      67 Camaro Side Mirrors

      I'm thinking about installing these on my 67 Camaro, they will be painted body color. Anyone have an thoughts, good or bad? Anyone have a pic of them installed on their car ?

      I wouldn't use them. First reason is that they look like the old JC Whitney mirrors that were a copy of the GM and Ford sport mirrors of the 70's.

      Second reason is that they physically won't work. Because of the vent window on the 67, the mirror is mounted much further back than say a 68 or 69 Camaro. Because of this, the mirror needs to be thin front/rear as far as the mirror body goes, and the kickback of the pedestal. If you use this mirror on the 67, it will have to be so far back to clear the vent window, it will be unusable by the driver.

      I like the 67 bow tie mirrors. I have them on my 68. I agree the mirrors you're considering look cheesey.

      Thank you guys for the replys. I'm trying to find a mirror that I can paint. If possible I'm trying to stay away from chrome. I've seen a few cars on this site with body colored mirrors and they look sharp.

      If you want something that looks like those try the mid 80's I think Le Sabre electric mirrors.

      Hollywood mirrors, available through Speedway, had them on my 67 worked great and are paintable.

      I installed the bullet mirrors on my 67. I personally really like them. Got rid of all the chrome and they fit my car nice.

      How much modification did it take to install the Hollywood mirrors? I really like the look but don't want to buy them and get myself committed to a lot of modification to my '68 Camaro.

      I appreciate it everyone

      I have these .. NO modification, the holes line up exactly with the stock mirrors
      These look perfect on the 1st gens, and at like $65 I'm surprised I don't see a lot more. They also come with 3 sets of different angle shims

      Cheers

      I got straight onto speedway and ordered a set after reading this thread, they're a neat product.

      Pep Boys sells mirrors like this. I had a friend who had them and they were OK. One was damaged so he got another pair, they looked the same, but the bases were much much thinner and the pin that goes into them was slightly larger. When installing the mirrors, the bases cracked through the pin holes on each side. We filed down the pin shank and installed the mirrors on the old bases. I'd inspect the bases very carefully and if they look thin, send them back or they will fail.

      If you were to do the bullet type, stick with the OEM GM stuff. They are much more expensive, but worth it in the end. I originally bought the Vision mirrors, but they are just way out of proportion and visibility is not up to par. Those Hollywood mirrors looked nice, just not my taste personally. If you have fabrication skills, sky's the limit. I put '71 Challenger mirrors on my '68 Camaro. Good luck

      Looking at the Hollywood mirrors it says the base is 3-3/4" long. Does that _really_ match the OEM style chrome mirrors? I'm thinking of refurbishing a set of GM bullet mirrors, just trying to find a DS that has a 100% working remote. I'm pretty sure you can buy new mirrors, toggle handles, and bezels... but I don't think the cable assembly is available. Surprised somebody hasn't started a small business building new cable assemblies with all the GM cars that are restored with these mirrors.

      Are there any other alternatives for new bullet style mirrors. That link above for Morris... seems all they have is chrome stuff.
