 alone the owner can't wait any longer!

YES!!!! first drop!!

 

[ABC]

YES!!!! first drop!!

Congratulations. As this load is a full Canadian Load, I suspect only one day transit time. My load was two days and should see the car soon at my dealer. Morgan did a great video on the delivery process and featured an ELB 2LT very similar in spec to mine. Great to see that Canada is getting about a load per day.

Wow 4980 was just made late friday afternoon and already shipped!
