[QUOTE="99MustangGTman, post: 16809581, member: 55199"] The 1985 GMP CA SSP CHP is very sought after since GMP 4 eyes aren't really all over the place since they didn't make a ton of different versions, and they never made a 1986 Mustang. While they did make a 1985 GT, I would love to see an 86 GT since it was the first year for fuel injection, 8.8 rear, true dual exhaust, and the 3rd tail light since 1986 was the first year when the government mandate for all U.S. sold vehicles must have a 3rd tail light. The 85 CA SSP CHP is one I don't have and want, but they go for quite a bit on eBay and I already have a few cars on pre-order from Acme/GMP. If were willing to sell it, i'd love to buy it, but I don't have much expendable cash at the time since i'm getting my 86 GT tuned since I placed a Holley Terminator X in it. If you are ever interested in a trade for a nice watch, let me know. I also collect watches and have Seikos, Omegas, Rolex's, Mido, vintage Omega Seamaster, vintage Bulova Sea king, Bulova Ambassador, Tudor, Hamilton, and other watches. If you ever want to trade let me know. I'm sure I have something close to the value of that model. The Jouef models don't really go for much, since like you said the quality just isn't there. The only thing they have going for them is the older 90s to early 2000 ones were still made in France until they were acquired by another model company that moved production from France to China. Unfortunately, just about every 1:18 diecast out there is made in China. There is an Italian model company that does make some of their models in Italy, but they used to make every model in Italy, not just select ones. It's one of the few things I hate about collecting models since I absolutely loathe China, not the people, but Winnie the Pooh, a.k.a. Xi Jinpeng and his CCP regime. I did notice on my latest 1:18 model, a 1968 GT500 KR Restomod, that on the bottom it said "Made in Indonesia." It would be great if Acme/GMP started or maybe they already changed where the cars are manufactured to Indonesia instead of China.
