OK my car was built on July 21st...I've checked erl, and kzinti from blueoval....
Does anyone know what it means when the vopc erl says it was shipped via convoy carrier on July 25th (I live in MI, shouldnt be long..)...yet kzinti's results show that it doesn't even have a gate release date yet??? I'm confused, and anxious

I live in Michigan as well.
My car was built on April 27th, shipped via convoy on the 29th.Arrived at the dealer on May 4th.
I am 150 miles from AAI.
I would go buy what the ERL has to say. Her information isn't always current, but it's not too far off. If she says shipped, it is shipped.
Hold tight, your nanner shipment is close.

I wish you nothing but the best of luck, and a speedy delivery of your car.
Here's what happened to me.
The computer said as of April 5th(I think) I was shipped convoy carrier. The dealer printed out a sheet, and the ETA was april 26th.
April 26th came and went. No car.
After tracking it down, we found it somehow shipped, but not released. (Dealer didn't even know that was possible) It ended up in a quality hold for 2 months.
It finally shipped convoy again on Early June. A few days later, train, then convoy again.
Hopefully this turns out better for you, than it did me.

No. I know my dealer pretty well, so I talked to him every day. He just looked it up on the computer for me. THe update on the computer is the same as the erl, and what the guy from blue oval does.
I would suggest you contact your dealer, and have him look into it. He can phone VOC, and speak with an analyst, or in my case, they had to get the regional rep involved, to figure out that the car was in the quality hold.
I am sure everything is fine for you, but phone your dealer anyway.

Had the same thing with my personal GT. ERL and our concepts computer system showed shipped convoy but it was still sitting on the ramp. Used my regional influence to expedite it.

You will get a lot more nanners if you start a new thread stating same.
Here ya go!
By the way, what are you getting? Color, style, interior, IUP's, wheels, spoiler yes/no. It's not a GTO is it? Oh yeah, no back order on them - they can hardly give them away at employee discount rates

I'm bummed. Any thoughts? Hopefully - somebody just didn't update their system.

Called the dealer after lunch and the car is there! He fumbled around looking at delivery receipts and found the car on one of them - so I'm glad I called. We're picking it up tonight at 5.
The confusing part about the whole delivery thing is that it's been listed as having been released to a convoy carrier since July 20th and never got a rail car number. So they thought it was still in Michigan. Yesterday the dealer called the Benicia DC and they said the car had been delivered to them - so they just never got a rail car entered into the system. I don't know if it was delivered to the dealer yesterday or today - but the ETA listed was yesterday - so it was pretty close to being on time.
BTW - this isn't even my car. I bought it for my wife for her birthday - which was June 3rd. I'm probably not going to even get to drive the thing for weeks!
