However, our attention was definitely piqued with this post on the Corvette Forum from a Montana Chevrolet dealer offering to sell two new Stingray “Stock Orders” for under $3,000 MSRP.

It’s Thursday and that means the GM order banks are opening up for dealers to match their just-received allocations to their customer’s orders. This order cycle features a Target Production Period of November 13-19th, but like anything, orders placed now could be built earlier or later than that date.

Previous order cycles were more specific to each model, with Stingrays being ordered one week and then the Z06 being ordered the next. In this order cycle however, some dealers received allocations for just one model while others got allocations and can place orders for all three models. With GM opening up the order banks, they sent dealers the latest constraints which we have for you below.
