71 TA spoiler nuts
« on: May 28, 2021, 06:41:05 AM »
Somewhat of a silly question but where  can I buy rear trunk NOS spoiler nuts for my 71 TA? The one I recieved from Motor City say they are NOS but they are gold in color. The nuts that are on there now were installed by the prvious owner and do not look correct to me.

I know nothing about the early cars, but on my 77 the spoiler nuts were a gold cad plated looking part. Not sure what the technical term is but they have a built in washer thingy attached. Im not sure I can find a loose one to take a pic of. Sounds like what you bought may at least be correct for the later cars.

The gold cad type color is indeed what they sent me. Just didnt look right for this year car, thanks for the reply.

Motor City sell new parts, they are not NOS. Many of their parts and ads are awfully generic and not accurate. But some parts are still great too.
