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.

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
