It has a couple details that might lead one to think it may be but it's real hard to see clearly in that picture

It looks like parts of it have a shiney look, like metal would. It also looks like the fiberglass may be wrapped around the sides, like fiberglass would be on metal, but not a full fiberglass lid.

easy to tell.....does a magnet stick to any part of it? It looks like the inside of my Rennspeed glass ducktail to me.....easiest way to tell for sure is a magnet on that center support.....

given the seller's response, I'd say no.

also, if you look at the base curve and rear curve profiles, they look "curled"

Yeah, he was pretty vague wasn't he.

No hole w/grommet for factory license plate wire behind driver's side hinge. Even my '74 factory tail has that, without the lights.

I think this one was better left to someone else. All of the various shapes, curves and profiles are "off." I just looked at a standard, metal tail and the curves are gentle and sloping.
