Re: 2014 Vette

In 1992, I bought a brand new Corvette LT-1 for $35,000. Then in 2003, I bought a brand new Z06 for $51,000. Now I hear the 2014 base Corvettes are going for close to $65K. When will it end? As mentioned above, I'm starting to doubt that there will ever be a C-8. JMO

That will never end, the government keeps mandating the auto industry do stuff, they have to comply, good or bad we have to pay for it all. This is not inflation, it is government in your pocket...JMO.

I'm not sure where you're getting that price from. Go to Chevrolet.com the base on a 455HP coupe is $51995.

Re: 2014 Vette

I just spent three days at the Corvette Museum with Tom Hill, Plant Quality Manager, Harlan Charles, RWD Lux Marketing Manager, and David Tatman, Corvette Plant Manager and about 500 close personal friends. All were singing the same song, and I think they might know. In fact the statement they made was: "No salable cars have been shipped." There are around 200 to 300 C7s in the Captured Test Fleet and those cars are out there, but they are only supposed to be in the hands of GM employees. That is their story and they are sticking to it.

There is an areal photo of the shipping yard over on Corvette Forum in the C7 section and you can see the cars staging in the lot. The story of the above Chevrolet employees was they expect shipments of coupes to dealers to begining in several weeks if nothing goes wrong. Convertibles will be by the end of the year. Again -- their story; I am only repeating what they said.

Terry, do know which thread over on the CF has the aerial shot of the cars in the storage lot at the BG Factory?

Since they have started shipping the C7s this thread is as old as the paper on the bottom of Tweety's cage. From page 4 of the C7 General Discussion section:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...9-13-13-a.html

The title of the thread " AMAZING AIR SHOTS -NCM Complex & Plant 9/13/13" makes it not too hard to find.

Thanks, though, for giving me the chance to read up on concerns about the cleanliness o.veryf the car before the transport cover is installed, and other earth shaking issues regarding C7 new car deli
