Ciocca Corvette Gets the First C8 Z06 Dealer Tour

This morning Ciocca Corvette tagged us in a few posts on Instagram from their C8 Corvette Z06 Dealer Tour going on today and tomorrow for their list and others that are interested in seeing the New Torch Red C8 Corvette Z06 in person.

We were able to check out 3 C8 Corvette Z06s at the Barret Jackson auction in Scottsdale where the first retail production order was sold for charity to Rick Hendrick for 3.6 million dollars.

Here are some Instagram Reels & Photos from the Ciocca Corvette dealer tour of the C8 Z06 at their store in Atlantic City NJ that they tagged us in on Instagram @automotiveseo follow us there for more C8 Corvette and other automotive content.

We are excited for the C8 Z06 production and ordering to start as we are a low number on the Ciocca Corvette Z06 List as well and have been loving our C8 Corvette build for the last few years.

If you are on the C8 Corvette Z06 list with Ciocca Corvette in Atlantic City you can track your order here.

2023 C8 Z06 Dealer Tour Raw Footage

This is raw C8 Z06 Dealer tour video from the MacMulkin Chevrolet Dealer tour as well that happened after Ciocca Corvette had their dealer tour with the Torch Red C8 Corvette Z06

Less Than 16% of People Dropped off Ciocca Corvette C8 Z06 5k+ List!!

In this video Records Rebuilds on YouTube who gave the initial helpful information to get on the number C8 Corvette Car Dealer in the country Ciocca Corvette (Formerly Kerbeck) share more insights on the C8 Z06 waiting list.

He starts off sharing information about the recent possible 2nd UAW strike at the Bowling Green KY corvette plant we just posted about recently. And then he shares plotted data about the Ciocca Corvette list and how you can look up your spot in line.

If you are 500 or lower you are going to be in the same spot since not one person on Ciocca Corvette’s C8 Corvette List dropped off.

Here is a webpage of their website to learn where you are on their list with your email that they will be updating at least once per month possibly the 1st and 15th of every month.

Learn more about the C8 Corvette Z06 here and at his video below.

How to Find Your Ciocca Corvette Reservation Number?

If you haven’t received a reservation # for the Ciocca Corvette Z06 List if you provided them the initial $2,000 deposit to get on the list on November 2nd, this might help you.

So “Records Rebuilds” on YouTube who also made a deposit to be on the Ciocca Corvete Z06 list was able to get his reservation # by emailing them an “info packet” so they can line up the wire, email, bank account info and so on.

With receiving so many wire transfers and so many people trying to order from different bank accounts that don’t match up with their name, email, license, etc. it has taken them some time to sort through the deposits which makes total sense.

There were over 2000 deposits based on the reservation #’s we have seen people posting on the Corvette Forums, C8 Corvette Z06 Facebook groups and YouTube comments.

We updated our initial post about the Ciocca Corvette C8 Z06 list here and you can watch the video as well to learn more.

Per the video, instructions have been updated to the following:
Ok guys, big change. Ciocca got a hold of me and they do not want the information coming to one person’s email account. Its helpful to them in sorting everyone, but they want it to come to the appropriate email address: z06@cioccadealerships.com
Please make the subject “info packet” The first step toward an allocation for the C8 Z06 is complete thanks to Ciocca Corvette! This video reveals my number and might help you find yours.
Ciocca Corvette in Atlantic City
Formerly, Kerbeck Chevrolet the number one Corvette selling dealership in the United States, Ciocca Corvette started the C8 Z06 list process on Nov, 2nd 2021 once the Z06 C8 Corvette was announced.
They allowed people to come in person and wait in line and allowed wire transfers at noon their time to be sent with a $2,000 deposit to secure a spot on the list.
Since then they have stopped taking orders and are contacting people with their reservation numbers and requesting an additional $3,000 to weed out flippers and resellers and people putting their name on multiple Chevy Dealer lists in hopes to be one of the first to get the C8 Z06.
Lastly, when you place your order you will need to provide 10% of the MSRP of the C8 Corvette Z06 you spec at that time and your order will be final with no refunds of deposits.

Ciocca Corvette Takes C8 Z06 Reservations at MSRP (VIDEOS)

Today at 12:00PM Eastern (Noon) in Atlantic City New Jersey there was a line wrapped around Ciocca Corvette (formerly Kerbeck Chevrolet) to hand in $2,000 deposits to secure a spot on their C8 Z06 list.

At the same time people like us in Arizona that are on multiple lists already provided a $2k wire transfer online vs flying in and joining the insane line. Little did we know at the time the wire transfer was the best way and there were a lot more wire transfers hitting faster than people standing in line giving their deposits in person.

Some more details surfaced as their C8 Z06 reservation page went live as well where you have to provide 10% of the MSRP price of your spec when its time to order your C8 Z06 which we think is a great idea to really keep serious buyers in the line vs. people still on the fence of ordering one.

The great thing about Ciocca Corvette is they didn’t start a list until after the C8 Z06 unveil and reveal date starting today vs some lists that we know of that have well over 1000+ people and it will take years for them to get the C8 Z06

From what we see this C8 Corvette buzz as we predicted creating this website is not going away anytime soon. We love this platform and have had a C8 Corvette we built  (follow us on Instagram @automotiveSEO ) since March of 2020 after ordering one and getting on a list a day after the unveil in July 2019.

Here is the details from the Ciocca Corvette website on the reservation list process that started today:

Information about the Ciocca Corvette Z06 List is coming out

In this video you will see “Dadbodszn610” talk about him and his wife getting reservation #’s in the 1500s and being advised they can only have one C8 Corvette Z06 per household. He was about 60th waiting in line and gave their cash deposits around 12:30PM eastern standard time.

The people that wired the money via Wells Fargo or Bank of America seem to be getting the lower reservation numbers and good to note for any future releases this a better way to do it.

2023 C8 Z06 Reservations in a Nutshell

C8 Corvette Allocation Update for September 2021 (Dealer Perspective)

In this video from “I Sell Corvettes” Ron Shinault with Weber Chevrolet in Columbia, IL  covers his current C8 Corvette allocation and provides an update to his July 22nd 2022 C8 Corvette Allocation videos.

He was pleasantly surprised with 4 allocations and thinks this a great sign to come since he is a smaller dealer especially with corvette sales.

He also mentioned they will not make a list for the C8 Z06 because he doesn’t think they would be able to fulfill the orders within the first one or two years and doesn’t want to get peoples hopes up.

Lastly, he discusses he has a small list for the electric Corvette C8 the “E-Ray” that has been seen testing with the Acura NSX but again that car isn’t even announced and Chevy didn’t say they will be sharing any information about it at the C8 Z06 reveal at the end of October.

Gateway Chevrolet in Avondale, AZ Marks Up C8 Corvette $50k

Check out this video we found on YouTube where a Chevrolet Dealer has a C8 Corvette marked up $50,000 for sale.

The dealer is Gateway Chevrolet in Avondale, Arizona just outside of Downtown Phoenix to the west of Phoenix, AZ

This is the highest C8 Corvette mark up we have seen so far. When they first started hitting Chevy Dealership lots they were being marked up $2k, $5k, $10k, $20k and even $30k but $50k takes the cake.

Another Chevy Dealership Service Technician Going Over 100MPH

A few months ago we posted an update to a C8 Corvette customer showing a Chevy Dealership service technician going over 100MPH in his car.

And now another Chevy Dealership service tech was caught on the C8 Corvette PDR (performance data recorder) going over 140MPH cutting in and out of traffic and reckless driving with a customer car as well.

What do you guys think? What would you do if this was your C8 Corvette that was raced on the highway over 140MPH after bringing it in for service and an engine knock?

Update: It looks like the video was removed or taken down because the owner was happy with what the dealer offered him which sounds like they agreed to an extended warranty. Per reddit
