MY17 VF 2 Redline
Who else is still waiting for delivery?

Gutting me to watch the factory close without having my redline delivered.
Dealer tells me that there are 900 cars at the factory and a shemozzle trying to get them on trucks and delivered to dealers. Mine could be on a truck in couple of days or a couple of weeks!

Anyone else got this problem?

I fully understand ... we drove the actual car we bought, yet it was still murder waiting the week ‘til they had it ready for sale!

Lookit this way, you’ll have one of the most desirable ones, the very last of the very best. Plus apparently these last cars have the best build-quality in the entire GM world, which has to be a plus.

You guys who still haven't picked up your cars will have the knowledge that, not only do you have the best of the last model made but possibly a car that was built within the last day or two of production and the last dozen or so Holdens ever built after more than 69 years and 7.6 million cars.

I reckon it will be worth members indicating their VIN numbers to see who actually receives the latest car built.

Not even just the last Holden’s... the last cars ever built in Australia of any make.

That may not be the case. There is always the possibility that individuals will still build their own cars using components from production vehicles.

The VIN number race would be rather interesting for members on this site,I bet there would be a few later ones owners have but don't know about this site,I know there are two other redlines going to my dealer built same time as mine,one green and a lmf and not yet got a name on them,I shall try to check out their vins.
