Inside mirror
« on: October 12, 2022, 08:40:53 AM »
I have a Boss with a standard black interior and are the stems on the inside mirrors meant to be black or bare metal? It is a Dearborn car with a 15 Nov 69 build date.

Was just going through a set of pictures to post a nice unrestored Dec 1969 Dearborn Boss 302 to the unrestored picture section but have not gotten them all organized and re-sized yet.

From that car I did recall a picture of the stem and bracket your asking about I believe. Picture below. Sorry its not a well focused picture. Appears to have a slight amount of surface rust where the covering over the metal was weak and didn't hold up well over the years. Referring to the end that attaches directly to the back of the mirror




Of course this and the glove box light question would be the same as all Mustangs that year and plant

Same date and plant you wanted!

Sorry these are the only photos I have on my iPad and the mirrors are stashed away right now. First one (middle mirror) and close up are the back of my original Dearborn 11/15/69 deluxe black interior BOSS 302 also.. plus a couple of spares I have collected over the years.

Took a few more photos today of my original.

Mirror back has the rectangular raised support, a letter D molded into the plastic and the dimmer lever. Also note the H cast into on the windshield bracket, I have another that I picked up at a swap meet that has the letter I cast. Maybe some sort of date code

Finally I have one that has a longer neck on the windshield mount. It does not have any letters cast into the bracket. The intermediate shaft and the mirror itself are identical to my original.

The 11/125/69 must have been a good day for Boss's on the production line as yours's is the third I have found. The other one I know of is Calypso Green and resides in New Zealand and so they are definitely well travelled.
The pics are great as they show what I need to aim for.
