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.

Another Method to Get Your Ciocca Corvette Reservation # (Info Packet)
In this video from Records Rebuilds he provides some helpful information to get your Reservation # if you haven’t received it yet.
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.
I need some clarification, anybody, i wired the deposit tue. And I’m awaiting my number,but is the new post of $5000 a misprint, or do we all owe another $5000. Is it still msrp? Confused!
Once they provide the reservation # they were asking for another $3k to add to the initial $2k to weed out resellers or people trying to flip the car and to see who’s serious and who’s not once they get their reservation #. And yes they still are selling at MSRP
I sent an email to the dealership and received the following auto-response. It appears that the reservation numbers are ID numbers, and not indicative of your place in line.
___________
Thank you for your email.
If you are inquiring as to your reservation number for the Z06, reservation numbers are being continuously distributed throughout the week. If you have not received your reservation number yet, it does not indicate your place before or after anyone else in line.
If you are requesting a refund, it will be processed as quickly as possible and put in the mail.
We are aware that you are eager to find out where you stand. We received an unprecedented amount of requests, and thank you for your understanding as we work to attach deposits to licenses and emails so that we may properly distribute reservation numbers.
Due to the amount of deposits we have received, we are no longer accepting reservations at this time.
We greatly appreciate your patience.

The way we read that, is they are just saying just because you haven’t received your reservation # yet doesn’t mean you are further back or further forward in line. The reservation # is your place in line though once you get it.
