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.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city

Sat, Aug 16 2014

Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
