Default Tracking ship

I know this has been asked before, but I can not find the post with the link to tracking the ship. Pretty sure it was posted by MJones. My car is scheduled to leave tomorrow on the Sirius Highway. Vin #...2890. Going to Baltimore and then Brunswick, GA. Any help in following the progress will be greatly appreciated.

Try this site http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml - from what I can find out the vessel's call sign is 3ELV3

Thats almost impossible - you need a name of the ship or its call sign. However these ships do 18-20 knots, so passage time is about 7-1/2 days. It should almost be here.

I have an elementry question. Who informs you that your car is scheduled to leave and on which boat? My white GT3 was given a VIN# today and I was hoping it was going on the same boat?

The dealer should be able to find out which ship any car is on.

I got the information from the dealer. Evidently it's all in the computer and they can look up an individual order and tell within a day what is happening. I also understand that it is a couple of days after the car is built before the transportation to the ship is scheduled. The waiting part is not very easy.

Default Tracking info

Today at my dealer, I was able to see their info on all incoming cars. I now have a build date of 5/21 for a car originally scheduled for June. One example in their inventory showed a C2 arriving in Baltimore by way of the Sirius Highway of 2.5 weeks. That is a remarkably fast turn around time. Hope yours and mine make it at the same rate. I am so psyched just to have a build date. Unfortunatley, it is a Monday - hope my engine guy does like to party too hard on Sunday nights!

Congrats, my Turbo also has a completion date of 5/21. How long does it take to build the cars? I figure about a week ,which means it was started today

Was the original completion date set for June and then moved up or was the car a June build that got a completion date of May? Reason I ask is that my GT3 is a "June" build, but has a completion date scheduled of July 17th I would love for it to move up like yours did.

My original date was supposed to be 5/8 so they were ahead of schedule 2 weeks...

My original completion was 6/18 and was moved up to 5/21. Maybe the PCCB supply issue moved up some non PCCB orders, or maybe they are making room for TT cab production...or they know I really, really , really want my car
