Oil cooler in whaletail?

After lots of research here and other places on the net (thanks!) I finally drove an 87 911 targa that I might purchase. It had a factory(?) rear spoiler with the oil cooler in it. I can't find any info about this - is it a factory option? Does it work well? Thanks, Eric

Factory never put an oil cooler in the tail in any year I don't think, definately not the 87's. Sure it's not the AC condenser?

Oh... it probably is the AC condenser. The owner said it was the oil cooler, but I guess he could be wrong.

This car had a heavy clutch so it probably will need the needle bearing update. Any idea how much a new clutch with the update is going to cost me?

Assume you know that the Carerra's external oil cooler is located in the forward portion of the right front wheel well. The 87s have a thermostaticly contolled fan that's mounted on the forward side of the cooler - difficult to see.

Yes, I thought the cooler was in the front wheelwell, but since the owner said the condenser was an oil cooler I thought maybe it was some sort of aftermarket item. He's wrong.
Doesn't look like I'll get that one, he's asking too much and it's a little rough in a lot of places. Still looking and learning...
