No the design of the '80-'82 nose essentially incorporates the previous spolier. No where to put it.

And... Im sure the "83" was a typo...yes?

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Yes, it is a 79. The rear hatch was installed by Cars and Concepts of MI shortly after the car was purchased new. They designed a hatch kit that was marketed for the mod. From what I was told, the design was done working with GM engineers as a prototype for the 82 CE model. The hinges do not look anything like the *@ model hinges, however. The PO owned a Corvette shop in MI and had some interesting history on the car.
