Porsche Crest The cool '78 SC

So my dad and I picked up a 911 to work on and it had an all rubber whale tail. It was obviously switched but were the All rubber whale tails a european option. Please help. Also, does anyone have and recommendations on any paint shops in NJ? Thank you!!!

There were lots of different tails available, from the factory, dealer, and aftermarket.

Post a picture and one of the experts will chime in.

I believe the all rubber tail may be mentioned in this thread. I've read about it somewhere on the forum.

Welcome to the forum. You have come to the right place

The all rubber tail was the correct one for a '78 SC. Most didn't have tails, but the ones that had the specified option of a tail got the all rubber one.

And yes, we love pic's around here.
