So if I am looking to buy, what do I refer it as, a 76 Whale tail or a early Turbo tail?
The tail on the turbo at auction is no the one a '76 Carrera would have had, the Turbo has large secondary opening for the AC condenser
The Carrera would have had one of the following, the first 2 are the same as the turbo but no second opening if the can doesn't have AC
Small second opening, for a trans oil cooler
This one was usually added at the dealership, all p/u and very heavy

This is the one the 76 Turbo Carrera for sale has on the back ...
That is the correct tail for a 76/77 turbo carrera with A/C
None of the'76 had a/c just like the '73 RS, so I only wanted to know what would have been appropriate the '76. Both cars almost identical, except for the body style. Lh vs IB.
