It isn't anything like that, just the hook/shuttle has too much play. Trying to figure out how to add video. Picture shows metal piece that rattles too much. Thanks everyone for your time and suggestions!!

Corvair- that brings back memories! My high school boyfriend had one, and there was quite a flap when the report "Unsafe at Any Speed" (by Ralph Nader I think) came out. it was a nice blue corsair, and I liked the style. I don't recall it having the flange on the trunk.

That is called a Stinger Tail. Don Yenko started his hot rod career modifying 100 1965/6 Corvair Corsa's to SCCA racing and they were called "Stingers". That tail is one of the mods that he did.
