67-up Mirror Option and Standard Equipment Discussion

67gtasanjose:
my understanding is no 68-older Mustang had a RH mirror from factory. Available as a service part, yes...not ever part of any "package" but a Dealership 'may' have put it on pre-delivery. Concours-correct only with original sales records showing installed pre-delivery.

69-up, I do not know for sure (I know, unrelated)

NEFaurora:

All '69-'73 Cars definitely could have come with from the factory with two painted to match Dual Sport Mirrors (LH being Remote Only).  Regular mirrors were also offered as well....but would think a 2nd one of those would have been dealer added.

Where did you come up with that "fact?

IMHO its incorrect and misleading.

We've kind of gotten off thread

Yes, I know that this has now gotten "off thread", but I hate to leave a "hanging chad", so to speak. While my knowledge of 1969-73 Mustangs is limited at best, I can still read. According to the 1969, 71, 72 and 73 (I don't have access to 1970, but would guess that it would "follow suit"), it appears that the Dual, Color-keyed Sport/Racing mirrors were Standard on Mach I's, Grande's and Boss' of those years, and available as Factory Options on all other Models. As I noted, this is based on what is printed in the Sales Brochures (which would explain where Tony got his information), but if in reality there was something that changed this Option, it would be something specific that I would not know about.

Just thought I'd help provide an explanation of where this information could have come from.

196667Bob:
Here is a little bit better information on the Dual Sport/ Racing Mirror Option ; Kevin Marti's "Mustang by the Numbers" book indicates that from 1969-71, about half of all Mustangs produced were ordered with the Dual Mirror Option. In 1972, that jumped to over 80%, and in 1973 dropped to just over 70%. With actual numbers from Kevin's book, I think we can now say that it appears that Tony's statement (as well as the Brochures) was correct.
