Bowling Green Chevrolet Corvette Plant Tours Stop as GM Retools for C7 Production

The C7-generation Chevrolet Corvette will soon be on its way to a dealership near you. General Motors recently stopped giving tours of its Bowling Green, Kentucky plant to the public to begin retooling for the new car.

Between 40,000 and 50,000 members of the public tour the Bowling Green facility every year, but GM indicated that it is stopping tours indefinitely while it retools the plant to get ready for the next Corvette. Those tours will have to wait, as will Chevrolet’s special program that allows Corvette buyers to watch their cars being built and purchase photos from the build.

The production process itself won’t stop, however, and there hasn’t been any official word of delays in making the last of the current generation C6s. In fact, GM spokespeople have indicated just the opposite is true: Bowling Green workers are working overtime to meet demand for the current Corvette. GM has also added 100 workers to help retool the plant for the C7, and plans to hire 150 more additional workers in the near future.

We've known for some time  that the C7 Corvette was coming  — there have been numerous spy photos of it and rumors about possible new and updated engine choices – but this move is the largest indicator to date as to when the car will finally make it to dealerships. With retooling already underway in Bowling Green and test vehicles already spotted on public roads, a debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this January is looking like a strong possibility.

We'll keep you posted!!

Convertible Camaro's Available For Order At Jeff Gordon Chevrolet With A March Production Date

Camaro Convertible's will arrive at Jeff Gordon Chevrolet in the spring of 2011. Take advantage of the opportunity to color and option the Camaro of your dreams. Initial production will be limited, making the first few vehicles extremely rare.

The 21st century rebirth of the Chevrolet Camaro opens a new chapter on the life of the most popular muscle car ever to cruise the boulevards of America.

" We currently have several Convertible Camaro's available to color and option to exact specifications and scheduled for a March 2011 production date." said Mark Santilli, Marketing Manager of Jeff Gordon Chevrolet. “The Convertible will make the all-new Camaro, already a smash-hit, even more desirable to a greater range of drivers,”

The Convertible model will be available in the same basic model offering as the Camaro Coupe. The standard model will have a 312-hp Direct Injection V6 engine featuring 29 miles per gallon on the highway. The SS model will feature the 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 426 hp. A six-speed manual transmission will be standard, with an optional six-speed automatic.

Camaro is America’s most popular sports car, seizing leadership in U.S. sales with the coupe model that launched in spring of 2009 as a 2010 model. The right to purchase one of the first Convertibles was recently sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction for $205,000, with all proceeds donated to charity.

Both a 312-hp 3.6-liter V6 and the top-dog 6.2-liter V8 will be offered, and buyers will be able to choose either a six-speed automatic or manual regardless of engine.

Corvette Engine Build Experience

Built By......... You

Driven By.......You

Exclusive Program Lets Jeff Gordon Chevrolet's Customers Help Create Their Own Corvette.

For enthusiasts who want to be personally involved in creating their Corvette, Jeff Gordon Chevrolet’s new Corvette Engine Build Experience allows them to literally build the engine for their new car.

In what is believed to be the world’s most hands-on super car program, customers who order a 2011 Corvette Z06 or ZR1 can choose an option to help assemble their cars’ LS7 or LS9 engines at General Motors’ Performance Build Center (PBC) in Wixom, Mich. “Corvette owners are some of the most passionate – and most involved – enthusiasts in the industry,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president, Chevrolet marketing. “The Corvette Engine Build Experience offers customers an unprecedented opportunity to participate, hands on, in creating the car.” In addition to building their own engines, Corvette buyers can attend driving school in Arizona or Nevada, take delivery of their vehicles at the National Corvette Museum or watch their vehicles being built at the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green, Ky.“In a way, this is a dream program for a Corvette customer. I would have jumped at the chance to build the 427 in my ’67 ’Vette, and that didn’t have half of what goes into one of these modern precision engines,” said Tom Stephens, GM vice chairman, Global Product Operations. “Today's LS7 and LS9 Corvette engines are pinnacle achievements in engineering, and to personally involve our customers in their final creation shows the depth of Chevrolet’s commitment to make lasting connections with the customer.”

The Jeff Gordon Chevrolet Engine Build Experience is an option your Sales associate can discuss with you. When a customer selects the PBC option for a 2011 Corvette Z06 or ZR1 and Jeff Gordon Chevrolet submits the order to Chevrolet, a special concierge contacts the customer to verify participation and help coordinate arrangements. While travel arrangements to and from Metro Detroit are the customer’s responsibility, the Chevrolet concierge helps schedule the engine build; coordinates the customer’s activities at the Performance Build Center; assists with booking local lodging and meals, and arranges local transportation.

At the PBC, the customer doesn’t merely view the engine’s assembly; he or she builds it under the supervision of and support from skilled technicians. When the engine is assembled, a personalized nameplate is added to the engine next to the builder’s name. It is then sent to the Corvette assembly plant for installation in the customer’s car.

The Corvette Engine Build Experience is possible because of the hand-assembly processes used at the 100,000-square-foot PBC. Technicians hand-build the Corvette Z06’s LS7 7.0L engine, the Corvette ZR1’s 6.2L supercharged LS9 engine and a variation of the Corvette Grand Sport’s LS3 6.2L engine. The PBC incorporates the best practices of low-volume niche manufacturers and the established quality and manufacturing standards at GM to ensure the highest-quality specialized engines. Like all engines assembled at the PBC, Engine Build Experience engines are covered by Chevrolet’s five year / 100,000-mile transferable powertrain warranty.

The Engine Build experience is the latest program Chevrolet offers for Corvette owners. Other programs include:

• Corvette plant tour, where customers can follow their vehicle down the Bowling Green assembly line

• Corvette Museum delivery, where customers take delivery of their new Corvette at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green

• Corvette ZR1 Driving School, which offers complimentary attendance at either Bob Bondurant’s Corvette Driving School in Arizona, or Ron Fellows’ Corvette Performance Driving School near Las Vegas.

Simply put, no other sports car manufacturer can match the level of personal customer involvement that Corvette offers,” Campbell said. “The Corvette Engine Build Experience takes this personal involvement to an unprecedented level.”

The Cape Fear Corvette Club held a 50/50 raffle at their 2nd Annual Car Show with all the proceeds going to the charity and the dealership matching what the club raised.

So far, the Hendrick Marrow Program has raised over 1.7 million dollars and typed over 31,000 marrow donors. But, the race is not over. We still need your help. To learn more about the program, complete a donor form or read patient stories, visit the Hendrick Marrow Web site.
