I added a big front spoiler on my 66 Mustang GT and it did wonders for cooling , in a test i pulled the rear hood pins on my 4 hood pinned glass hood and with the spoiler off the rear of the hood would start lifting at around 40 mph , with the spoiler or front air dam mounted the hood stayed tight to the body at that speed, also in 100 degree highway heat the engine stayed cool , so big improvement and recommended.
Every car I can I put rear spoiler on I hunt junkyards with tape measure. Take electrical tape fold it so it double sided sticky put it on bolts lay it on deck lid tape stays and I drill holes.
While technically functional they weren't really effective. The Superbird and Daytona's wings were but up front it's the air extractors keeping lift at bay not the front air dam assuming they are functional. For a front spoiler or air dam to be effective it has to be close the road, very close in fact. Once you get above an inch or two they are mostly for show. You can't really go that low on the street and still have a functional car. Air extraction vents are much more effective on the street. With rear wings and spoilers it really depends on the airflow over the car. In many cases they are well out of the high pressure zone even to this day. Not always the case and most higher end cars do make effective use of their aero packages. I have some video that I never upload I might to try to locate of the airflow from my car. Nothing too high tech just some streamer on the hood in different places. You can however see the air flow changes at different speeds. What I found most interesting was that under 30mph the air pressure under the hood is very low, drawing air into the hood vents then it abruptly changes around 40mph as the high pressure bubble forms around the car. Over 100mph the hood flexes up from the air pressure under the hood and my front spoiler is only about 4" from the road. The front is fully cladded engine trey. The under hood pressure may not be all that high, the hood is 100% carbon fiber, it flexes it only weighs about 12lbs vs 25lbs of the aluminum stock hood, though it's likely just as heavy with the ducting attached, never weigh it after it was done. I know it would be heavier with the rain gutter installed but I've never used them.
Chevelle's didn't need spoilers to look good or be faster.

67 Camaro - Good Info Video.
I like them all but my favorite would be the 69 trans am then the buick gsx.
"Pssst, Don't drink the milk, it's spoiled."
Awesome, more detailed information plz!
Great vid as always cool Daytona and Mustang!
I odd have Spoiler on some Muscle cars but superbird and Daytona was design then models

The best channel!!
Hands down the Dodge Charger Daytona is my favorite muscle car!!!!!!!
1st gen Pontiac Trans Am looked better with a spoiler than without one.
My dream car 💔

The Daytona is built like a shark
