actually after doing further research they are about 1 of 80 produced. Green machines are 2% of the total production run. Wooo even rarer.

The green machine is 1/100 produced.
The regular two packs are 4000 made.



After regrettably trading away my first and only Mustang Greenmachine... I vowed that if I ever found one again, I'd hold on to it forever.

Went to wal-mart today and found a '70 Mustang in an opened mystery package. I also got another unopened mystery, but it was a '66 nova. They also had the blue '67 shelby and chrome '07, but I didn't feel like paying $4 a piece.

I found a Red Ferrari F430 and what looks like a '67 GTO in the front and Ferrari in the rear. Both of them were Mystery pack cars.

Finally after two weeks of searching and driving to ten stores today, on my last stop, I found one of the maroon GT concepts at WM!

I was feeling so defeated by searching for so long. I felt such an amazing sense of relief when I spotted it!

Just got an idea to do a custom with the silver GT with the same vintage wheels...

Hey Bill I just heard from my friends at the Matchbox forums that the Mustang is only coming one per case. That is why it has been harder to find then some of the others in batch K.

Funny thing...today I had to stroll in to Target (one i went to yesterday and bout everyday this week) for cough drops and low and behold there's another one on the pegs!

nope, you have to drill out the rivets on the bottom (very carefully) I use a dremel. Then you have to find wheels and axles that are the proper width.
