That was sold through Direct><Connection. Not sure when they first offered it, but it is in the 1987 through the 1998 catalogs. Part #P4120358. I believe it may have been available in the 70's from MAS, JC Whitney, and/or others.

I'm wondering why DC would have come up w/ this piece 13 years after the last A-Body was built?
I pretty sure it's in the mid to late 70's DC Catalogs too. I'd have to check my 1976 and 1981 DC catalogs.
IIRC, the DC Kit Car race cars had a similar rear spoiler or the same one.

In my opinion that thing is as ugly as a mud fence. It looks cobbled with all those attachment points.
It MIGHT look better if all the button holes were smoothed over and held in place with screws in from the underside. Still, It SCREAMS mid 1970s..... whether thats good or bad, I'll leave that up to you.

Love it or hate it, you gotta admit it's unusual. All you ever see on A-bodies are the Go-Wing. This is a step away from the crowd. And you're right about the 70's look. I bit the bullet and installed it. I'll be painting it Hot Rod Black to match the front hood and scoop. Pics to follow. BTW, the fit on these is horrible.
