1971 Cuda - 1 mirror

[Sal-Chichon]

Anybody know if it is common for a cuda to only have one side mirror. I thought the passenger side was missing but the door doesn't even have hole to mount a mirror. The doors are original so what is the deal?

[Carlwalski]

Not common as such, but definitely plenty out there.


Your fender tag should read either:


G33 - O/S LH remote race mirror
G34 - O/S LH remote race mirror
G35 - O/S LH remote chrome mirror



Cheers,
Carl


PS: I also resized your avatar, only minor scrooling now, any smaller and you would not see the car clearly enough IMO.
Up to you if you wish to use it. :-)

thanks for the resize and I have no fender tag or original vin tags to go off of I only have been able to locate the last eight on the cowl and the radiatior support.

[Carlwalski]

No worries mate. :-)
That's a shame about the Fender/Build sheet.

But they were built like that so don't worry about looking for your "missing" mirror. lmao!

so its not common, but it was done that way on others. So I can assume that the I chrome rectancle mirror is the factory style?

[Carlwalski]

My guess is it will be the remot type racing mirror. What model is your 'Cuda?

[MEK-Dangerfield]

Heck, even into the mid 70's, some cars didn't have both mirrors. So for these cars, it wasn't that rare.

Yep, my cuda only has a driver side mirror too.   It came factory like that.

Alot of the barracuda's came that way . . . my convert did also!

If it has a rectanglular shape, it is not original. Ford had rectangular mirrors, maybe others too, but not on a Plymouth or Dodge.

thanks I was not sure.

In the Vanishing Point movie, didn't that Challenger have a rectangular mirror?  Was that done just to get a smaller mirror so you could see Kowolski better or was that stock?

[inot2old]

Wasn't 1 mirror  standard and if you wanted the passenger mirror, it ws an option you had to buy?  I assume most people did choose that option.

right side was optional...my 70 cuda convert has a standard chrome mirror on the left...was able to get a pair of nos painted sport mirrors to put on...left side is remote...can't wait...

Mine was drivers side chrome racing only. looks silly if you ask me.
I just have to install my new repro mirror now!(happy smiley)
