Mid 70's Carrera Whaletail - DID THEY MAKE THIS?

[porschecab]

I am pretty well versed about the FG molded to a steel lid for the 1975 US Carreras, 76-77 Euro Carreras and the 1980 Weissach tails. I know there are several fiberglass renditions and I understand there is the all fiberglass IROC tail.

I purchased this car from the original owner, who has told me the tail is an original. However, it is all fiberglass and I am pretty sure Porsche didn't make any all fiberglass turbo style tails.

Can anyone confirm or deny such? Thanks in advance!

Your correct in the fact that it is not original Porsche. Although I can not tell you who made it.

If your speaking of the lip being glass instead of a bolt-on rubber piece....then yes....so far , I have seen no glass lip , normal width & length factory whaletails (notice I say 'so far' , as I try to never say never).

If you mean , no metal insert ...some normal width all-glass base whaletails were made. They will normally have a part number stamped on the inner side , or in the center groove of the center inner support (just as the metal inserts do - same with the all-glass base versions).

These all glass base versions are less common , and seem to be an over the counter version.
