John had recently contacted me here in CA to help find an original American Racing Equipment rear spoiler like the Monaro had when it raced in the seventies. I thought that would not be a problem until I learned the company had been sold and most rear spoilers had been sent to South Africa with the Chev Firenza Can Am cars. I emailed SA without success and after time I had given up but John had not.
He found that George Sheweiry had one from a 1969 Ford Talladega that just needed the paint stripped away to show the original beautiful detailed spoiler. So we all owe thanks to George for hanging on to possibly the only available original ARE rear spoiler out there as John had given up on me. Also thanks to Angus Fogg for reproducing the exact mounting legs for the spoiler and these photos.
Thank you all for getting me "off the hook". A truly magnificent and original restoration John. Well done.
