So I have a side view mirror question. I bought a junk yard jewel from a guy in Alabama. With the car I received 1 chrome mirror and 2 black plastic mirrors. The holes in the base of the chrome mirror are two narrow for the holes in the car. The black plastic mirrors seem to have a bottom part that bolts to the door, and they slip over that. Conceivably, the holes could fit those mirrors.
So my question is did the 75 or newer cars come with the black plastic mirrors, and could my doors be from a 75 or newer? |

The mirrors are stainless and the left and the right are interchangeable. Unless you really want a custom look I think it is worth tracking down the originals. The passenger side has the nuts on the inside of the door skin and if the car did not come with that mirror the holes have not been drilled. No - they did not ship with plastic mirrors even in 76. |
