Road Runner Nest

Sorry guys, when I wrote it I didn't intend for it to show up as a link. I put a comma at the end of "com" which wouldn't work if you clicked on it. Let me try again! www.ertltoys.com Then click on "American Muscle" near the top of the page. Click on "Mopar Madness" and that should take you right to...

If you want to see a picture of what it looks like check out the Ertl website at www.ertltoys.com, then find the Mopar Madness link.

The official release date is November 28, 2005. Keep at eye out for it!
The suggested retail price is around $32.00. Luckily it's not a special edition, limited run car that usually retails for twice that.

I would cut it up as an absolute last resort. If the car has the fender tag, dash tag, door jam sticker or broadcast sheet, cutting it up should be ruled-out! A similar story, I remember several years ago a friend of mine tried to sell a nice condition Banana Yellow 72 Road Runner. No one wanted it ...

I have several old 1970/71 road tests from the car magazines with photos of the engine compartment and they clearly show the longer horn bracket. Many concours rest...

Just letting you know Ertl is bringing out a 1:18 scale 71 Road Runner, Citron Yella 440-6 barrel with a black interior. It is due for release Nov/Dec '05

I think the 71 grill is black with argent silver across the bottom and in the inner headlight holes. At least that is the way it is illustrated in the old ads and road tests for this car back in 1970 magazines.

For 72 I think TB3 Street Basin Blue with t...
