1970 Roadrunner airgrabber bird

[garrett1308]

Just out of curiosity, does any one know where the road runner is that came out of the air grabber on that yellow roadrunner in their ad?

I wish... I know where the car is.

Is it your car now?

My friend owns it. I have helped a lot with the car and with its history.

I think you'll have better luck on "For Advertising Agencies Only" for that bird.

That is so great to actually see the original car though. Cool fender tag!!!

I have that picture saved on my pad, I really like the ads in which they had the oversized roadrunner parts, especially the one from 1971 that had the giant roadrunner legs.

It was for a brief time. But the owner has decided to keep it.

And you'll notice that there is a lot of line light (FJ5) under the Top Banana (FY1). The car was originally top banana but because yellow doesn't show up very well on film, it was then painted Sublime for the factory Road Runner Promo video.
