Been putting this off for a while (40 or 50 years depending on the car) as I don't want to drill holes in a perfectly good door but finally want to put passenger side rear view mirrors in both cars to make backing up easier.
I've heard you can rotate a driver's side mirror but not sure that really works. What have people done and what's best source for a OEM mirror?? I'm not a fan of aftermarket mirrors. TIA |

I too have been hesitant about putting the passenger mirror on. I have purchased a couple of them from th classifieds and I’m still undecided. My concern is, am I taking away from its “originality”. Does this affect value on a car that’s bone stock original (73 2.0, 1 owner)? Thoughts?

Does this affect value on a car that’s bone stock original (73 2.0, 1 owner)? Thoughts? My 73 is nearly all stock, but I maintain it as a driver, not a concours queen. The passenger side mirror allows viewing of a blind spot on that side, I consider it a necessity rather than a detriment to originality. |
