It is my understanding the the chin spoilers were tossed in the trunk and later installed by the dealer. For DIV 1 judging, should they be mounted, or is it fine in the trunk?

I had 2 70 b9s that never got spoiler installed either by owners choice or stolen out of car . I think spoiler was shipped in back seat in a bag as i tried putting one in the trunk but it has to be folded since ss tire and battery is in that small trunk. Just make sure u get correct 70 b2 spoiler for a 70 b9 as we had to replace many wrong spoilers over the years and if u install make sure u use the factory 4 small starting holes at very bottom valance on a 70 mustang.

Typically the judging line in the sand is the way the car would typically be delivered to the first customer from the dealer. All of the predelivery work was already done. The spoilers would typically be installed by the dealer prior to delivery to the first customer. Some people show the cars in a predelivery condition with plastic on the seats ,wheels,stickers on the glass etc. That is typically fine as long as the entrant discusses this variation with the judgeing staff prior to judging. The car would need to be judged ether predelivery condition or after predelivery condition. A entrant needs to choose one way or they other and not have aspects of both which wouldn't logically follow in real world conditions. That is unless reasonable proof is given that the specific car in question had a provision to have something like the spoiler for example left off or something like glass stickers left on. The burden of proof is on the entrant to make their case.
Bob,
Thanks, that's the info I needed.

If the antenna is installed then spoiler should be as that was done as part of pre -delivery.

Ed, of course the installation kit is missing. Would you have any recommendations for an acceptable installation kit for a 70? I read that the installation kit was different from early 70 to late 70?
I have never seen a 70 boss spoiler kit probly because unlike 69 the 70 had 4 small holes stamped in it to use as a starter to install spoiler as you use the center round screw hole first the go to the other side and use oval hole then back to other side use oval hole the back to other side use oval hole then you have to drill the rest of holes and go lh rh lh rh and use small c clamps help. U se panhead self starter phillips head screws amk sells them.DONT watch the u-tube 70 spoiler installation video as its totally wrong and mounted too far forward and i think there is a drawing in the 70 assembly manual. I had a boss spoiler never installed the OO still had hanging in his garage rafters as he didnt want it installed since it dont look right unless you have the rear spoiler so they match the look like on boss 302s so if new owner didnt want it installed that was his choice. The assembly line 70 spoiler has a diffferent texture than the nos service spolier.
