70 Roadrunner GTX Go Wing - 11/26/10 03:35 PM

What do you think do the 70 Roadrunner and GTX cars look better with the go wing or without?
Anythought would help me in deciding wich way to go.
Thanks!

I always say you cant go wrong with a wing on a 70 B-Body.


sorry.....I couldnt resist. I dont really like them! if it were me trying to make a decision of with or without it would be without. I really like them on the 71-72 B-Bodies or the E-Bodies though.

The bigger wing is another option but at a much later date after I have the car running and driving it then I might consider saving up to clone it to a wing car.

I love the wing on a RR & GTX.

I have an all numbers matching 70 GTX I am restoring that did not come with a wing. So, I got a second trunk deck to install one on. That way I can drive it with the wing, but if someone else wants a "pure" car. they can use the original deck lid.

the wings look nice, and i would go with the idea of using a spare trunklid, and save the original, for the purist, that may buy your car one day...

As much as I love Go-Wings there's something about the lines of 70 Road Runners that I think the car looks better without one.

If you decide to add one I agree with the idea of getting a spare trunk lid to install it.

When I had my 70 Road Runner I thought about putting a wing on it. I actually bought a wing but between the time I bought it and getting around to actually putting it on the car I had seen several 70s with wings and came to the conclusion that they just didn't have the right body lines for a wing. 71/72 Runners look great with them though IMO.

Im going towards white paint black vinyl top blackout hood black rear stripe.
Wondering about the black go wing to match it all or not.
Anyone have a pic of a WHITE 70 RR ? Maybe I could photo shop one with and without to see.
Thanks!

I fall into a mixed opinion. I have a 70 Runner, I bought a Go-Wing for it. but have looked at a bunch of them with the wing on them, and I don't think I'm gonna install it.

Re: 70 Roadrunner GTX Go Wing - 11/26/10 10:15 PM

I thought about getting a go-wing when I first bought the Road Runner. My car was built in August 69 and the trunk lid does not have the cut-outs for the go-wing. I have another trunk lid with the cut-outs but having given it some thought I've decided it looks better without one.

I like the wing on most cars, but the 68-70 B bodies, in my opinion, look way better without it. Beauty is in eye of the beholder though. It is what ever you like. That purple 70 is gorgeous, I had one just like it 30 years ago. It's still one of my all time favorite cars that I've owened.

I've got a wing on my GTX, I'd have it no other way. I sold my 70 charger, it was a wing car also. On a charger they look like dog poop. I've built several 70 GTX's and roadrunners. I think it has a lot to do with the color of the car and the stance. I like the "day 2" look myself.

Re: 70 Roadrunner GTX Go Wing - 11/27/10 09:26 AM

Yes, it needs one!
The Go Wing really makes the all 1970+ cars look awesome (with exception of the 1970 Charger) in my opinion.

Personally I think it'd look awesome on your car with the brown paint.

So if you have a car that is the same color and all and its not original somehow it dosent look as good? You are Funny !

I think the wing looks terrific on the 70 RR and GTX. I've got one on my 70 RR. I like it because it breaks up the huge amount of single color sheet metal on the rear of the car. The front half of the car has all kinds of stuff going on but the rear is pretty sparce. Lots of positive comments at car shows.

Re: 70 Roadrunner GTX Go Wing - 12/04/10 09:18 PM

My is they look great with the curves of the 1971 RR and GTX, not so good with the flat trunk more boxy 1970 models.

Yes David, I find factory correct cars/restorations MORE appealing than "dolled-up" cars or "clones".

Re: 70 Roadrunner GTX Go Wing - 12/05/10 06:48 AM

I am not a fan of any wing on the classics EXCEPT:
69 Charger Daytona
70 Plymouth Superbird
70 Challenger T/A (Spoiler, really)
70 Cuda AAR (See above)
I know the Go Wing is a part of our history, I just never warmed up to them.

The "go-wing" does NOT look good on most MOPAR Muscle cars. fixed.

E body with, B body without, body lines are perfect on a 70 without a wing. Mark
