Porsche Crest Which tail is this???

Porsche Whale Tail Recently Sold on Ebay

Owner claims that it has "Porsche" cast into it. Came off of a '87. I've heard that there are several different tails that have been used and am wondering if this is the monster one that looks out of proportion on a SC narrow body car.

Thanks...




Nicholas

He claims its from an '87 Turbo, that looks about right to me.

And yes, most feel that monster is too big and out of proportion for the SC fenders. The 84-89 Carrera tail (Carrera, not Turbo) is nicely proportioned for the SC flares.

Hi all,

Looks like a turbo tail to me. I have a tail on my carerra, but the perimeter (rubber) is more flat. Here, the rubber is curved upwards.

regards,

Just posted a couple of shots of the factory tail on my '79 in this thread yesterday.
