That color looks almost purple. Very nice thanks.

heRS · 10-19-2010, 09:35 AM

yep, its pretty nice. 75k. 100 made. I like the paint but not loving the tan interior.

Am I the only one that thinks that the Neiman Marcus edition for $75,000 is utterly insane?! I'm sitting here thinking of how I could buy a 2SS convertible and use the other $30 odd thousand for "anything" else. Throwing it out the window and watching people fight for it would make more sense. What is Chevy thinking? We're a bunch of idiots? WTF?!

camdaddy · 10-19-2010, 10:19 AM

Nice car, but certainly NOT worth 75k. Paint, leather inserts, and wheels are all you get. You'd think, for that kind of money, it would at least be supercharged with a handling package.

Unfortunantly, there are people with more money than common sense

Maybe I'm just envious that I'm not one of them in this particular case.

ron10 · 10-19-2010, 10:45 AM

not worth 75m.

Let me assure you that Chevrolet was thinking no such thing.

Neiman-Marcus puts out a catalog each year at Christmas with a lot of "wish list" items - and those items are of 'luxury' in nature. The person shopping in that catalog in earnest is looking for 'specialty' and uniqueness. That's why Neiman-Marcus does not charge Walmart prices - or, for that matter, Sears prices or Macy's prices.

Years ago, there was a saying about Rolls Royce: "If you have to ask, you cannot afford it......" (usually delivered with a sniff.....)

When the XLR was put in their catalog, it sold out in less than 20 minutes.

Is this car your cup of tea?

Evidently not.

However, we were approached about offering 100 'special' Camaros - and we found it intriguing. Let me also assure you that if you knew how much it costs to validate a special paint, your hair just might fall out!

.......in my case, most of it already has......

So - let's see how it goes.

I do know this: 30 years from now, people will be paying STUPID amounts of money for one of these - as it will be very collectible.

Very true. When Ford brought back the Thunderbird for 2001 in the spirit of the original 1955 T-Bird convertible, N-M had a special edition made for them as well. There were only 100 N-M editions, and they were priced around $80k when the stock Thunderbird was only about $40k.

And for the discerning, this edition of the Camaro represents the perfect opportunity to have something truly unique.
I know a couple of people that are going to try for a PIN.

UPDATE.....
Reservations for the 100 Camaro's is full!!

They are now taking a wait list, if any of the 100 fall out..
Congrats Camaro Team!!
