Multiple underhood Signatures highlighted by:

Scott Settlemire (F Body Godfather)

Cheryl Pilcher. Camaro Product Manager 
Adam Barry, Senior Creative Manager for Chevrolet Camaro 
John Fitzpatrick, Marketing Manager for Chevrolet Performance Cars

The Camaro was chosen as a Camaro Forum "Car of the Year" and awarded 1 of 3 Signed BBMOG Lithographs with over 100 signatures.

It was also chosen as one of 187 random Camaros to get the "Oshawa Litho" that was signed by Michael Judge and his team of incredible line workers that were involved in the build of the 5th Gen Camaro.

Car was purchased for the strict use as a "Shop Car" to prototype and test numerous parts and ideas from Doug Thorley Headers, Oracle Lighting, LG Motorsports, 6LE Designs, Pfadt Race Engineering, SRP Pedals, and many more. 

It's been tuned by no less than 3 people at different times and configurations. 
As it sits now, the car will make a safe and reliable 481rwhp/466tq to the wheels. 

It's previously seen track use at a local AX track where it got up close and personal with a tire stack back in 2010. I can attest that we learned the limits of a stock Camaro, on stock suspension, with stock tires and brake fluid that day.  

All inspection and repair work was done by a professional shop and only the appearance items (fender and Fascia) needed to be replaced. (This is when we added the stripes and GFX kit to the Camaro.)

It ran the 1/4 mile one night when it was bone stock. 13.37 @ 108 @6800 DA. 

Professionally maintained by Southwest Speed where it gets the Mobil 1 treatment every 5k miles. 

The car is tight, right and ready to turn heads anywhere it goes. 

I drive this car without reservation all the time. It goes to several events around the Southwest and was used for many fitiments at different facilities across the country for new parts. 

The Camaro has been from NM to Florida 4 times, Louisianna 3 times, Texas 7 times, Arizona at least 20 times, Utah 1 time, Colorado 6 times, Oklahoma 2 times, and California 3 times. Prolly more but those trips I can remember. 

It makes a trip to Phoenix at least once a month where it last averaged 24 mpg there and 27 on the ride back (downhill). 

The car drives, handles, and sounds incredible. 

There are no stoplights you will come to where somebody asks you about the car. This is a true head turning Hot Rod.  

This is your chance to own one of THE trendsetters.....everybody everywhere knows this Camaro.

Autocheck shows it as scoring a 89 with similar vehicles score of 76-83

Car has 72xxx miles and is daily driven. SWS LLC Reserves the right to end the sale at any time. Nobody at SWS wants to see this car leave as it's been a hallmark of who we were in the beginning and how far along the car and company has come. 

But it's simply time to start over and do it again.... 

NADA, KBB, MMR and the Black Book range is $24k to $27k. Has over $20k in parts added to the car not including labor. 

Sample Idle video of the Camaro here....  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXHymxQIGBY

Please call with any questions about the car (505)554-9898. Be advised, this is a used car so it's far from perfect.     
Revolution Styling Hood and ZL1 Decklid Spoiler removed for reduced price listing. OEM hood and spoiler will come with the vehicle as well as the painted 21" GMPP Wheels. Call if you have any questions aboit the car at all or would like any other pictures of anything specific!

EDIT:  Lots of phone calls about the car and "if it can come with this configuration or with that..."  The Camaro in the auction will be sold with the Painted Black GMPP 21" Optioned wheels.  The Polished ones were used for a some photoshoots but the Black wheels were and are much nicer with zero blemish on them.  So they will come with the car.  

If somebody commits to the Buy it Now or the action goes over 30k, I will include the set of Brand New, One Off USW Forged stepped lip Wheels with brand new Pirelli PZero tires that were only used for SEMA roll in and that's it.  These wheels alone sell for over $5k retail.  Tires go for an additional $1800 normally.  That's almost $7k in freebies right there.  

Bid now and bid often....there are several trade offers on this vehicle currently but would rather see it go to somebody who will use this Car and not want to flip it for a quick buck.

Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet is the ultimate safari machine

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Update: A Mercedes representative has informed us that the Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet will not be available in the United States. The text has been updated to reflect this. Vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 and G500 4x42 are all well and good, but they have one key issue: They simply aren't extravagant enough. Now we know that sounds insane because one of those vehicles has six driven wheels and the other is available in tennis-ball green. But they must not be decadent enough because Mercedes went a step further with the new Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet. While the most obvious change here is the soft-top, which will make this perfect for the wealthy to view wildlife on private safaris, we should start under the hood. The previous two monster G-Wagens made do with lowly V8s. This one features a twin-turbocharged V12 making 630 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Like its predecessors, this G650 uses a four-wheel-drive system with front, center, and rear differential locks, and sends power to solid portal axles front and rear. These axles move the differential and drive axles above the wheel centers for additional ground clearance. Inside, the rear passengers will be in the lap of luxury, even while the driver is navigating particularly harsh terrain. The soft top can be electrically raised or lowered, as can a glass partition to the driver's compartment. The two individual rear seats can be fully reclined, and leg rests deploy from below, taking full advantage of the truck's long wheelbase. This would likely make for an amazing vehicle for stargazing. The passengers also have access to folding tables, 10-inch LCD displays, and heated, cooled, and illuminated cup holders. Only 99 of these G650s will be built. Mercedes will show the SUV at this year's Geneva show, and it will hit the market this fall. Mercedes hasn't announced pricing, but expect it to be exorbitant. Not that matters for American buyers, since a Mercedes representative told us it won't be offered in the States. For buyers in countries where the G650 will be available, they will have the option of four interior color schemes, three soft-top colors, and four paint hues. Related Video:

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Daimler rebuffs Geely offer to buy stake

Wed, Nov 29 2017

HONG KONG/BEIJING - Daimler AG has turned down an offer from China's Geely to take a stake of up to 5 percent via a discounted share placement, as the German automaker has long been reluctant to see existing shareholdings diluted, sources with knowledge of the talks said. A stake of that size would be worth $4.5 billion at current market prices. Although Daimler declined the offer, it told Geely it was welcome to buy shares in the open market, the sources added. Carmakers in China have embarked on a flurry of dealmaking, as they scramble to boost production of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles ahead of tough new quotas to be imposed by Beijing, which wants to reduce urban smog and lower the country's reliance on oil. People with knowledge of Geely's thinking said the company was keen to access Daimler's electric car battery technology and wanted to establish an electric car joint venture in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. Geely, which also owns Swedish car maker Volvo, is still hopeful it can secure a deal in some form over the coming weeks, they added. The two automakers met in Beijing in recent weeks at Geely's behest. There, the Chinese firm, formally known as Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, offered to take a stake of between 3 percent and 5 percent if Daimler would issue new shares at a discount, the sources said. It was not immediately clear what kind of discount for the shares Geely had in mind or whether Geely was interested in buying the shares on the open market. A spokesman for Geely declined to comment. A spokesman for Daimler said the company was "very happy with our shareholder structure at present", but added that it would welcome new investors with a long-term interest in the company. Shares in Daimler were up 1 percent in early Wednesday trade, in line with the broader market.DAIMLER ALREADY TIED TO BAIC, BYD Geely, which has a market value of some $32 billion, is the leading domestic brand in China with a 5 percent market share, according to an analysis by Nomura Securities. A stake of 5 percent would establish it as Daimler's third-largest shareholder behind the Kuwait Investment Authority and BlackRock, who hold 6.8 percent and 6 percent respectively, according to Reuters data.
