Mine is a fairly flexible GTS version. Definitely more subtle than some. Outside with my lower grille painted black, and my black L bumper it's hard to see unless focused on it.
Thanks, all for the clarifications. I will admit I only noticed the first picture I posted was a model after I posted it, and saw how huge those bricks are in the background!

Once the photos are uploaded two quick and simple extra steps are required. The first is to click on the link under the attached photo which reads "insert into post body" ... which gives you 3 choices for the photo’s size and then inserts (embeds) the picture where ever the cursor is flashing. You seem to have this part down. Congrats!
The second step is to check the box which reads "collapse attachment box" in the left hand column, under "settings". This removes unnecessary clutter from the bottom of the posts. You hadn't taken that second step so I’ve performed a bit of editing to your posts.

FWIW, a few vendors have Revson molds and even NOS spoilers for sale. Call around. They are all fiberglas and do NOT have side pieces that flow into enhanced front fender flares. I have seen two versions sold as Revsons- the earlier is as above on some but not all the above posts. The presumably later version (that Peter Revson himself might not ever have seen!) looks like the early one but with a short splitter molded into the bottom for possibly better aero performance. I have an early one and like it because I find it attractive and it works well for its purpose but does not scrape the ground in turns, even on our modestly lowered '72.
I have a mold to make the "Gran Turismo" spoiler if someone is interested.

OMG guys, did not see this post until now. I just posted a note about the Revson spoiler in the parts forum. I am building a mold soon. I also am building molds for the old Gran Turismo, GTS factory and 2 new versions of my own design.
This is the one, right?

Ron,
Is the mold good? I'll build one and see if it fits OK.
The GTS spoiler will look the same but WILL FIT the car and have hidden fasteners. The GTS spoilers have been basterdized so much they are not even in the ball park of fitting,at least that is what I hear. The one I have is at least in the county of the ball park so it's workable---won't have to build from scratch.

You've got my attention. My Pantera is currently equipped with one of your spoilers. I would possibly be interested in a new version … with 2 changes. (1) Fill in the grill opening , and the notch under the grill opening, so it is flat across the front. (2) Add more resin and glass, especially along the bottom, reinforce it, make it 3X as thick, so it will take hard scrapes, bumps into curbs, etc. without damage.
Besides eliminating nose lift, it would make a nice place to mount the front license plate.

Rocky, I think the front air dam shown in the second photo ad is the Revson Air Dam.

i would like to replace it, i don't like the fog light or air dam cutouts any suggestions or i have to make my own

That's an interesting number of ways to add an air dam. Personally I'm glad the owners are having fun with their cars regardless of how it accomplished. Once the car becomes merely a garage/trailer queen the fun mostly over. Drive them, show them, the days of our beautiful overpowered gasoline burners are quickly diminishing. Has anybody thought of converting to e-power?
I've seen two versions of the curvy Revson front spoiler. My 1980 version looks exactly like the #2 photo while the later ones have a splitter-like horizontal lower extension.
Which one is the Revson spoiler is now very confusing to me.
I've got the "GT" from Hall.
I'm going to have to refer back to the magazine road test, if I can find it, that shows Revson with the test car.
That's going to be the only way to clear this in my mind now.
I'm convinced that the car does need something in the front and also that anything you put down there is very vulnerable to just about anything, so as George pointed out, a completely flexible material is probably a mandatory consideration and something that isn't expensive since it's going to likely get wrecked often.
I remember the Revson design projecting out further then the "GT" which is why I selected that one.
It also mounts above the bottom of the sheetmetal under the radiator support.
My local McDonalds has the bottom of my '16 Fusion nose all scraped up because of the angle of the exit ramp to the city street.
I can tell you that these exit ramps, in order to keep people walking from tripping need to be on the ratio of 1/2" change per foot of run. That's "about" what the cars need as well. That's rare to find for paving but required where the Building Departments are involved with site requirements FOR PEOPLE. Cars, that's a different story.
My Pantera is a lot lower then my Fusion and yet my TT has no issues BUT is much shorter from the center of the front wheel arch to the bottom of the nose. Not so the Pantera.
It will never get out of the McDonalds without $4000 worth of body damage.
The Revson front air dam is pictured in Revsons parts catalog
I have one on an original Revson Pantera
By the way I am looking to buy another one if anyone has one PM me!

I had supper with Larry Stock of PPC-Carson City NV last night, and he said he has three GTs spoilers and one series 1 Revson in stock today, plus the molds from the '70s for both to make more. The spoilers are in fiberglas but his pro fab shop can repro anything in carbon fiber... for far more $$$. Call or browse to <www.panterapartsconnection.com>
