Pintaro;

If you are looking for the rear spoiler that bolts to the top of the hatch (air deflector), I have an original off of a 75 Squire wagon. It is a three piece, 2 ends and the center wing section. It is in perfect shape...can be polished up beautifully or painted to match your ride. Let me know if that is what you are looking for? A picture is attached (hopefully)..

What your looking for is called a "VALANCE", not a spoiler. It sounds like you are looking for a front air dam that will block the airflow under the car. Of course I might be wrong once again ;D

That is the question I asked in another thread before i say this one.  A front air dam would be cool or perhaps one that can be modified to fit...

An air dam like the Mustang II might be OK, but it's hard to beat the look of the stock front end. The front valance being made by map351 is a real quality piece and just gives the car a clean, finished look.

should be noted that the front valance shown above is for the 79/80 only, not for the 75.

not sure if it could be "made" to fit....

The distance between the bottom front of Pinto fenders is different between 71/78 and 79/80 Pintos.

If i get 10 orders of each year group at $150.00 per spoiler + Shipping with 50% up front non refundable If you bail on the order I'll build the molds for the the early car,mid year,late car  front spoilers in fiberGlass..

If i don't get 10 confirmed for the year group that mold goes to the back of the line, so first come first serve..

I did find this link
http://www.up22.com/spoilers.htm#SP-102

It says it is for a 71-73 pinto, but might work on other models.  Check the dimensions with them.

FCANON, I bought the same front spoiler (air dam) #102 but I test fit it and it looks like it will be a pain to get to fit with gaps near the end curves, etc. My valance is in great shape so that's not the issue. Did you mount it with screws, bolts, or epoxy? Do you have any pics of the installed valance?
Thanks in advance 71HANTO

I mounted mine with bolts and locking nuts, I've had it over 100 MPH several times and its still there. I'll see if I can get some Pic's

I ordered one yesterday for my 73 wagon. Can't wait to see it. The company called today to confirm my order and told me it would be about two weeks to build it and probably another week fro delivery.
