The first 2022 Orders

[Thom]

Spencer never called me with updates, except to tell me when my C8 was to be built, and shipped and arrived etc. During the overall gestation period starting with when I got placed on their list whenever I emailed or called for an update it was always relayed to me very quickly.

My 2022 order went in early August in the first batch of 2022 MY orders. Just got a TPW of 09/20 so should get built next week if things go smoothly (Z51 Coupe with magnetic suspension). I see on the US forum that some September orders already have TPW's.

Wow. Congrats... I heard there were less than 100 of those allocations left. Lucky you got yours in, very rare edition indeed.

Did you get an allocation? There is no guarantee you will get that option. We'll see if it goes to 2000. (Unless it already is, of course)

I understood that the 1000 allocations for the IMSA GTLM editions were strickly on a "first come, first serve " basis only. Dealers could order them until they were gone. This was the info given on the GM site and from the Corvette blogger. I was actually surprised there was still a couple hundred left last week when watching Rick Conti.
If Andrew Spencer saw that there was still some left, I'm sure arefin will be getting one... Hopefully

Just wondering if others have heard of more allocations dropping?

Just to let you guys know dealerships are cancelling orders just got a call from Go north Surrey GM from Tony the sales manager telling me their returning my deposit from July 2020 because of “2022 shortages” I can’t believe I waited 15 months for nothing

That dealer is a scum bag for sure!
What do they think will happen? Do they think that dealers will be allowed to buy 2023's for stock or something? That's ridiculous! They should just get you a 2023!

Their screwing you buddy , what 22 shortages? Gm is on track to make more c8s this year than ever

So I called the corvette concierge and she said she will call the dealership and see what happened and see what they can do. I’ve been following the news and heard the same. My last convo with him was that I was next up and I should get a call soon. Then when I call today out of the blue he told me they were “instructed” by the GM to start giving deposits back. I don’t get it I’m just in shock to be honest I’ll update you guys on what happens but I’m supposed to hear back Saturday or Monday

For those who received September allocations, looks like these are moving through the system quickly! I’ve been keeping an eye on another forum tracking Sept orders & a lot of members are already reporting back TPWs for mid-October.

I heard back from Spencer’s earlier this week that my order went to 3000 & sent an email to the museum for shits last night to see if they may be able to give me a TPW & they came back with 11/22. A bit later than I was hoping for but I’m guessing it’s because it’s a Canadian order… will also be interesting if Spencer confirms the same date as well or if by some luck it moves to a closer date?

Either way happy to hear it’s moving along & hoping it comes here before the snow falls!

 

[CamsC8]

Yup and a few of us have moved up the list...I'm now #39.

Spencer's are expecting loads more allocations to come... should be a good fall!

The Museum is never wrong, but remember the TPW is very fluid especially that further off it is. It has nothing to do with it being a Canadian order, but everything to do with the plants build efficiency and your place in line.

Hopefully first Canadian c8 2022 delivery in the Thanksgiving week. Anyone here may share theirs though. My dealer said October but not specific.

WN already has 2022

... And it's Amplify Orange!

Our first 2022 in Amplify Orange Tintcoat

I think it was Harlan Charles who described Amplify Orange Tintcoatas as the Rapid blue of orange. Regardless of who said it, I think it's a very accurate description of the paint, and think it looks great! What say you Canadian Corvette Forms? (Photos are taken pre-PDI and LPO install)

Awesome. GM moving fast.Thanks for the update

 

[CamsC8]

Bill Spencer received their first 22 yesterday as well

 

[BillA]

Too funny. Nice.

I just got on the list. I'm way down at #103. I'm thinking I'll probably get into the 2023 models b4 I get to the top. That's not so bad as I would imagine they will come up with some special things for the 70th anniversary model.
