Brent,

I will get you the part # when I pack it up. I bought it in 2005 from a Ford Dealership parts broker. He bought out all E-series part #s from the FMS catalogs, and this was the last one of the spoilers. Further checking directly with Ford Racing and through Ford dealer stock showed that claim to be correct.

I bought it with the intention of reproducing them, but Ford still owns the rights, and it would cost over $500 per spoiler to make.

Thank you.
I am very curious to know the part number as I do not have a listing for it anywhere.
A picture of the box with the part number on it would be greatly appreciated.

Reproducing the spoiler and selling it shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't mention Ford Motorsport or their original part number anywhere. I would think you could advertise it as a reproduction of a discontinued spoiler from a well known supplier and you would be safe. Especially since the original maker is no longer in business.

Have you had a chance to get the part number or pictures yet?

Yes, it's in the garage right now being packed up to ship tomorrow. I'll have them up in an hour or so...

Didn't get any pics before the sun set, but I got the part #.

M-44210-A621

44210 is Ford's base # for wings. A621 must be the specific part #. That 6 *might* be a 0 though.

Please supply any detailed pictures that you can of the box with the part number and the spoiler before you ship it.
I would really like to get this spoiler documented before it goes away.

Thanks

Brent,
The box was destroyed during shipment, but I saved the flap. I have *no* idea where the bleep that flap is now, but if I ever find it I'll take it too. I'll take a good couple of shots before packing, and I have the shots supplied to me from the inventory guy I bought it off of (Which also might include the box).

Mike,

So is there a part number molded into the spoiler itself? Is that where you got the part number from?

The part # is molded in on the bottom, and hand written on the side, and on the box flap that's floating around. It has a few other hand-written markings too.

Here you go. And that 6 is definitely a 6 in the handwriting. The 44210 is the only thing embedded.

Last 3. I'll be packing/shipping it tomorrow (bought a custom box for the darn thing) so if you want any more pics please ask before I do it.

Thanks for the pictures. I take it that you couldn't find the end flap?
I see the part number that was hand written, but you also said it was molded into the spoiler as well. Do you have a picture of that?

May I ask what makes you think that it is an '87-'88 specific spoiler and not the '83-'86 spoiler?

See the endcaps of the spoiler. It has a "dip" where the 87-88 trunk line is. (The above shot) Then it flows down exactly on the bodyline. (The side shot, remember this thing has 1.5" studs on it, so it drop it down 1.5") It wouldn't physically fit an 83-86 as their rear body area is, for lack of a better term, "fatter" there. If you closed the trunk the endcaps would smash the top of the 1/4 panels.

I have the endcaps from the Kaminari 83-86 wing, I'll hold those up to Layla to show you what I'm talking about.
