72 Rear Spoiler

[Jim Curnane]

I did not receive the information on this question yet did not want it to fall to the wayside. Thanks Jim

Hi Jim,
To answer your specific question, the rear spoiler was not a factory option in '72.  Dealers may have installed them to make the car look "sportier" or at a customers request.  The early '72 deck lids still had the cut-outs in the inner panel for the spoiler.  They removed the cut-outs later in the '72 production run.

Both front and rear spoilers were available in '71.   You could get both by adding option group code A45.  The rear only was available as option code J81.

Hope that helped,
Bob

  Okay, that answers some questions Bob.....Thank You!   I have just one more question though.  Which spoiler was factory on the '71's on the rear?  Was it the Gull wing spoiler or the other?

I agree... the Gull/Go Wing was '71 only.

Thought I mentioned in an earlier in this post 71's had the gull wing spoiler.

If you want one, contact First Place Auto in Ohio.  They sell the spoilers and brackets.
