Wanted - Drivers Side Remote Mirror
« on: July 08, 2009, 05:10:36 PM »
Needed before July 27th...  One Drivers Side Remote Mirror in excellent condition.

My mirror has some pitting and I'd like to freshen it up with a nice replacment mirror if someone has one for a decent price.

I figure that by August if I don't have another mirror I'll send mine out for rechroming this winter when the car goes into storage.

Thanks,

Chris

My two spares are in pretty good shape. You have to get very close to see the black "specks"... Want me to post pics or just send 'em your way?

Took me an hour there and back. Good guy though.

He's got a 65 Lark and refuses to get on the damn computer. I'll work on him.

Here it is Chris. Real nice. Only a few small specs on the mirror. Oddly though, the remote thingy for the door panel has some pite. He told me 110 plus shipping. He got it on ebay a few weeks ago to use on the passenger side but he couldn't or just didn't want to try to mount it. He paid 85 BIN price and got rooked on the shipping. I can ship it to you for 11 bucks. Flat rate Postal box.

Thanks Joe.. it looks like a pretty good piece.

Dan Habel is sending me one in the mail that should work however if it's about the same condition as what I have, I'll consider your buddies mirror next.

The pictures looked pretty good.. you and Tom continue to amaze me with your wicked computer skills.  I think you both are "closet Geeks".   :D

Just let me know when you guys are ready to start writing code for the website and I'll gladly accept the help.   ;D

Thanks for posting this for me and I'll get back to you after I've received Dan's mirror and have had a chance to check it out.

Joe,

Dan's mirror arrived today and it's a really nice part so I'm going to pass on your buddies mirror.

Thanks for all the driving and getting the pictures for me. 

I'll buy you a beer (or two.. or three) in Columbus in a couple of weekends if you're still going.

Chris

This may fit in the THANKS Category

Just a clarification for people looking for a Drivers Side Remote Mirror.

A lot of on-line offers list compatibility for this item that covers several GM brands and a lot of years.

It's true these mirrors will fit a large range of applications but they are not all the same if you are interested in originality.

I was rather surprised to open up my newly won purchase to discover this fact.

I had to run out to my Just In Case I Every Need One Stash just to make sure I wasn't remembering wrong.

I usually run a search on our 65GS site to help verify before I send my money but wouldn't you know it would happen when I didn't.

Thanks to Chris and Joe65SkylarkGS string (PICTURES) I could have saved myself a lot of trouble.

The 65GS site is the history file that keeps on giving.

I was fortunate enough to get my money back but not all vender's are so gracious.

Thanks again for your help.

I intended to post some compare pictures but I guess I need to practice first.
