Originally there were to be 100 Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro's built. That was the idea from the
Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog, page 44, in 2010. To get one you had to call an (800) number
on October 19th 2010 at 12:00 E.S.T. and cross your fingers. All 100, were "snapped up", in under
3 minutes. They were to be delivered in April 2011 but that didn't happen. Those of us on the list were
informed in March 2011 that they would be delayed till mid-Summer, 2011. Once they were built and
shipped, only 75 of these cars were built in total ( 30 Manual and 45 Automatic transmissions ). There
was no actual explanation as to why the additional 25 were not built.
This one was built on July 5th, 2011 and was the 12th one produced. They were shipped in enclosed
trucks. I picked mine up on July 11th. Each of these cars has their very own Birth Certificate as well
as a window sticker with a M.S.R.P. of $75,000. Aside from the COPO Camaro, these are the rarest of
the 5th Generation Camaro's made.
I spoke to the actual company that painted the cars for G.M. in Michigan. I got ahold of them to see if
I could get some of the paint they used so I could paint the rear difusser the same as the body. They were
very helpful. The person I spoke to said G.M. asked him to paint a dozen cars then they wanted to see
them in person. When they did see the cars, they said the paint was too perfect. They wanted the "orange
peel" finish on the cars to look like all other factory painted Camaro's. Then he asked me which number
I had and I told him, the 12th. He said I got one of the "good ones". I asked him his opinion as to how much
it would cost to paint my other Camaro the same color. He said over $20K, easily, as they dismantled the car to
paint it. If you open the hood you will notice the engine bay is gloss black. Besides, this tri-coat paint is really expensive.
The window sticker calls the paint "Bordeaux", which is not the actual name after all.
The color is "Mystic Bronze Metallic". You will notice that is does not actually photograph all that well.
When you see one in person, depending on the light, it looks purple, brown, bronze or burgandy.
The paint on this car is perfect. No scratches, chips or dings. It has only been washed 1 time in 19 months.
It has been waxed 9 times. It is kept in an air conditioned and heated garage, under a silk Cover-King cover.
It has never been driven in the rain or even parked outside over night. The top has only been down 5 times.
Before it had 20 miles on it it went to Pro-Tech and got a clear bra treatment . It covers the entire front, lights,
mirrors, rocker panels and bottom rear quarter panels. They did an awesome job then jabbed me with a $1,600 bill for it ( worth it! ).
 Now, last thing regarding the paint. Devious Designs, here in Las Vegas, is the best in the business when it comes to painting cars.
 The owners literally said that this car has one of the best paint jobs they have ever seen in regard to quality, the wet sand, and the clear coat.
They are also the people who painted the other parts on this car.
The stock, all original car was , yes, really cool. But, I have never been one to leave it at that. Keep in mind that
I have all the O.E.M. parts and the car can be returned to "stock" with ease. In my opionion, I took over from where
the designers quit. Like I mentioned prior, I had the rear difuzzer smoothed and painted the body color. It just
looked unfinished and it really made a big difference. While we were doing that I had a Borla A-Tac cat back
exhaust installed, with an X pipe. It needed to sound like a Camaro, not a sewing machine. After that I installed
the roll bar. With the top down, it looked like it needed to look "tougher", and now it looks really much better than before.
The rims were exclusive on the car. The polish that was done it extremely nice but they didn't accent the cars
colors. My thought the Amber interior would benefit from a gold center mesh rim. I got ahold of Forgeline Racing
and told them what I wanted to do. Not only did I want a "one off" rim, but I wanted a center lock rim. They make
a custom kit that eleminates the lug nuts. They are very light, very cool and over $2,200, each. While that was going
on, we installed Eibach Pro springs to lower the car 1 1/2 inches, all around.
There was something bothering me about the front grille. There was no accent and looked like most other Camaro's. I
ordered the Heritage grille and had it painted the matte gray that the windshield frame came with, another big difference in appearance.
The windows got the latest 3M tint applied, not too dark , just right. The engine is left stock. It's hard to return a car to original if you start
doing motor work. It's a really rare car so I want the value to stay as high as it can. It got an oil change at 500 miles. The car has 960 miles on it.
That from going to some car shows and the Saturday morning car club meets. That is an average of 1.7 miles per day but is no "daily".
This is a great car to add to a collection or as a display for a car audio company.

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study

Wed, Jul 22 2015

The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car. Check out the official release on the 2015 APEAL Study, available below, from JD Power. 2015 U.S. APEAL Study Results The latest safety-related technologies are among the drivers of customer satisfaction with new vehicles, according to the J.D. Power 2015 U.S.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
