Default GMP Prices?

I'm looking at completing my GMP SSP set and was wondering what the current value of these cars are? I assume some cost more than others. I'm still looking for FHP, Texas DPS and Georgia State Police.
Thanks
Gary

When we bought ours a few years ago, they where about $100.00 each.

OK, is the Georgia State Patrol car really worth $167.00 plus shipping? Just curious.

I wouldn't pay that much. Doesn't mean there aren't people out there that would pay that and then some.

I have all the GMP ssp cars and they are around 125.00 each on ebay. They are all still available.

In my opinion, these cars were a great disappointment in terms of detail. Several members consulted with them, myself included, during the R&D phase of the product. For their highly detailed reputation in the big money die-cast world (GMP), these cars fell short for the market they were projected to. I believe that when we provided our feedback they abandoned the program. Can't believe they are fetching the $$ they are now.

3 years ago I bought 4 of the CHP GMP cars for $35.00 each from a dealer on eBay (they had a hard time selling them back then). I gave 2 away (1 to SSPGary with the UHP car I sold him) and the other to a friend who used to have a Mustang. I still have 2 on display, but they are not the most accurate. The CHP is a 1985 Mustang, but has the 87 SSP 10-hole wheels. To save a buck they used the wheels from their 1985 Mustang GT Hatch model. I can't recall the other inaccuracies, but for a model that retailed at $100+, they should have used the information from their research to get it right.

I agree with you about the let down in detail especially when it came to the price. I can't remember his name but I spoke with someone at GMP who was heading up the effort to release more Fox models with a redesigned (more accurate) front end. They came out very awkward on the 87-93's. Good news I suppose if anyone plans to build their own SSP.
