Neiman Marcus Camaro Convertible Sells Out in 3 Minutes - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Reported on HOMEPAGE.

DETROIT – In just three minutes earlier today, customers claimed all 100 of the special edition 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertibles prepared exclusively for the annual Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. These new owners claimed their Neiman Marcus Edition cars via a special telephone reservation process, a few hours after the car appeared on NBC’s Today Show.

Only 100 special edition convertibles will be built, each offering luxury appointments inspired by Neiman Marcus combined with the legendary performance of the Camaro SS. The new owners will take delivery of their special edition cars in the spring of 2011, shortly after the new 2011 Chevrolet Camaro arrives in dealerships.

The Neiman Marcus Edition is defined by its exclusive Deep Bordeaux exterior color, accented by subtle, “ghosted” rally stripes. The exterior color is complimented by a matching fabric top and windshield frame finished in matte silver, both also exclusive to the Neiman Marcus edition.

The Neiman Marcus Camaro Convertible has a retail price of $75,000. For more information on the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, please visit: www.neimanmarcus.com/christmasbook.

All Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro Convertibles will be SS models with a 6.2-liter, V-8 engine. The 100 future owners who made reservations today chose between the 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

Funny thing is SCOTT SETTLEMIRE said it will take 15 min, man he was off. LOL

BeckyD@RodgersChevrolet · 10-19-2010, 04:55 PM

NOt 75k worth to me...but to each their own. They will enjoy the 5th gen experience!

Let's hope that the production numbers are 29, 900 to 30,000; Make the sneaky early ordering bastards wait till the end of production instead of the rest of us

Probably NOT going to happen and will actually be the reverse; maybe at least all (if any) "kinks" will be out of the system by then (Sorry Super 60. NOt implying anything). Oh well....a fool and his money...

Perhaps but in 40 years no one will want your, well you know.

This car has paint, an interior, and a top that are exclusive to it. It costs money to make sure they last through a 3 year 36,000 warranty and with only 100 of them thats a lot of cost to spread around on very few cars.

AUS10BMX · 10-19-2010, 06:23 PM

and for another 15K you can have a edible ginger bread "house"

the pricing alllllll makes sense now...

thespymaster · 10-19-2010, 06:42 PM

I predicated to myself a 10 minute sell out when I seen the unveiling....

People buying Neiman, really don't concern themseslf with price points........

in 40 years its gonna need a new top, interior and paint. Then it will almost just be another Camaro Convertable.

Indpowr · 10-19-2010, 07:13 PM

The paint is very nice..

Leather, willing to beat it is just GM Leather...just a different color..

Hoss · 10-19-2010, 07:14 PM

7.5 millon dollars in sales in 3 minutes must be a record for Neiman Marcus and Chevy. Is Chevy going to be able to deliver these by Christmas? Congrats for one heck of a marketing job.

Price means nothing - I can still tweet it! It just can't sell for MORE than 75K

CamaroSoldier · 10-19-2010, 07:37 PM

Is it me or do the RS package rims look better than the Neiman Marcus?!?!?!

stratman2SSRS · 10-19-2010, 07:50 PM

Custom paint, top, and interior, limited to 100 for the whole world coming straight from GM.
I'd take one. The color looks great!
It's nice to see a dealer thinking out of the box.
Kind of like the Yenko, and COPO cars in the 60's. And collectors love them.
