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.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
