I agree on the looks part, but I bet it works great and better then anyone's on this board. The "goofy" air dam was on street driven pickup seen by me late one night parked in front of a grocery store.

That & dropping the nose a little was worth about 1.5 MPG @ 65-70. The 1st-Gen Camaro spoiler works on a variety of body styles; first time I used one was on my high-school Corvair, and it cured the light front-end deal on the freeway. 5788625-70wagon.jpg (147 downloads)

Yours looks more of a flat even surface on the lower edge. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-68-Che...sQ5fAccessories Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s
