Was the hemi spoiler ever offered on the 66-67 Chargers as a factory option or were they only available through the parts department? Thanks

I believe they came installed from the factory installed but only on a 1966....not a 1967. I found one at a swap meet many years ago (all three parts) and I remember researching it and if I remember correctly this is what I found out.

They came on some '67 Hemi Chargers only, but not all of them. I have never seen any numbers on how many but my guess is a 1/3 of the '67 Hemis had them. If there is one on a '66 it was added as they were also available over the counter.

The originals were aluminum. There was a fiberglass copy made around 25-30 years ago but the way it mounted and the two end pieces were different. A correct repop was made about 5-8 years ago out of aluminum by some one in WA.

I owned a '67 Hemi Charger with a spoiler for 10 years. It was missing the broadcast sheet so I don't know for sure it came with the spoiler. AFAIK, the spoiler doesn't show on fender tags.

Thanks for the replies.

digging thru some old '66 Motor Trend magazines:

In the Sept. '66 issue - covering the July 4th "Firecracker 400" at Daytona.

It's the first NASCAR race with a spoiler on the Charger & Sam McQuagg's Charger won!!

pg. 2 (sorry pg. 3 is MIA)

"..... it was declared legal because it is an accessory available by order to the public."

In the Oct. '66 issue - '67 Charger "Don't fool with success..."

"..... is the inclusion of the spoiler spawned to cure handling problems at Daytona ....."

"This is standard on hemi-equipped Chargers, and optional through dealers on any others."

Although not "written in stone"; it looks like the spoiler was an accessory ("over-the-counter" parts dept.) by the end of the '66 model year (July '66)
& intended to be STANDARD on '67 HEMI Chargers at the begining of the 1967 model year.
