I like those duck tail spoilers. I thought I saw some place that they were going to make reproductions. Anyone have any info on this?

Agreed, gives the '72 GTO a very unique and aggressive look. A reproduction is cureently available, but Bill Nicholson (aka BN on PY) purchased one and installed it on his '72 455HO LeMans, and told me that it needed a BUNCH of work to fit properly. I bought one when they first came out, but it won't be on my GTO for quite some time. Maybe Bill will stop by and offer more details on the fitment issues.

BN 12-07-2004 05:59 PM

I bought the first one on an auction from The Parts Place when they first came out. I started to put it on myself and then saw it needed a lot of modification. I located a guy near me who had a 70 GTO that was featured in the Herding Goats book years ago. His 70 had a 72 ducktail that he made by making a mold from one of the originals so he knew these things. He had the car for about three weeks grinding here and adding there. It came out good though, I'll try to post a picture. My car is a convertible so maybee the hardtops are different?

Lloyd-TX 12-08-2004 07:03 AM

Bill, you hit the nail right on the head - convertible quarter panels are shaped slightly differently than the hardtop quarters. Hopefully that means MY spoiler will require less "massaging" than yours did!
