How does a widebody carrera look without a spoiler?

Any pictures

I don't have any pictures handy, but I've seen them without tails and it looks very cool. It looks even sinister if you have some 315 rubber. Keep you eyes out for a plain decklid or perhaps fiberglass and then you can swap them depending on your mood.....Just like Jack

Awesome

It looks, well... wide.

Jack,

No new news here, but DAMN, you have a sweet looking car!

Hmm, I really like the tailess look. Perhaps there's a future for a homeless deck lid.

I think wide+no tail= really highlights the 911 shape.

When I was younger, I only liked 911s with tails. Now, the tail-less look is more attractive too me. I guess it's because every other vehicle from sub-compacts to pick-ups have spoilers these days. I remember seening a charcoal grey widebody with stock decklid in VW-Porsche magazine and thought it was just beautiful.

I have that mag still! I remember they de-turbo'ed a 930, put on webers, made it a 3.5.

When I was a kid, I thought it was crazy to get rid of "the best part" of a 911T. Now, every time I see s subaru with a biplane, I understand why they did it!

Damn it Jack! That does look sweet! I had a dream of my car just like that the night I wrote this post. Now I am curious if it would look even more sleek with C2 bumpers? (I kind of don't like my tail to be honest) I was thinking an S retractable spoiler would be sweet!

Find a picture of the 89 Speedster. It had the Turbo bodywork. It's of course a cabrio, but it's a tail-less widebody nonetheless.

If nobody can come up with one, i'll scan a picture from a book at home.

Just go to Ebay and search on Speedster in the 911 Ebay Motors section. There are currently 3 up for auction.

I figured the speedster would be a good source, but I wanted to see the complete picture of a coupe.

If you're thinking of the retractable tail from a 993 S, it won't work. You can only use a 964 decklid/tail, and I don't think there was ever a split-grille configuration available for the 964.

[bigrubberjeep]

Are just the "retractable tail" interchangable? I really like the split grill look

[Jack Olsen]

I don't believe they are -- although with enough work, anything's possible.

[bigrubberjeep]

Hey Jack OT - Will you be instructing again at the Sept. 22 OTR at Willow?

[CarreraS2]

I think a widebody coupe without the tail is the best looking of all 911s!

That Red 911 above is a perfect example.

Perfect!

newer widebody, no spoiler:





....well, pop up spoiler not deployed

BRG, you're just dying to mess with that beautiful car aren't you! I know, it's a disease! I haven't had my car much more than a month, and I've already done lots of little things to it (tinted the windows-not so much for looks as to protect the interior, 7's & 8s', stereo, etc.). I actually want to get a tail for mine (and chin spoiler), but I do like the 964 tail idea (a-la Jack O.)
