Looks like the guys running at Bonneville could certainly use that info :

That appears to be a '77. The rear of the car has the flying buttress design, so it's a mess anyway.
Bonneville remains mostly an amateur undertaking and even today,there's a lot of misunderstanding about airflow.So just because it's running out there,shouldn't imply that it's idealized for flow,or optimized for flow.
