What is the deal with this spoiler,  why does it look good at first glance, looking at the pic looks wrong?

Why does it look like it was mounted upside down with the seems on top??

Not a bad looking project but the front grill is painted black.

Well, I could be totally wrong...it's been known to happen.  I don't have a spoiler on mine, but I just don't remember seeing seems like that on the top of a spoiler.  I'm sure the folks around here will correct me if I'm wrong.

BTW, is this your project or one your interested in buying?  Either case, looks like a pretty good start.

Back on the buying trail again. 318 manual converted to 440 auto. Clutch pedal is still there. Very little rust,  supersolid underneath, straight body. Runs like a monster, geared too low though.  Trying to figure out original paint color from fender tag is tough, think it was burgundy. Guy has been unable to sell it for $6000.  I recently missed out on a 340 Cuda so this may be the consolation prize if I go for it.

If you want to post the fender tag numbers we can decode it for you.  What kind of shape is the interior in?  Nice find.

I couldn't find the paint codes on the fender tag decode page? Wher should I look. The interior looks good until you look close at the seat splits. Needs a dash pad cover.

If the spoiler was upside down, wouldn't the ends be pointing up ???  Or are they removable?    Ovmf
