70 Old Reliable still around?
I own a short spoiler from (one of) the Old Reliable Camaro that I bought many years ago. I have only found a few pics of a 70 car, but without the spoiler. And in the one pic, it looks like they painted the car with spoiler, then it looks like maybe they took the spoiler off ? Seems like they would not want a spoiler for drags..?? Maybe they put it on and off?? Were there one, two cars? Anyone know?
Anyone have any other pics ?? Or know where the car is now? Thanks Last edited by iluv69s; 04-25-2018 at 05:40 PM.

If I remember correctly, the short spoiler did not provide any down force and may have actually contributed to lift. The tall spoiler is a different story.

Jenkins supposedly said the cars were 1-2 mph faster without the spoiler

Did you pick up that spoiler at Carlisle? I saw it there, and didn't pull the trigger.
