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.

Firing of M-B boss upheld

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.

Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.

2014 Mercedes S-Class priced lower from $92,900*

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

The massively overhauled 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will start at $92,900, not including a $925 destination fee, when it arrives at US dealers in October. That's a 2.8-percent drop over the 2013 S-Class, although Mercedes is fast to point out that a drop in price doesn't equate with a drop in equipment for the executive sedan.
Besides an extra 20 horsepower from the 4.6-liter, biturbocharged V8, the S550 sports a standard panoramic sunroof, keyless start, a rear-view camera and LED headlights, taillights and interior lights. Adding the German manufacturer's 4Matic all-wheel-drive system bumps the S550's price up to $95,900.
If the S550 doesn't quite cut the mustard, you can wait until November, at which point Mercedes will quite happily sell you the new S63 AMG 4Matic for $139,500. Power is also up on the S63, from a max of 563 ponies with an AMG Performance Package to 577 horsepower as standard on the 2014 model.
