Post #11 is the best picture I could find.

Here are the best pictures I can find of my mirror, driver's side. As I previously said, the same mirror will be mounted in the same location on the passenger side.

The only problem I foresee is limited adjustment of the mirror swivel itself, not interference with the side window or vent window.

I will report results as soon as it is mounted.

I am pretty sure an original mirror should have a date code on the glass. "Bill"!

I just installed dual mirrors on my '65 GTO. I am using identical (looking) mirrors. They are each mounted 3-1/4-inches from the front edge of the door, and in the middle of the scalloped portion of the door. I can adjust it to see the side of the car with the passenger side mirror. Originally, with only a driver's side mirror, it was mounted outside of the vent wing vertical chrome pillar. I am not even thinking about concours stuff, just having 'functional' mirrors This is working for me.

I put both drivers and passenger on my 64 Lemans and I will either need to move them or remove the passenger side.

I placed the passenger side where the drivers side is located and the passenger side is pretty much useless. To far forward to see most of the mirror and adjusting is as Jim describes.

If I do move them, I imagine I will set the passenger side then the drivers side to match.

As I recall, the restoration manual mentioned that if a remote (operated) mirror was installed on the driver's door, an identical looking but NOT remote adjustable mirror was available for the passenger side. Could this be this super expensive mirror being mentioned earlier??

We moved the passenger side mirror all over the place, and nothing worked. It's going back together without a passenger side mirror.

I just finished installing the mirror on my wife's '64 GTO passenger side. This "standard" style mirror does work for this application. You can see the door handle and side of the car.

As a further point of information--many of you know this already--please don't think I'm trying to preach!! Try adjusting both driver's side and passenger side mirrors so you can JUST BARELY see the side of the car or even a little further out than that. You will find that driving in traffic, especially changing lanes, is much safer than the "conventional" adjustment. The inside mirror will give you a good view behind you, whereas the side mirrors show you the lanes next to you. Once you get used to this adjustment, you'll likely not go back to what we learned when we began driving. This also applies to your daily driver.

Are you going to be able to see it with the vent windows installed?

You are correct. My convertible has both the fender mounted remote drivers side and the passengers side matching dummy mirror. It is worthless from a usability standpoint but it looks nice because it matches the drivers side.

On another note I'm also a victim of the passengers side standard mirror. My wagon had none so I added them to both sides at the stock location only to find out you don't have enough adjustment on the passengers side.

Another thought: '64 GTO's often had the rear view mirror mounted on the front fender....I wonder if you would get the range of adjustment you need if you went with fender mounted mirrors? The look is different, for sure. Just a thought...
