I know that the "snowplow" rear valence is rare, but am wondering about those who have one.
Is it mounted? Mine cannot be mounted until the car comes off from jackstands because the jack will destroy it. Just wondering. Pat |

The "snowplow" rear valence was standard on 70-72 models. It is larger than the subsequent model, with the tailpipe exiting through the metal, rather than underneath in 73-on valences. It was referred to as the "snowplow" because, in cases of 6 inches or more of snow, it "plowed" the snow up & under & aroung the muffler/valence area. Resulted in fairly rapid rusting of both parts.
It is a very rare part, and is different for the six and four. This is what the "snowplow" looks like: Attached image(s)
