Show me your narrow body duck tail!

[catuck]

My car may be getting a repaint very soon, and I'm thinking of adding a duck tail. More for stability than looks, but looks are important too. I'm worried the narrow body will look out of balance with a tail though. If I do the tail, I'll also add a chin spoiler to balance it out.

These aren't the best photos, I was just seeing how a duck looked on mine. It is also a 75, and the original color was Ice Green Metallic. It will be painted back to original someday.

Thanks Chris, glad to hear you're going back to a great color! Where did you get the tail and how is the fit? Looks good.

I got it from ebay. Fit was pretty good but decided I really wanted a stratton duck for some reason. So I ended up trading this duck for a perfect sc lid. I need to see if my original deck lid will make a good enough candidate for a gary stratton duck or find one that is.

And I really can't wait to get her back to her original color. I can see the original paint through every nick or scratch. Some previous owner just sprayed the red right on top.

Thanks Ronnie, I found those in my search. Really looking for more narrow body cars, there are only a few in those posts. Pete - yours looks great.

I need to see more!!! Any more mid year cars out there with ducks?

Thanks! There are a bunch of narrow bodies with tails there.
