Are these RARE

Post by moparmike » Wed Dec 15, 2010 12:04 am

There are 2 of these for sale in my city and I am going to buy them, He says they came off a 68 or 69 roadrunner when he worked at a dealership many years ago, he also has a little roadrunner figure that he says the salesguys used to give away when you bought a roadrunner I thought it might be a neat conversation piece to pick up as well. I guess when you put the discs on the wheels the bird stays stationary when your driving...anyway I think they are neat.

Sometimes I get to feeling that if Xmas, Fathers Day and my Birthday did not exist, then aftershave too would not exist.

They were an advertising deal in 1969 that the Plymouth dealerships could put on a Road Runner on the showroom floor. They come up for sale every so often. A friend of mine bought a pair of them years ago at one of the Mopar Nats for me. As I collected Road Runner stuff. I still have them mounted up on the wall in my den. I'm still looking for the elusive Coyote rug, and stand up tall plastic Road Runner!

Somebody repopped these after a big article in MCG a bunch of years back. I think there's a Dodge White Hat version also.

NOS ones are worth GOOD $$$.

Yeah, I know, most $$ is good $$, but.........
