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.

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.

Worldwide, Nissan Leaf has outsold next two competitors combined

Tue, Apr 28 2015

Nissan may not be meeting some of the more optimistic prognostications with sales of its Leaf electric vehicle, but it's certainly kicking the competition's butt. EV Sales is tracking global sales of plug-in vehicle models and estimates that Nissan has sold almost 172,000 units of the Leaf worldwide. That's more than the two next-best-selling plug-ins combined. Globally, EV Sales estimates, the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in has moved about 88,000 units, while Toyota has sold about 71,000 of its Prius Plug-in Hybrid vehicles worldwide. Fourth-place Tesla Model S is close behind at about 66,000 units. Among automakers, Nissan is also by far the lead dog, but Mitsubishi has leapfrogged Chevrolet among plug-in vehicle makers, as the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid continues to sell well. Impressively, the relatively new BMW i3 has moved almost 23,000 units since its debut in Germany last year. As for Nissan, company chief Carlos Ghosn said at the New York Auto Show earlier this month that the company could sell as many as 50,000 units a year of the Leaf in the US, provided that charging infrastructure throughout the country improves. Earlier this year, cumulative US Leaf sales moved past 75,000 units since its late-2010 launch.
