Ot careful of this 911 Options

The "tea tray" spoiler didn't appear until 1978 and yes, the intercooler had some bearing on it's size. The '75-'77 Turbos used a variation of the '75 Carrera spoiler. The tea tray looks like this. The rubber is the "tray". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I had never heard any of them referred to as a "Tea Tray" but there are all kinds of nick names for things.

The car in the ad has the earlier Turbo tail. I actually like the look of the early tail better than the latter tails used on the inter-cooled cars.

The one in the ad is a very very poor copy of the original

I assumed the one in the ad was an aftermarket copy but it doesn't look too bad in the picture but it is just a picture.
I do recall seeing aftermarket tails that were longer and maybe wider than the OE tail and they don't look right.

Not too many people would be willing to pay for an OE tail as an add on.
At the first Porsche dealership I worked at we had a customer that seemed to never be shocked or stopped by the price of parts and even he passed on a OE tail at $900 for the rubber lip and $800 for the deck lid/tail. That was about 1980 or so.

The early tail is far better looking. Porsche produced another one for the Carrera 3.2. It's an add on just like the '78 tail but not as heavy looking but still not as pretty as the once piece deck lid. The rubber portion of the spoiler is much wider on the sides when viewed from above.





'80 Weissach 911SC came with the early '75 style tail:



An '80 Weissach with a "tea tray" tail. This car has a 3.3 Turbo engine conversion. Note the difference in the bases between the 1st photo with the late Carrera tail. The turbo base utilized more deck lid.

That must have been invented by a bloke from across the pond.

I believe the term your looking for is Whale Tail.

Not to be confused with the thong version of a Whale Tail that you might spot on the local female population. Typically after the sun sets, and near local clubs that serve copious amounts of alcohol! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)
