Watch Your New Z06 Being Built Now Cost $350.00

The Spring Birthday Bash in BG was 950 registraions- strong showing! We are a very devoted group of Corvette owners here at Z06VETTE.com. We should have this kind of numbers at our event.
I have bad news for you if you want to watch your Z06 being born. Gm now charges $350.00 to watch your Vette being built. The new program is in effect now & is coordinated & staffed by the National Corvette Museum.
More bad news for the future. The build sheets are no longer placed in the frame of Corvettes. The build sheet from the assembly line is thrown away. The original owner is given one. I had a private tour of both plants with my friend who is a retiree. I started a 2006 Red Z06 vin # 1G1YY26E865126511. I have this build sheet. It was given to me in the Vette. This was my 3rd plant tour. 1st of C6. I also toured the Cadillac XLR portion. I would love to have a XLR!
I saw the 2006 Z06 Indy Pace Car in the National Corvette Museum. It was AWESOME! I encourage all Corvette owners to become National Corvette Museum Members. I am a member & I volunteered at the Spring Birthday Bash. I almost forgot David Hill sighned my coil cover.

$350 plant tour

Who do you contact to see about the $350 to view your car build? Dealer or Factory or NCM?
I think I'll do it!

When you're buying a 70-75k car, I don't think you'll worry about $350 to see it get built.

When your paying $70 plus grand for the car, they shouldn't charge you anything to watch the build.

Here is the link for the Buyer's Tour, but I can't figure out why I have to now schedule 2 trips to BG; one for the museum delivery and the other for the buyer's tour. I'd pay the $350 for the buyer's tour, skip the Museum Delivery (even though it is a prerequisite for the Buyer's Tour) and just make it out once.

I just read the whole thing and it did not say that it was a prerequisite. From what it said you can do the buyers tour only $350 without the Musem Delivery.
