Default Rear pace car style spoiler

I was thinking to put on my '74 the spoiler in subject. I found one in Italy for 78-79 c3s. I think that the biggest difference between this and the ones for 74-77 c3s, is the gas tank aperture. But there are other differences or also this 78-79 will fit well on my vette? For example the rear deck inclination is the same?
Thank you!

Where are you located? I have a pace car spoiler in good shape that was on a 1977. It is big though so shipping would be tricky.

Most of the spoilers I've seen on Ebay are going for between $200 and $300. I certainly don't need to get near that amount out of it. I'd cut you a big deal if it'll help you afford shipping. I could maybe get a quote to box it up and ship it to a coast if you have a shipping company lined up to get the box across to you. Maybe other people in your area have a company they prefer. I would just need a US address to get a quote. PM me and we'll trade info if you're interested.

Hey Mark. I'd be interested in your spoiler. Send me a PM and let me know what you'd want for it.

nothing makes the smooth, refined yet a bit dull rear of a 74-79 look more like a mean old corvette than adding that pace car rear spoiler...so I cant blame people for wanting them....

You are assuming the spoiler fits the pre-1978 rear deck. That deck was changed with the 1978-82 big rear window and gas cap location.

Looks like Ecklers offers them to fit the 74-77 vettes.

Assuming?....no....I have seen the pace car style rear spoiler on many 74-77 vettes...and like 75 pointed out ecklers offers it for those years...what I didn't make clear was buy one that fits your year as if I recall correctly a gm pace car spoiler doesn't correctly fit 74-77...
However....your 74 paul is one of the few cars I find perfect as it sits.
