Poor poor Porsche . Almost brings a tear to my eye to see that. I mean to each his/her own but it looks ghetto IMHO. And a Porsche should never be ghetto.

Maybe he is into hill climbing

My '73 Mach 1 has no wings, spoilers, or ground fx, and I like it that way.

You have to have a chin spoiler or the front end doesnt look right.

as far as a deck spoiler goes, on a 71-73 it throws off the body lines, but looks great on just about every other sportsroof car.

The gray blob hanging under the chin don't help none.

The hillclimb looks like fun.

Maybe he's(or she is going for the GT-3 + look

The wing in the hilclimb shot looks simular to that one-maybe that's it.

I actually like the Mach 1 the most as well, I wonder if it's got the 351 cleveland?

It's so he can hang his car up to dry after he washes it.

I'm sure it would be annoying to take off the wing and put it back on for each event so he probably just leaves it on.
+1 maybe the wing is experimental for this guy or the car is a work in progress and not done...maybe he lost a bet..... it is ugly but the rest of the car looks good to me.....cut the guy some slack

Doesn't look good, but it's probably functional. It'd be a lot better if it at least followed the Porsche's contours IMO.
