turbo rear wing spoiler
I have a craptastic cold and bordom, was looking at some old custom pictures,
These came out in the 70s and then blew up, you likely seen as many on pick up truck beds as vettes, seems every fiberglass parts store had their version but ecklers came up with it,
I have seen them on the eckler wide bodies and their street version on all year c3s but it dawned on me i have never seen one on a convertible that wasnt a wide body,
So anyone have a picture of a turbo style wing on a stock body c3 convertible?
I really dont care if you like it or hate it but if you are bored and just want the world to know how you feel about it, post away, but if you have a picture of it on a convertible that would be the sweet spot,
Cheers,
B

I'm gonna incur the wrath I'm sure...but...I like it. Don't know that I would do it to mine but it looks good. I'd like to see a profile of it. It doesn't look like it fights the original style but you can't really tell from the angle.

I have seen this style wing so many times, some c3s like it on some no, i had one on my 81, bolt on fit is doggydoo on some so i went many extra hours of bodywork to get the bolt on fit sweet,
Heres another 70s custom chrome with it,
But i wanna see it on a convertible with top down,

Hey shark thanks for sharing, i have not seen that before,
What they did was push the wing forward normally iit would be even with even with the rear,
It kind of hurt the flow for me, but overall a rather stunning old school custom that would be a blast to pull into a cruise in,
Please guys post any c3s with aftermaket custom rear spoilers wings etc,
