Its a pretty square car...but it was 1981...but what caught my eye was the box cavity/kamm back that this one has which I've attached.
Wondering how you all feel about it's possible benefits? I think its pretty cool that there are (were) things out there to add to the car that could actually help the fuel economy.

Hucho says that other than a proper boat tail,the cavity is basically the only other mod which has demonstrated performance.
You'd want a few feet of it.Hucho showed a curve of performance with the diminishing return asymptote on a VW microbus.
