Gorgeous wheels.
That's mine -- before I started to tear it apart. Can't see the front "Pace Car" chinguard.

Indeed!
Trailer hitch is a nice touch.

How else would I get my Hobie from race to race?
-- Ahhh those were the days --
Now I'm the one hitched - the Hobies are gone - the vette in pieces.
Keeping the spoiler though!

Odd., I owned a Hobie 18? 19? down here for a little while, but found I'm too much with arthritis to sail like I used to years ago, used to have a Flying Scot up in Maryland, they very popular here at the local sailing club about 4 miles away....

Yes, but also remember that this, and the Charger Daytona spoiler, were actually functional, not just decorative.[/QUOTE]
Hmmm, I've read that the entire effort with the high spoiler was nothing but a decoy to lure the Tech guys away from some subtle rear deck mods. The actual spoiler contributed nothing but eye candy while the rear deck lid was doing the work.
I don't know but I like the story....
[/QUOTE]My take on the wing was ....... it was the vertical fins that gave the advantage and not so much the horizontal part. It acted like the tail fin on an airplane which would allow the car to hammer the corners at a greater speed without the rearend trying to pass the front..... or so I was told.

Did you all know a boat maker used that exact spoiler on it's boat. They have an original mold and all.
