GMP最暢銷的10款車模 (轉文)
By admin, August 13, 2013 8:45 am
今天在DZ看到由GMP老闆提供的有趣資料，想不到最受歡迎的竟然是Fast and Furious里出現過的1987年Buick GNX，難看死了，果然美國人的口味跟我們很不一樣。
當然最暢銷未必就等於是最經典和最好看的款式，這個Top 10排行榜就是個很好的例子。
只要看看現在的GMP二手市場就知道那些往往天價成交的通常是限量1500內的車模。根據我的觀察，最搶手的還是那些最經典的68-70美式肌肉如Camaro、GTO、GTX、Road
Runner還有Chevelle。
10. GMP part number 7624 with total production run of 4200 is the #2 STP Vintage Dirt Champ driven by Mario Andretti. This was the fourth release in the GMP Dirt Champ Series, and probably one of the most recognizable with its awesome orange paint job!
9. Another Dirt Champ makes the list. GMP part number 7622 with total production run of 4260 is the #2 Sheraton Thompson Vintage Dirt champ driven by AJ Foyt. This was the second release in the Dirt Champ Series and an instant hit! We did quite a few of AJ’s cars over the years including vintage sprints, midgets, and gt40s. He was one of Tom Long’s all time favorite drivers.
8. The first muscle car on the list. GMP part number 8022 with total production run of 4464 is the 1968 Grumpy’s Toy V Drag Nova. This was the second Nova ever produced by GMP, and met with instant success as it pre-sold out.
7. TIE: with production totals of 4500: GMP part number 8081, 1967 Ford Fairlane 390 GT in Candy Apple Red, and GMP part number G1804101, #6 Ferrari 330P4.
The Fairlane was GMP’s first ever Fairlane to be produced, and was met with great anticipation from the collector. GMP designers put all they had into the development of this model, even implementing working window cranks! This was an excellent model, and would have been perfect if not for some faulty packaging that caused several rear windows to arrive cracked.
The #6 Ferrari 330P4 was a groundbreaking model for GMP. It was the model that would take us to the next level, and it didn’t disappoint. Over 800 parts were used to bring this Masterpiece together, and everyone took notice!
6. TIE: Total production for these iconic racers sits at 5000. GMP parts numbers 14101 and 13021. The 14101 is the Pierson Brothers Salt Flat Coupe. Opening hood, doors (with functional handles of course), and trunk revealed every detail you could imagine.
Tied with The Pierson is one of the most famous road racers in history. The #36 1967 Penske Sunoco Trans Am Camaro driven by Mark Donohue. This would be the first Camaro ever produced by GMP, and the response was incredible.
5. GMP part number 14001 with a total production run of 5004. This is our first vintage rail dragster! The Swamp Rat I driven by “Big Daddy” Don Garlits. This was an awesome kick-off to a great line of vintage dragsters that would come from GMP.
4. GMP part number 8005 with a production of 5196: GMP’s Black 1986 Buick Grand National. Let me start off by saying something about Buick guys…… I have to say it would be very hard for anyone to find such a diehard group of enthusiasts! This was the fifth Buick we released, and we didn’t make enough! We probably could have made 7000.
3. TIE: GMP part numbers 14002 and 14003 with production totals of 5904. Here we are again with “Big Daddy” Don Garlits. His Swamp Rat 1B and Swamp Rat III follow in the footsteps of the Swamp Rat I as the second and third dragsters produced by GMP, and they did not disappoint. They were both sold out before arriving at our doors!
2. GMP part number 14004 with total production of 6000. The Yellow Greer Black and Prudhomme front engine dragster. This was the fourth vintage dragster we released, and we all assumed that after the success of the Swamp Rats that things might drop off a little. Yet the orders kept coming and coming and coming until finally we had to make a decision on where to stop.
1. Drum roll please!!!! The number one GMP seller of all time with a staggering total production run of 8547 is the BLACK 1987 BUICK GNX. This was the third Buick release, and after over 3500 ’87 GNs and 4500 ’86 T-types had already sold, we dumb Georgia boys slowly started to realize there was something to this Buick craze we had been told about. The whole GMP team did a great job bringing this project to fruition!
想不到居然給我贏了!

剛剛接到通知，我最後贏了這台罕有的Moss大爺親筆簽名限量500台的Jaguar D-Type，哈哈。
唯一不爽就是成交價+拍賣佣金+VAT+信用卡2% = 很不白菜，不過沒關係，因為這是我喜歡的，千金難買心頭好嘛。
然后發現這台當年Autoart特別為英國Diecast Legends製作的樣式跟最近Exoto的那台1954 Lemans #12是一模一樣的，當然細節不能相提並論，因為AA的是10年前的水準，但外型倒是一樣的，還有价格便宜了六倍以上。
拍賣奇聞

自己收藏車模已經有一段日子了，說長不長、說短不短，對於世界各地拍賣場上所見的弄虛作假情況已經司空見慣，但是仍然不解那些取巧賣家的心態是什麼。
最近看到一個令我口呆目瞪的極端例子，一位南韓的賣家在國際拍賣網站上掀售他一系列的珍藏，從開始很低價格到後來莫名其妙地冒出了很多”鬼影子”的拍賣競爭對手，比如10美金開始，到最後350美金成交，明眼人一看就知道是自己推高自己的價格，因為同幾個涉嫌推高價格的買家名字同時也出現了在最後那堆高價成交的物品裡。最奇怪的是在拍賣完結後，賣家幾乎同時再次推出同一件物品，但這次是以更高的即買價發售(也就是不用拍了)，就拿那個350美金成交的個案來說，再次推出的即買價已經去到500美金。
試問這個賣家是心裡變態嗎﹖我真的不能解釋，但有一點是肯定的，真正成交的數量肯定不會多。
自己賣東西從來都不會註冊多幾個賬號來做媒，推高物品的價格以達到成交目的，我知道有些專業賣家甚至開幾十個賬號來做這樣的事，說真的，道德領域上我並不歧視他們這樣的做法，因為每個人賣東西的方法都不一樣，自古以來願者上鉤根本就是很公平的事，沒什麼欺不欺騙的問題，要怨只能怨你自己笨，不做市場研究就心急買你要的東西。
但是我倒是覺得這樣的方法挺浪費時間的，因為要眼觀六路，耳聽八方實在是太浪費精力，而且回報往往都強人差意，再說做久了很容易露出馬腳。
我賣東西很簡單，我相信每個人對同一件物品都有一個自己可以接受的合理價錢，所以我會第一時間就直接列出心目中的即賣價，通常會參考最新的eBay市場價+到香港的空郵運費，要不就設個底價，然后拍多少就賣多少。
當然最重要的是我不是靠這個吃飯的，所以真的無所謂。 
Le Mans冠軍簽名車模
真正的車模收藏家 (轉文)

今天看到了一篇來自台灣的朋友(Dino Wang)寫有關於收藏車模真正意義的文章，很值得大家深思，到底你當初為什麼收藏車模呢﹖
俗話說：物以稀為貴
聽說有人只想買絕版、稀有、有賺頭的?
聽說這台現在有人要賣20000?如果您的身邊有這種心態的人
麻煩奉勸他，早早跳出這個領域吧
這種心態不適合用在這個領域
也就是因為有越來越多這種心態的人
每個買到的都不想認
一台車經過了一手又一手
導致後來加入的人想買前期車模卻都看到天價真正的收藏家
收入每一台車模，背後都會有個故事
不論是曾經擁有的滿滿回憶
或是沒有理由的一見鍾情
或是因為愛、因為爽
每台車在每個人的心中，自有它的價值真的喜歡一台車，在生活條件允許的情況下
巴不得能把它一直留在身邊
細細品味它的做工、它的故事
更別說賣了它如果壓根沒想要賣，又何必去在乎它有沒有賺頭、絕版後會不會漲?
市場上怎麼喊價都跟你無關，不是嗎?如果抱著它是不是絕版、稀不稀有、會不會增值的心態來買車
那我想告訴這樣的人：
每一台都會有停產絕版的那天
每一台都有增值潛力
每一台都買來囤貨好了收藏車模是為了豐富自己的生活，是個興趣，而不是種投資
買車前先想想自己是為何而買
莫忘初衷~共勉之~以上，小小淺見，僅供參考
如果不認同，就當我無聊講笑話吧~
終於完工了!
