With those taillights, it's a '79-82. Although you could adapt it to a newer m/y without too much trouble, I imagine.

Damn close! I'm a Newfie. Although I did live in Dartmouth for a couple of months 22 years ago. lol

@NYLIBUDI could be wrong, but I think every subsequent Monogram fox body Mustang kit was derived from this '79 style tooling. So if you wanted to put a later frontend on it (since it'd be undoubtedly be easier to find a newer one) I guess all you'd have to do is shave off the molded-in front fender extensions.

There is no other part to the spoiler on those kits. The SVO version has a piece that goes on top of the spoiler but not the pace car version. 

Looks like there is chunk broken off of his. If so, not good because those are molded to the body.

You could always grind it off completely.  A car that modified probably would run that spoiler anyway. Something more like the one in the Revell notchback kit would work better.
