# The Go Wing Story: Why Chrysler's Wildest Factory Spoiler Still Turns Heads There's a moment every Mopar guy knows. You're walking a car show, minding your own business, and then a '71 Charger with a pedestal-mounted wing sitting up off the deck lid stops you cold. It doesn't look like it belongs to the same decade as anything else on the lot. That's the Go Wing doing its job, fifty-some years later. Chrysler didn't build the Go Wing to chase lap times on your average street car. It showed up on the option sheet in 1970 as a way to let Road Runner, GTX, Charger, Super Bee, Barracuda, and Challenger buyers walk out of the dealership with something that looked like it rolled straight off a NASCAR grid. The early pedestal-style wing sat up on two feet above the trunk lid, and by 1971 Chrysler also offered a lower, flush-mount version some folks call the Gull Wing. Both versions did the same job: they told everyone behind you that this wasn't a base model. Whether the wing actually helped high-speed stability is still argued at every cruise night in the country, and honestly, that's not really the point. Original Go Wings and Gull Wings were a low-production option even when new, which means most of the ones bolted to survivor cars today have spent five decades getting cracked, sun-baked, or knocked off entirely by a low garage door. If you're chasing a numbers-matching restoration or building a period-correct tribute, finding an original in usable shape is close to a lost cause. That's where a name like [Trim Parts](https://fpautoparts.com/trim-parts) comes in. ## Why Trim Parts Is the Name to Know for Go Wing Reproductions Trim Parts has built its reputation on licensed Mopar reproduction trim, and their Go Wing and Gull Wing spoiler line is about as close as you'll get to an original piece without robbing a parts car. These are officially licensed Mopar pieces, cast and finished to match factory spec, and they cover the full run of B-body and E-body applications that originally offered the option. We carry the Trim Parts lineup here at First Place Auto Parts, and it's deep enough to outfit almost any early-'70s Mopar project, whether you're restoring a numbers-matching car or finishing off a resto-mod build. **[1971-1974 Mopar B-Body Licensed Rear Go Wing Spoiler, Complete Kit](https://fpautoparts.com/-Exterior-Body-1971-1974-Mopar-B-Body-Licensed-Mopar-Rear-Go-Wing-Spoiler-Complete-Kit-MP605)** is the one most Charger, Road Runner, and GTX guys land on. It's a complete kit, so you're not chasing down pedestals and hardware separately after the fact. If your build calls for the earlier E-body look, the **[70-74 Cuda/Barracuda Licensed Organosol Black Go Wing Spoiler Complete Kit](https://fpautoparts.com/-Exterior-Body-70-74-Cuda-Barracuda-Licensed-Mopar-Organosol-Black-Go-Wing-Spoiler-Complete-Kit-MP603B)** gives you the correct wrinkle-textured black finish that Chrysler ran on certain applications straight from the factory, rather than a gloss black that would look out of place next to original trim. For the '71 Charger crowd who want the whole aero package handled in one shot, Trim Parts also builds a **[1971 Charger Licensed Mopar Front and Rear Go Wing Spoiler Package](https://fpautoparts.com/-Exterior-Body-1971-Charger-Licensed-Mopar-Front-Spoilers-MPGC711)**, which pairs the front chin spoiler with the rear wing so the whole car reads correct front to back instead of just having one piece done. Dodge and Plymouth B-body owners running the later, lower-profile design will want the **[71-74 Dodge/Plymouth B-Body Licensed Rear Gull Wing Spoiler, Complete Kit](https://fpautoparts.com/-Exterior-Body-71-74-Dodge-Plymouth-B-Body-Licensed-Mopar-Rear-Gull-Wing-Spoiler-Complete-Kit-MP106)**, and there's a matching black version for cars that came from the factory in the Organosol finish. ## Don't Forget the Small Stuff A wing is only as good as what's holding it to the deck lid. If your current setup has stripped mounting studs, cracked pedestals, or missing gaskets, Trim Parts sells the individual hardware too, including the **[Mopar B/E-Body Front Spoiler Mounting Kit](https://fpautoparts.com/-Exterior-Body-1970-1974-Mopar-B-E-Body-Front-Spoiler-Mounting-Kit-MP212)** and a **[Hardware Kit for All Spoilers](https://fpautoparts.com/-Exterior-Body-Hardware-Kits-For-All-Spoilers-MP1012)** that covers the screws, nuts, and small parts most restorers lose track of over the years. It's worth grabbing new hardware even if your wing itself is solid. Fifty-year-old mounting studs have usually seen better days, and it's a lot cheaper to replace them now than to explain a cracked deck lid later. There are also reproduction cutout templates available for guys doing a wing install on a car that never had one from the factory, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of drilling into a trunk lid you can't undo. ## Shop the Full Spoiler Lineup If none of the kits above match your exact application, or you're building out a car with a less common option code, [browse the full catalog of Trim Parts spoilers](https://fpautoparts.com/exterior-body/?category/Exterior-Body%3EEmblems-Trim/Part-Type/Spoiler/brand_name/Trim-Parts) to see every wing, mounting kit, and hardware piece we stock for early-'70s Mopar muscle cars.
