73-77 Cutlass ducktail rear spoiler

Looking for a 1976 Buick Free Spirit rear spoiler. These were reproduced for a short while by Andre I believe (Bull Run Fame). Any leads appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, no pedestals on these. The spoilers were originally used on the 1976 Buick Free Spirit. They mimicked the spoilers used on the 76-77 Cutlass fastbacks that ran Nascar back in the late 70's, early 80's. Since the Buick Regal and Cutlass share the same decklid in these years they are a direct fit. The Buicks had end caps, they don't fit the Cutlass tail lamp housings. I had 2 at one time (1 was meant for my current car) and let them go with the cars I sold when I was down and out. I'm still down, but not out yet. Here's a pic of what I'm looking for.

'77-442

Yea they are the same width as the decklid. I Think I paid a couple hundred a piece off EBay 10 years or so ago. The guy that was re-popping them (Andre) was selling them for a few hundred IIRC. If you acquire a 77-442 Let me know, thanks.

It mounts with 2 studs on each end and I believe 3 or 4 down the center. The factory used acorn type nuts. I was hoping maybe someone bought one of the re-pops and ended up not using it. I don't think he is going to reproduce them anymore, but you never know. The chances of finding another nice original Buick piece is not looking good. My old lady says keep it the way it is, but i like the look. toddragatz@gmail.com

Sounds like you have a lot of Olds parts, do you set up at Homecoming? Do you know Tom Palasty? Good guy (Olds guru) that hooked me up with many parts over the years. Haven't heard from him in a while.
