Be careful buying a reproduction. Unless they've changed recently, the repro ones available are metal, not plastic like the originals. They're very poorly painted (looks like a kid did it) and the threaded stud on the back isn't long enough to actually attach it to the grill. Keep an eye on ebay for an NOS or good used one.

I bought mine off of Ebay. I think it was about $25 bucks or so. It is metal, but its nice. I have no complaints with it. It even has the Chrysler part # and Pentastar stamped on the back.

The name of this thread, Roadrunner head, gave me flashbacks to the Starlight Drive In Movies and the pyt in the halter top, long hair, and. . ..

roadrunner head. ....

Here is a close up of the one I bought off Ebay for about $28 bucks. It is metal, and the screw wasn't long enough to fit the grill. But I backed that screw out and put in a longer one. It turned out great to me.

I good thing to achieve would be to get an original and make molds to reproduce them,paint them correctly than sell them.
