New member here from Louisiana… our family has been collecting cars for many years and over time acquired cars that we felt were rare an collectible. We currently own the following GMMG cars:
- 1999 Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Edition Prototype- Phase IIX6 525hp
- 2001 Berger SS- 380hp
- 2002 Berger SS- Phase II 435hp (Johnny Benson car)
- 2002 (Berger) 35th Anniv. Performance Edition convertible- 350hp
- 2002 Dick Harrell Edition- 400hp (1969 Garnet Red)
In addition, we also have a few classic Corvettes… including a ’59 “Fuelie”, ’64 Triple Crown winning coupe, and ’67 427 convertible. Our ’59 Corvette is currently on display at the National Corvette Museum.
This hobby has allowed us to meet a lot of great people. Thanks again to Jim and JD for the creation of this site. I think we need a resource like this for owners to share information.
Welcome to the new GMMG Registry forum! Hopefully this new forum should be easier for everyone to register, login, navigate, and post!

Nice collection of horsepower you have there fellow Southern Man.....I love that '59 Fuelie' Vette....
I've been to the National 'Vette Museum several times and could spend 'Days' there just drooling over the Plastic Cars.
Something tells me there should be such a museum for the F-Body Sheet Metal cars as well........
Enjoy your cars........

Thanks Jim for posting the pictures... I still need to take a chance on posting a few!
The Blue #39 car is in the for sale section. It's my brother's car. I believe it has 60k miles.
Yes, it was a great honor to have the '59 in the museum. We can check on it whenever we want by checking out the webcam. It's the Snowcrest white car with the front blue top.

I think a Camaro museum would be great! The Corvette hobby has such a strong following but I know the F-body group does too. Hopefully one day they'll have something. I think the 5th gen cars helped. It seemed to reignite the interest in Camaros.

AMEN. All of us need to encourage Jim Smith to step foreward and build a F-Body/GMMG museum.......

I volunteer to be the 'Ticket Taker' and will watch over the entire collection. ....... :dance:
Alright Smith, lets 'Get er Done'!.......

Ticket Taker.........Like a Wal-Mart greeter?
This is a great idea. Maybe Scott Settlemire & GM will build it for us after we fall off the Financial Cliff Jan. 1st.
I'm in as long as I can add on to my showroom so I don't have so far to travel to see all the cars.

YEP........I'll be the guy taking tickets and "ringing" the cash register. ........ We will NOT fall off any Fiancial Cliff because the Masses' want to see the "Top Shelf" GMMG cars......
Let us ALL encourge Mr. Settlemire and GM to make this idea happen.........
