GMP

We're very pleased to announce that TMC will soon be offering the entire range of models from GMP/Peachstate. We were initially attracted to this company because of a new line of Lola T-70 coupes and roadsters due to begin early next year but their fantastic new 1/12 scale Vintage Dirt Champ Car series, also due to begin in early 2000, were the most impressive new die casts seen at the Chicago Hobby show.

Watch the GMP/Peachstate section of our website or our Recent Additions page for the latest price and release information.

The first release in the Vintage Dirt Champ Car series is this fantastic Al Unser 'Johnny Lightning Special' due in early 2000. We are now accepting advance orders at $299.95.

Engine Detail on the new GMP Vintage Dirt Champ Car.

 

The second release in the series: AJ Foyt's Bowes Seal Fast car, due in September 2000.

We'll accept pre-orders for this one as well. Stop drooling!

 

We'll be adding the entire range of GMP models to the website shortly.

As we said, we were initially attracted to GMP for their series of Lola T-70 USRRC/CanAm and Coupes. Here are a few shots of a prototype of the first release in the series; the Dan Gurney Bardahl Special as raced in 1966.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are told the Gurney car will be released in January 2000 with a retail price of $74.95. Orders now being accepted.

 

The other two releases in this series are the Sunoco Special Lola T-70 roadsters and coupes entered by Penske Racing and driven by Mark Donohue.

 

The roadster version is slated for an April '00 release. We don't know for sure whether the driver figures will be optional. We'll pass along information as soon as we have it.

 

 

The 1969 Penske Racing Sunoco Special T-70 Coupe is due in July, also priced at $74.95

 

Also of interest to TMC customers will be GMP's line of Trans Am Mustangs and Camaros. The first three releases are shown here; the #11 Scott Pruett Motorcraft IMSA Mustang (December 99), Ron Fellows's Sunoco Camaro (June 00) and Dorsey Shroeder's Whistler Mustang (March 00). This series is also priced at $74.95 per car. Advance orders accepted, of course.
