Porsche's iconic "Ducktail" spoiler, used on the 911 Carrera RS, is a classic feature with specific variations between the 1973 and 1974 model years:
1973 Ducktail
Frame Material: Available in both alloy (aluminum) and steel frames. The aluminum frames were mainly for earlier cars, while steel frames were more widely used.
License Plate Light Cutouts: All 1973 Ducktails include cutouts for license plate lights.
Drain Holes: Located on both the left and right edges to prevent water accumulation.
Hood Latch Bar:
Alloy Frames: Use a straight hood latch bar and curved hood latch bar.
Steel Frames: Feature a curved hood latch bar.
Alloy-frame ducktails are even more rare and highly sought-after and very few have bean sold as most RS cars used the steel
1974 Ducktail
Frame Material: Only steel frames were used in 1974, with no alloy option.
License Plate Light Cutouts: Most 1974 Ducktails do not have the license plate lights in the trailing edge. However, some early 1974 models had cutouts, likely a leftover design from the 1973 model. Small block-off plates were added to cover these cutouts on some early 1974 cars.
Drain Holes: Present on both edges, similar to the 1973 version.
Material Variants
Fiberglass: Both 1973 and 1974 models had fiberglass mat and ruff surface in the earlier versions used a vintage fiberglass mat.
The later New-old-stock (NOS) parts used a finer filament glass mat, giving them a slightly different appearance and finish.
Manufacturer
Brixner of Stuttgart: Brixner, a pioneering plastic manufacturer, produced these Ducktails for Porsche, building on a relationship that began with the production of bumpers and bodywork for Porsche in the 1960s.
These variations in materials, structural details, and design features make each year's Ducktail unique and valuable to enthusiasts and restorers looking to maintain authenticity in classic Porsche 911 models.
