Title: 69 spoiler

The ad linked has a handwritten note that says 69-73, but the brackets are clearly 1971 parts.

Is the wing itself interchangeable with 70 or 69?

Does the wing look like an original part, service part, or repro?

Thanks, John

The 69 mounts to the mounting arm with rivets in 69 and screws in 70. Also the wing is made from different material. So based on the pictures it does not appear to be either a 69 original or reproduction. Mounting (to the trunk lid) is different in hardware also.

Both the 69 and 70 will fit the same mounting holes as well as "look ok" from a distance other than an original 69 will normally have the warped shape by now.

What year you looking for?

I'm working on a 73 Mach 1, was doing some surfing, and came across the part.  I figured that the broad range of 69-73 would be too good to be true.  So the intent of the question was to learn something new.  Thanks Jeff.
