Not sure about the mid-late '71 availability Dave...the '71 sales brochure shows both the 1 pc and 3 pc spoilers. Regardless of the date, I believe ordering RPO D80 got you the three pc with the front chin spoiler...not specifying D80 got you just the 1 pc rear spoiler only in '71.
You may very well be correct, Steve.

I had heard once that the tall spoiler was not ready for the early cars, but it was pretty much just here-say. No GM documents, so take it for what its worth. I have heard the same thing for the D80.
I've even seen a few photos of 72's with the short spoiler, but I thought by then they were all tall. Hard to tell a true 72 by a distant photo anyway.
