Yikes! I think my first was the dale jr Elvis cot

 

i dont have much cars but my first one was a truex 2005 busch champion chrome autographed 1:24

 

2002 Harvick NBS Sylvania 1:24. Still have it to this day.

 

I probably will say was either a Racing Champions or Matchbox 1/64 Larry Pearson/Stanley Tools 1/64.

 

I don't remember my first WC because I bought so damn many of them and they were relatively unimportant at the time, but my first true collectible and the car that got me into the hobby hardcore was the 2001 Revell Dale Jr. raced version MLB Daytona car.

 

1:18 Dale Sr. HOF diecast

Looks like this nowadays:

 

I purchased my first car at a gas station in North Carolina it was a 1998 1/64 Racing Champions Todd Bodine Tabasco 1/64 Bud Shootout scheme. My next purchase was the 1/64 Jeff Gordon Chromalusion car that Action made.

 

First collectible diecast in general was a 2005 Robert Hight Rookie of the year colorchrome, First Nascar collectible was Clint Bowyer's 2008 Standard, 4 years and some change later I now have 17 more nascar diecast, not spectacular but gettin there slowly but surely :wink:

 

My first nascar diecast was a 1/64 2010 Kyle Busch M&M's. Got it from the M&M's store in NY.

Really thought it looked cool and it was also the last car they had.. Since then, I've been hooked to Nascar both the race and diecast. Still have it sealed.

 

The 1st I bought to actually collect was a Jeff Gordon Million Dollar Date Action car. Before that I had had a ton of the Racing Champions cars, but I never really looked at those as collectibles.

 

I've been collecting since 1992, started with the old black box Racing Champions cars. It's been 20+ years & over 1,500 1/24 cars later I can't remember the first car I purchased.

 

sometime back in the 80's, I had the set of Ertl blister packs and pull backs. Still have them today, though they are packed away

 

First 1/24th : Jeff Gordon 57 Chevy
First 1/64th : Jeff Gordon DuPont 200th Celebration

 

It was a 1/64 1992 RC Ricky Rudd #5 Tide Lumina that came as a promotional piece in a box of Tide detergent. I no longer have it, sadly.

My first 1/24 was a 2001 Terry Labonte RC Kelloggs

 

In 2000 I picked up a Jr Bud 1/24 that is still one of my favorites. Love the box with the frosted tip Hairdo from Jr.

 

2003 Dale Earnhardt Jr Budweiser 1:24

Yes i still got mine, its not from that long ago. 2007Jeff Gordon Dupont COT, first car i bought at my first race.

 

There are a few that could have been my very first one, but the one most memorable to me was a Winner's Circle 2000 Jeff Gordon 1:64. I had it opened, I was very young, and I had it until about 2009, when it was very beat up, but still special to me. I lost interest in racing for a few years and much of my collection was lost and opened by my brothersand their friends, thrown away, and given away, and I think my that car was with that bunch that was done away with, though I do remember visiting my there in the summer (my mom's house where I left my diecasts) and I saw what I think was that car in my old bedroom, but I had forgotten to take it back to my current home, and when my interest in racing returned, that Jeff Gordon car wasn't in the room any longer, so I sadly no longer have it. It was special because my uncle who had given it to me died a few years later, but that memory will still live on, because his whole huge collection still sits where it always had in my grandmother's basement. I was only able to recover a fraction of my old collection from my mom's house that had once been built up to a very large collection, but I was thankful to find what I could. Other possibilities of my very first diecast was a Racing Champions Sterling Marlin #40 Sabco Chevy 1:64 or a Racing Champions Dave Blaney #93 Amoco Pontiac 1:64, but I no longer have those either, and they were never as important to me because the Gordon diecast is what made him my favorite driver. It was the last year he ran the rainbow scheme. I do have a Blaney diecast again which is the same kind as the one I once had, but it is not that same one with all the damage and paint chips, lol. I think my dad said that it was bought at an old Amoco gas station. Anyways, that's my story of my first diecast(s).

 

Jeff Gordon's rainbow car i think

 

My first was a 2003 Matt Kenseth 1:24 Bayer pit stop. I still have the car in my collection to this day!

 

my fist diecast that got me into collecting was a dale earnhardt jr 1 24 acdelco superman car,i got it at a local auction for i think $20. little did i know what i was gettin into lol! over 10 years later and over 300 cars later here i am!!

 

I think my first diecast was this. Could be wrong though.

 

My grandfather used to buy me Dale Earnhardt and provided me with my first die casts. My first 1:64 was a 1995 Action Earnhardt Silver Select, and for Christmas in 1996 he gave me my first 1:24's: A Revell Earnhardt standard scheme, and a Revell 1996 Olympic Special.

 

Racing Champions- Scott Kalitta Kalitta Air '96 top fuel.
Action- Don Prudhomme Skoal '95 top fuel.
I was up in the air about getting the Kalitta car because they also had a Blaine Johnson car that I wanted but finally chose Kalitta.
