NCM Delivery is referred to as OPTION “R8C” and is available through any Chevrolet Dealer at a cost of $995.00.

Now when you do museum delivery you still have to pay destination charge because the museum can not go over to the plant and pick up your car. It has to be loaded on hauler with other vettes and then taken to the museum and unloaded.

Believe it or not, they are taken to the lot over at the NCM racetrack- and are driven, not delivered via truck.

The R8C option allows you to take delivery of your brand new Corvette at the museum. GM sends some of the cost to the museum.

Here's a Fun Fact: The National Corvette Museum has 8 EV charging stations in their parking lot. Things that make ya go "Hmm..."

Personally, I think they're getting ready for the all-electric C9 to compete with the Taycan.

That just means you have a captive audience for an hour or more. Plenty of time to pay admission and eat at the cafe.

You should be there longer than an hour anyway. The cafe was not open during my visit. Is it new or being remodeled?

There are charging stations over at the assembly plant. GM may be running those as a cost center, but I would be very surprised if the NCM is running theirs as a cost center.

I HIGHLY recommend doing this if you can. I got the R8C option on my C6 and it was like being a king for a day...However, when it came to the things like cranking a Corvette on the assembly line or driving the car for the first time, I pointed to my Dad and let him have that pleasure since he is the one that got me hooked on Corvettes. That day was more about him than it was me.

Did R8C for my 50th Anniversary Edition and 60th Anniversary 427.
Unfortunately, missing in the current R8C delivery program is the personal/private factory tour.
