I had a black 240 in triple Weber back in the day. I've been looking at first generation RX7 lately, as a cheaper alternative.

My brother once had a MK II Escort with a 'ducktail' spoiler.

I have lasting memories of the boot coming down on my head, because the hinge springs could not support the additional weight of said spoiler.

It was a solid lump of rubber if I remember correctly!

Loving those 240's - I used to have a Burago model of a silver 240 when I was a kid and loved it then!

Does this count...

I'm putting the finishing touches to a long term rebuild and have always liked the look of ''ducktail'' rear spoilers, such as those found on RS Capri and Porsche 911, but I was hoping to find examples on other 60's, 70' & 80's cars.

If you have any photos they would be much appreciated.
Like this, you mean?
