Does anyone have an image of the Revson air dam?
Thank you

Tom, I believe this is one.
is it steel of fiberglass, and how is it mounted? Just curious because the former owner of my Pantera added an air dam years ago and some people that see it think it's a Revson

Dear Tom,
I took that picture. That car was indeed from the dealership affiliated with Peter Revson and the owner of that Pantera is quite proud of the Revson parts installed on it.
I cannot say with absolute certainty, but I am pretty sure that it is made of fiberglass.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
Thank you Chuck,
Tom
Here is a shot of mine. Made of fiberglass. Purchased from Hall Pantera in 1980 or so. Bill

I'm surprised it was discontinued, in my opinion look much better than many others, and likely functions better as well.
Thank you,
Tom
Tom, I agree on the looks. I've even considering making a copy of mine for my son's car if he can't find one somewhere.
Anybody got one they would part with?
Gentlemen,
The new forums make it easier to upload photos, with no prior editing required. Multiple photos can now be added to a single post. But the photos are not automatically embedded into your post as they were previously. Once the photos are uploaded two quick and simple extra steps are required to embed them. So I’ve performed a bit of editing to your posts. I clicked on the link under the attached photo which reads "insert into post body" ... which gives your 3 choices for the photo’s size and then inserts the picture where ever the cursor is flashing. Then, in the left hand column, under "settings", I checked the box which reads "collapse attachment box".
I think I understand
That isn't the original Revson Pantera spoiler. His hung down low in the front and had brake ducts.
I don't have a picture handy but I can tell you that it shows on one of the early magazine road tests that they had Revson driving in.
I want to say that it's Road and Track and it's a '71Pantera.
It had the reputation of being too low to use on a street car. It really hangs down in the weeds.
Or maybe this one...
NOTE: I like both of these better than those square sucker boxes....

This one is the GTS spoiler.
Is the search feature gone? This has been discussed here before.
There are two very similar, and great looking, red Panteras pictured above. Both were photographed at about the same frontal angle, but one was photographed at a slightly lower eye level, making it look more dominant and muscular looking. Just an observation.
Thank you for the Revson air dam exploration, but I'm not sure if there is a consensus which one is an actual Revson product, or is there?
Tom,
Don't know if this helps, but its a pic from an old catalog.

FWIW Chuck Engle's picture posted by Tim S is the correct picture of a Revson spoilerr. John Buckman's picture is accurate as well. No brake ducts.
Chuck (Rocky) the flat spoiler is not a Revson spoiler. But it copies De Tomaso's earliest spoiler (mid to late 1970s), the one which preceded the better known GTS spoiler (in your second picture) which was a 1980s thing. In a catalog of "unobtrusive narrow body spoilers" I think one should also include the Amerisport spoiler, such as the one mounted on 6018.
I've been thinking about having this one modified so there's no "cut-out" for the grill in the middle, just a flat spoiler all the way across. Are you reading this Kirk?
The search function is available and works better than ever.

And the first one is actually a 1:18 model made by Kyosho...

OK. Found the search function button.
I remember the Revson spoiler as having bigger "out riggers" on the sides. Some of these pics because of the angle of the camera, don't show them hiding in the shadows.
I'm wondering now if there was an early version that was revised for better clearances?
I think the only thing that really is practical on a Pantera is a completely flexable one. Especially on a lowered car.
When I first got my car, the steel sheet metal under the radiator support was torn off in a couple of spots from scraping on low curbs.
State codes have required the entrance "ramps" (across the sidewalks) to be revised to a more gradual entrance angle but we still have high Mangusta eating cast iron manhole covers sticking up here and there.
I long ago learned to look down the pavement surfaces of roads for protrusions but my wife still drives over things like curbs and Police motorcycles and when she hears the crunch says what was that?
It's the assassins that hide in the catch basin that are really issues now though. How they constructed those escape tunnels unnoticed needs to be reviewed by the Trump Administration. Probably a leftist conspiracy, right Donald? The wall will stop that.
It shows how observant I am regarding photographs. 1/6th scale, that's a nice model.
