Shop Tour - GMP Limited Edition Diecast

Nestled a few miles off Interstate 85 in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains in a town called Winder is an unassuming tan metal building. Within these walls flow some of the most advanced and accurate diecast collectible cars and they ship them all over the world.

Owner Tom Long began with a childhood love of cars and a growing passion for collecting diecast NASCAR cars. He saw a hole in his collection in the area of NASCAR and BUSCH-series transporter rigs. There were only one or two offered.

He located a manufacturer and drove to Charlotte with samples and a small contract. He sat down with the biggest names in racing of the day and secured the rights to create and sell replicas of the actual trucks they used. Tom was in business and they sold very well.
