Going back to the third post with the picture of the car... Is that Fred Gibb- in the red shirt standing behind the car as it launches? That picture is also on a site with lots of old 70's race car photographs.
How common was it NOT to have a rear spoiler on the ZL1 cars when new?

Yes That is Fred . I think they took the spoiler off for the weight ?? Kim

Kim Thanks for the confirmation about Fred.
I think car #1 did not have a spoiler. For some cars money could be saved by not ordering the spoilers but the cost was not known until later on the ZL 1 cars... Who chose the options for the Gibb cars, was it the dealer or was it part of the COPO order with colors and transmissions being the only differences?
