I Think You're Talking About The '79 Optional Spoiler (standard On The 25th Anniversary Edition). Should Be Available. What's Also Available, And Many Cf Members Have Done It (i Think It Looks Kicka$$) Is Replace The Rear Bumper With The 80-82 One That Already Has The Spoiler Built In.

Not the Silver anniversary edition, 1978 but the Indy pace car, 1978, at least stock from the factory. Was it an option in 1979, ? Peace,,,Moosie
