NOS FMS ducktail spoiler

This is it. The real deal, an NOS Ford Motorsports (FMS) rear ducktail spoiler for 87-88 T-Birds. I bought this spoiler as the last known one in Ford's inventory, new in the box. It has NEVER been mounted to a car. I had it sealer primed to protect it. NO damage. Simply prep, paint, and install. 100% perfect. The nicest FMS spoiler left not on a car. VERY rare.

$500 plus shipping.

In 1 week it goes to evilbay for the highest bidder.

Last one sold on eBay in 2005 for $571 plus $98 shipping (that I saw anyways) and it wasn't NOS.

Not trying to stir up shiznit here, just trying to make sure nobody buys a spoiler that won't fit on the butt of their car:

In your ABM-1 thread you say this about the spoiler:
Quote from: ABM
100% designed to fit ONLY the 87-88 Thunderbird decklid and bodylines.
...and this:
Quote from: ABM
The 83-86 decklid has a lot more "slope" to it. It might work, but it wasn't designed for it.

Yet in this thread you advertise the ducktail spoiler
Quote from: ABM
for 83-88 T-Birds

Now, I'm no spoiler expert, but don't the FMS spoilers hug the car's butts very closely, and aren't they two completely different butts? So in the name of clarity, and in the hopes of preventing somebody from dropping $500 on a spoiler that won't fit their car, which FMS ducktail spoiler are you selling - the 83-86 version or the 87-88 version?

*EDIT* $571 plus a hundred bucks shipping, just for the spoiler??? Now I REALLY wish I had salvaged that complete FMS body kit (spoiler, side skirts, grille, bumper cover) from that '86 'Bird I got my center console "tray" from in that junk yard a few years ago...

My bad, it should read 87-88, I was typing too fast. It's THIS spoiler:



Only new and never installed. 87-88 only.

I found one of those spoilers on an '86 at the boneyard. It fit the car very well.

There was a different version for the '86 - it looked like the one Mike's selling, but was made for the '83-'86. It was one of those that I left to rot in a boneyard, too.  me.  me to hell.

Carm, I remember when you posted pictures of that car.

I had no idea they made a different one; I stand corrected.
I was able to score the side skirts and spoiler (all mint) from the '86. Those parts now belong to another forum member.
The car I took them from hit the crusher just a few months later.

The 83-86 version is easy sauce to find compared to the 87-88. The 83-86's usually go for $300-$500, the 87-88's go for $400-$750.

Mike,

I would like to know for my own records what the part number is on this “NOS Ford Motorsports” rear spoiler that you offered for sale.

According to my records, Ford Motorsport never offered a rear spoiler for the 1987-88 birds, or body kit for that matter, FMS only listed them for the 1983-’86 cars.

I bought this spoiler as the last known one in Ford's inventory, new in the box.


When was it that you purchased this spoiler? Was it directly from FMS?

Thank you in advance for your response.
