My first one was given to me on the side by a diecast distributer, a Corvette from the first series. My second one I found was the 70 convertible Mustang that I found in Las Vegas at FAO Schwartz. I have gotten four more since then but have traded or given them away.
Not hard to remember the first GM I found, it's still the only one I've found! It was the 1971 Dodge Charger Superbee, stock version, of the one that the regular one is purple.
Got my first almost two years ago at the Casper's Custom Car Show in Louisville. I pickd up the MCG S1 GTO for $12 from a dealer when they had just gotten their first shipment.

This would be the first Green Machine I found - hanging on the pegs in a store that used to stock Die Cast on a regular basis. Paid a whopping $3.50 for it:
This was the first Green Machine I ever saw in person - sitting on a table at the toy show for $5. I passed on it, only to regret it for the next three months... until the same seller returned with it. I gladly paid his $20 asking price!
:thumbsup:My first was a MCG2 Custom Camaro Concept @Kmart, followed in a 2 week period by 2 MCG2 Custom 442s! All at KM no less. Now the employee/collector that works at that store realizes what they are and he takes them home with all the thunts.
My first was a 2007 Shelby GT 500 from the MCG Stock and Custom series 2.
I also have 2007 Corvette pace car and 2 1970 AAR Cudas from the Barrett Jackson 2 series.The Cudas don't have a silver banner,are they supposed too?
It was soon after GL MCG's came out. I was at Carl Casper's Car Show in Louisville in February (I believe two years ago). I checked out some of the diecast vendors at this 1:1 car show and finally found the regular issue GTO's that I had been looking for (I am the original owner of a 68 convertible). I bought the two colors of the regulars for $6 each. Then I found the GM of one of them for $12. Now, I have about 60 GM's.
