Why Authentic 1970 Mustang Chin Spoilers Matter for Boss 302 & Mach 1 Restorations
The 1970 Mustang Chin Spoiler: Why Authentic Reproductions Matter
Founded in 1982, California Pony Cars has become one of the most respected manufacturers in the classic Mustang restoration industry. What began as a small operation dedicated to supplying accurate Mustang components has evolved into a company trusted by restoration shops, collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts around the world.
During the 1980s, many Mustang parts were either unavailable or reproduced with poor quality and incorrect materials. California Pony Cars recognized the need for OEM-correct reproductions and began developing parts using the original Ford engineering specifications whenever possible.
In 1982, California Pony Cars pioneered the accurate reproduction of the 1970 Mustang front spoilers, setting a new standard in the industry for material accuracy, fitment, and durability.
Today, the company continues to manufacture these spoilers in the United States using the same OEM-spec materials and processes that Ford originally used, maintaining a reputation for producing some of the most authentic reproduction parts available.
In fact, the California Pony Cars 1970 Mustang air dams and front chin spoilers are, to our knowledge, the only ones on the market that are made in the USA, setting them apart from imported reproductions.
California Pony Cars is also proud to be an Official Ford Licensed Manufacturer and M.C.A. (Mustang Club of America) Approved, reinforcing the company's long-standing commitment to authenticity and quality.
California Pony Cars BOD-070-214 Boss 302 & Mach 1 Front Spoiler
For Mustang enthusiasts and restoration professionals, the 1970 Boss 302 and Mach 1 represent one of the most iconic performance eras in Ford history. Every detail matters when restoring or maintaining these legendary vehicles especially exterior components that define the car’s aggressive stance.
One of those defining details is the front chin spoiler, also known as the air dam. The 1970 Mustang Boss 302 and Mach 1 Front Spoiler (BOD-070-214) from California Pony Cars is a concours-correct reproduction engineered to match the original Ford part in both appearance and performance.
Built to Match the Original Ford Specifications
The BOD-070-214 Front Spoiler is an exact reproduction of the original Ford engineering numbers D0RR-65001A06-A and D0ZZ-63001A74-A. Designed for proper factory fitment, it installs correctly across all 1970 Mustang body styles, including the legendary Ford Mustang Boss 302 and Ford Mustang Mach 1.
Every element of this reproduction was engineered with authenticity in mind:
- Correct factory pebble grain surface texture
- OEM-spec material thickness
- Precise mounting dimensions
- Factory-correct elongated and round mounting holes
The result is a spoiler that looks, fits, and installs just like the original Ford part.
Manufactured Using the Same Material Ford Used in 1970
Unlike many imported reproductions that use brittle ABS plastic, the California Pony Cars spoiler is manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with built-in UV protection the same material specification used by Ford in 1970.
HDPE offers several key advantages:
- Superior flexibility to absorb impacts
- Higher resistance to cracking and warping
- Improved durability in varying temperatures
- Long-term dimensional stability
Because of this material choice and the manufacturing process, the spoiler will not sag or droop in the center when properly installed, a common issue with lower-quality reproductions.
Precision Manufacturing for Consistent Factory Fit
Each spoiler is produced using a specialized process designed for accuracy and repeatability:
Precision vacuum forming for correct shape and contour
CNC trimming for consistent edges and mounting points
Jig-aligned drilling to ensure proper installation alignment
This attention to detail ensures restorers and installers receive a part that fits correctly the first time eliminating the frustration of poor fitment or modification required by inferior reproductions.
A Legacy of Mustang Restoration Excellence
California Pony Cars has been producing accurate Mustang restoration parts since 1982 and pioneered the reproduction of these front spoilers in 1988. Today, they remain the longest-running U.S. manufacturer producing these spoilers to OEM specifications.
Their commitment to quality has earned industry recognition including:
- Official Ford Licensed Manufacturer
- M.C.A. (Mustang Club of America) Approved

This level of credibility is why serious restorers consistently choose California Pony Cars when authenticity matters.
