They may not be for everybody, but I love my Raydyot style mirror. Most commonly found on vintage AC Cobras.

I happen to be really partial to talbot mirrors. Mine were fairly inexpensive knockoffs. The real ones get pricey fast.

 

Love those mirrors, sucked in my breath though when I saw the price of genuine ones. With shipping, about a $1,000 for a set of mirrors! Looking at some repros now.

 

Mirrors

I got mine from California Pony Cars in 1992. The pass mirror is slightly convex, like newer ones, but not as drastic. It gives me a little more view on that side. In 1997, I noticed slight pitting on the driver's side and called them. They sent a new one, as the chrome should not be pitting in only 5 years. It's been there since 1997 and still looks good. They're stock mirror, not remote or other fancy styles, but they work like I want them to.

 

Yeah vintage ones from the period came on a lot of Fancy European stuff, I've seen them on E-types, 911's, Ferrarri's all sorts of stuff. That and the Moto-Lita wheel are the only 2 things about my car I knew would have to be part of the build. Everything else was up for debate.

My car came with these.

 

I stuck mirrors that look like '69 Sport mirrors on my '67 and they suit me just fine. I say look like because mine has the cable remote for the passenger side too so there's a good chance they are MII mirrors. I bought them at a swap meet and never bothered with their DNA. I'm not the only one here who has done such a transplant and is happy with it. They don't set on the earlier doors quite right and you have to work them a bit if you want them to sit "level".

 

I put these on my 66. Not remote. Very basic. Exactly like the original that was on the driver side. Had to drill holes for the passenger side. They do the job and look great (for a vintage look). From cj pony parts.

While we are on this topic... do we have the hole dimensions or layout for stock mirrors for a 66

Yes.

 

Not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure ,but i rather like my Escort mirrors

 

Really depends on what SIZE you desire and whether you care about how it affects the exterior "look".

 

These are the FACTORY Measurements Instruction Sheet for the Install of the DELUXE "Remote" Mirror Only. Passenger side install is a "mirror image".

No matter what side mirror you install on a '65-'66 , It should ALWAYS be located BEHIND the Vent window, Never in front of it. The only exception is some vintage TALBOT Mirrors which can be installed in front of the Vent Windows.... Otherwise, The Vent window (when opened) will block the mirror's view, or the mirror will block the vent window from opening.

22GT Posted the Install Template above for the smaller "Standard" Round Rotunda "Falcon" mirrors which were standard on Most '65-'66 Mustangs.

Enjoy..

There was also a Fairlane round Mirror which was also a very popular installed mirror by Ford Dealers. It is taller and is identified by a Concave leading edge. The Front outer round of the mirror also has a Circular Lip around an inch into the round of the front of the mirror. I'll see if I can find a pic of it. It was the 2nd most installed "Standard" mirror in '65-'66.

@Huskinhano may have had these on his car ?

 

How bout some love for 67/68, anyone got a template? I bought a replacement used drivers door, came with a mirror, so now I can use it on the passenger side!
