Won’t lie, I love em. But, what years were they options or stock? As I now hunt for a 78-89 I notice a couple SCs with them. I know the early 70s had them, but where they an option or a mod for a SC or G body 84-89?

Search brought up a black hole.

Cheers.

Duck tails were only oe or factory options in '73 and early '74 , TüV banned them sometime in '74(The early '74 IROC cars were delivered w/ ducks which were swapped for whales before the first race) which was when the early whales were introduced, by the time SCs were introduced either an early whale( there were 3 different versions), PU whale or turbo Tea Tray were only factory options

I've grown to like the look. I think they were reintroduced as an option for the 997 and 991 models.

Thx guys. Didn’t know about 3 tails. A guy told me he put a tail on a SC. Nice to know there are several.

Here's the standard whale tail on a '74 Carrera



Here's the long IROC race version w/ small cooling slot, the small slot was also used on some the above short versions


and here's the shorter street version w/ small slot


Here's an early 930 whale w/ large slot for AC


and lastly the P/U version


The above were used on SCs and not to be confused w/ the later 3.2 Carrera version

In 1973 our factory 2.8 RSR race car came stock with a "duck tail". Our 1974 3.0 RSR was delivered with a "whale tail".

AFAIK, a number of G-bodies were sold in Australia new with duck tails.

Man you guys are informative. Love it. So.. who makes those awesome ducktail mod kids for G bodies? On a Targa it looks awesome.

Bill Verburg

I'd heard that. Probably the ones that couldn't be sold elsewhere
