Default 2014 Stingray Production Has Begun!
This morning I discovered that one of my initial orders placed during the first round of allocations has been produced!!

I will be notifying my customer in a few moments!!

No information relative to when it will be shipped but it was definitely built yesterday...

And the VIN ends with E5100006. Yes, number 6!

Congrats to my customer.

Have a great day,
Ken Fichtner

I have been a member of the forum since it's birth...that's another story!

I have always published factual infomation and avoided rumors.

So the fact is PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN!!

You heard it here first and from me!

This backs up a claim by a member on another forum who was informed that his car VIN ending in 105 was produced, but only shows Queued for Production on the tracking site.

Now as Ken stated, who knows when they will ship, none the less it has finally started

That's cool for the soon to be owner. I assume Hendrick got 000001, I wonder who got number 000002.

I think NCM is selling it off in their ticket raffle, which is SOLD OUT.

Pretty wild that the owner of vin. #1 payed about $1͵030͵000 above MSRP, and the owner of #2 will have spent less on a cheap microwave than their brand new Corvette

Now that's a drop in market value.

Thanks again to Ken for the post.
