Tell me what tail this is!

Could you let me know what kinda tail this is? It looks like a narrow tail not much bigger than a duck but looks very cool. Does anyone have anymore pictures?

could it be a ducktail, just in the "open" position?

I suspect it is a typical "IROC" or one of those tails that are wider than the '76/'77 style turbo tails - it's just that the black and white photo hides the black rubber lip of the tail...

I thought IROC tails were one piece, all fiberglass.

I have no idea about the tail in the pic. Curt...are you out there?

I think this is the car in action at Watkins Glen in '73. Notice the mirror is in the same place as the overhead shot. Early 3.0 RSR?
