1:18 Scale GMP Diecast Mustangs!!!


If you collect Diecast models and love Fox Body Mustangs, then you gotta have some of these! GMP Diecast is one of the few premier Diecast companies on the planet that produces super accurate scale replicas with an obscene amount of detail. Some of the models even have roll up and down windows!
One line of models that they do produce is the Fox Body Mustang ranging from 1985 to 1993. It includes ’93 Cobras, ’93 Cobra R, GTs, LXs, Cop cars, and even Convertible versions. But what’s even cooler than a recreation of a stock 5.0 Mustang? You got it, a Hot Rod Mustang! These modified 1:18 scale Mustangs are modified with bigs ‘n’ little, Vortech superchargers, Nos, roll bars, rear seats deleted, 4” cowl hoods, competition seats, Cobra R wheels, Cobra brake kits, lowered suspensions, you name it! GMP is no stranger to great detail and cool working features – it’s a standard on all of their models. Brake lines, rubber radiator hoses, vacuum lines, working suspension, seats articulate, handbrake moves up and down, flocked carpeting, flocked cloth floor mats, cloth seat belts, photo etch buckles, hardware metal hood prop rod, and get a load of the retractable seatbelts?! The sickness never stops!
Now I will have to admit, I’m a little biased – I work there and had a large part in developing these models but being a ’79-’93 Mustang freak, I put a lot of work into these to make sure that even if I didn’t work here that if I saw these – I’d just have to have ‘em….ALL! As a matter of fact there was a time when I didn’t work here and I was buying these Fox Body models at retail. This was before GMP released the new tooling for the ’87-’93 models you see here. Since the new tooling the accuracy and details have doubled and there’s so many more versions we are capable of producing with the new tooling. Don’t forget, these cars are produced in limited quantities and once their gone they’ll never reproduce the same one again.
