    Thanks Chris!


    For anyone else that may want one, Chris secured my last one but I contacted another GMP Supplier and was able to get one more case.
    With that being said I have 4 more left. (For Pre-Order)

    These are due sometime in June.


    Thanks for all the interest guys!!

    Also, just so you guys know that are pre-ordering these. I do require a credit card up front to reserve one but your card is NOT charged until the cars are in stock and ready to ship.

    I will charge your card the day they arrive, pack it with care and it will ship out the same day your card is charged.


    Thanks again!

    Unfortunately these models NEVER seem to come in when the Manufacture first announces they will so the slight delay is common.

    I spoke with my Rep on Monday and they're now due here around the Middle of July. Possibly close to the end of July by the time the collector actually receives one.

    GMP themselves is sold out. Anyone that has an interest in this model should have one on Pre-Order with the dealer of there choice. These will be like the 1st 1987 GN's GMP released. (Sold out right away and bringing more than retail because of it)

    These are due here on Thursday July 16th.

    I have a handful left for sale. (GMP themselves are Sold Out!)

    Just to let you guys know, the GN's are coming from two different suppliers.

    1st Batch has already arrived direct from GMP. That batch filled "Most" of the pre-orders that I have and have already been shipped back out.

    2nd Batch is coming from a secondary supplier since GMP has already sold out. These will be here today (July 17th).

    So some of you guys may get your model this week and some may get it next week. It just depends on how early your order was placed and from which batch its coming from.

    Some of the profits are going towards the restoration of my "Stock Appearing" 1970 GS Drag Car so thanks again, I appreciate the business!

    Got mine yesterday (actually it may have come sooner but I was away from home). Looks awesome but I do have some questions.

    Originally, you said only 750 to be produced but the box claims 1050 were made
    Also, box says fabric seat belts but I dodn't see any seat belts.
    Other than that, the only thing I wish they would have done is detail the interior more like the door panels and stuff. I'm just happy they made it though.

    Not a big deal, just wondering why the differences? Overall, very pleased. I think mine is #304:TU:

    I believe the production number was changed due to the quick sell out of them. There were quite a few dealers that didn't get there orders in quick enough so GMP bumped the number a bit.

    Not sure what to tell you about the Seat Belts. Thats a feature you typically see on there higher end models. (Stuff that retails between $109 - $139) GMP would have to answer that one!

    As for more detail GMP's higher end models have superior detail but this particual mold is one of there 1st attempts and while it's pretty nice (Especially for the Price) it's not on par with there higher end cars. Again those cars retail for $109 to $139 though!! I'm hoping we'll see GMP do a high end version of the 70-72 GS's & GSX's. Keep your fingers crossed!

    Thanks again,

    Todd
