Christmas shopping starts on Oct. 19th this year, at least it does for fans of the Chevy Camaro.

The long-anticipated Camaro SS Convertible doesn't go into production until next year, but 100 special edition models are being offered in the annual Neiman Marcus Christmas Book for the not so low, low price of $75,000.

Each car is finished in a unique Deep Bordeaux tri-coat metallic paint and gets exclusive two-tone leather seats with amber-colored seating surfaces and door inserts. 21-inch polished aluminum wheels finish off the package.

Under the hood is the standard 6.2-liter V8, available with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

If you'd like to kick the tires before you put in your order, one of the cars is on display at the Neiman Marcus flagship store in Dallas.

The production version of the Camaro Convertible will make its public debut at the Los Angeles International Auto Show in November.
