Police 1:18 Customs

Here are some of the cars in my collection. The Ford Crown Victorias are made by Auto Art, Camaros are made by Welly, Expedition and Caprice are UT Models and are all 1:18 scale. All of them have been customized to reflect their respective agency as closley as possible.

I have many more cars I will photograph and post when time permits. I am currently working on 1:18 Ohio Highway Patrol FCV in the current format.

You wouldn't happen to know where I can find a GMP Texas state trooper 5.0 Mustang....would you? My friend was on their mailing list for the Mustang cop car collection, and they skipped the Texas one...and we're from Texas! He's been looking for it for years.

I love the Camaro cop cars! I have a Wellys 35th ann. Camaro but no cop ones...

Wow!!! That is quite the picture!!!
I would like to find one with the black body and gold decals. But a gold body with the shield decal would be cool too. :biggrin:
Thanks.

Nice!, NYS has Z28s not SS's though :)

Thanks for pointing that out. Actually they use neither Z28, nor the SS Camaro package. Police agencies throughout the country use a special "B4C police package" version. More information can be found here;

Unfortunately the Welly 1:18 SS Camaro is the only car available to use as a custom.

I have never been comissioned to make a car and would not know what to charge for one. Email me if you would like to talk further.

Ahh, I see.. Although not to argue, but our Camaros carry Z28 badges here :)

Hi Josh,

Not at all. This is a friendly forum and I am glad you mentioned the cars. Here are a couple shots of NYSP Camaros in the "B4C" configuration;

I haven't seen an agency officially use a Z28 badged Camaro. I don't doubt that you have seen them, but can you take some shots of the Z28 New York State Police Camaros and share them?

Hey Tom,

Have you seen these Mustang's from GMP?

I'll get some pics of mine if it's sunny out.

I sure can get some pics, though. It's not every day I see it. Most of the time I see it maybe 5-6 times a year.

There's a cop in a Camaro cruiser north of Ft. Worth I've seen on occasion writing tickets, it's a fully badged SS with black Z06 wheels. Rumor has it it's a street racing seizure, but instead of auction it's seeing active service. I've seen it twice, and both times had no camera :(

Hey blubaja!

I have seen this car for sale, but have yet to purchase it. I did buy the GMP Red Mustang race prepped coupe along with all six of the SSP Police Package Mustangs. How do you like the GMP "Porkchop" Mustang? What did you end up spending on it?

I stripped down a Michigan State Police Mustang and I am converting it into a 1993 California Highway Patrol. It will feature a whip antennae, shotgun, correct radio equipment, etc. The GMP cars are so expensive that it is hard to justify kit-bashing them.

Hi Kat,

I missed your post regarding the TXDPS Mustang request and I apologize for not responding sooner. Email me if you are interested as I have one I can sell that is mint in mint box. They do come up on Ebay every once in a while, but tend to sell for quite a bit. Feel free to drop me a line.

Hey Tom,

I got it about 6 months ago off some guy on ebay for about..just under $100. It is ok. Seems a little cutbacks here and there. I would say it's only a $40 quality model, at the $100 price:rolleyes: What race prepped one do you mean? The IMSA ones? Or that red LX?

Hi Frank!

I love this last pic! LOL! Makes ya wanna just scream Yeee Hawww Yip Yip!! The one I purchased is called "Ground Pounder" and is a red LX coupe. Not sure if I may end up buying the Porkchop Mustang since I already have a Georgia State Patrol Mustang.

What do you think of the IMSA Mustangs? I have been thinking about buying one. Also looking at the Welly TransAm Mustangs too.

Thanks for the pic!

HEY Honda racing 101 Honda's.. just remind us of all the JapS taking over the USA.. buy a real car :loser:
