Hey Guys,

I came across a swap meet mirror a few years back, and I just got around to mounting it on the car. The guy said it was for a Chevelle, but i couldnt find any numbers to prove it. Later, i took it a part and found that it had the incorrect part number for 71-72 original sport mirrors, but i figured what the hey....i'll mount it anyway.

Here are the pics:

Now get this....the number on the back glass of the mirror is LH 987202"8".


A correct part number for this is 987"8"202. My source for this is the Chevelle Restoration guide by Paul Herd. Notice that if the "8" was a few digits back, then it would be correct.

My question is this...

So do I have an incorrect mirror?
Do I have a correct mirror?
Does the Restoration guide have a typo?
Did GM stamp the number wrong?

Does this mirror look right?

Am I crazy for posting this?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks again...and keep on rockin!

Bought this car at 14... and now owned it for 11 years at age 25.

If you take a picture of the side of the base I can tell you if it is correct.
