And this one?

theiceman

yeah I would, as that looks like an early turbo tail. on an early turbo

The second Pic looks like run of the mill Carrera tail on a Carrera .

Those angles are bad for tails though as you cant see any detail.

So if I am looking to buy, what do I refer it as, a 76 Whale tail or a early Turbo tail?

Bill Verburg

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

bcgreen

Bill, just to be sure, you are saying that this is the one that would have been installed on my vehicle?




Would you say this is a correct one as well?

theiceman

This is the one the 76 Turbo Carrera for sale has on the back ...

large secondary opening .....

theiceman

BC green to say what tail your car would have , we need to know what car you are driving !!

bcgreen

1976 Carrera RS 2.7 MFI

Bill Verburg

yes, either of those is correct
some more of the same tail, one piece f/g lid & base, w/ a separate p/u edge

bcgreen

What can I expect to pay for a tail like that?

theiceman

nice car, first problem might be finding one..

are you fixing the car up to sell ? I wouldn't bother doing al this to sell unless you think it will raise value significantly.

bcgreen

Making it more attractive to buyers. Not thinking if it will raise value, if any, just seek more interest.

cobalt

That is the correct tail for a 76/77 turbo carrera with A/C

bcgreen

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.
