One thing I miss on my 1965 Fury III is a rear-view mirror on the passenger side. Anyone know if this was a factory or dealer-installed option? If so, where can I find repro items or an original I can restore?
I have a 65 Monaco and I miss that right side mirror too. I believe they were optional. Course I still stare at the AM radio dial waiting for the back-up camera to kick-in backing out of my garage. Couple of the features I’ve really gotten used to on modern cars.
I have seen the right side mirror repros available out there. Maybe Classic Industries, Mopar Mall or Murray Park.
Note that also that the two post style mirror is often listed as correct for a 65 but below you can see mine’s a single post most often listed as 66 and later. Both styles are available.

Dealer installed option and manual onlyView attachment 338961 ...apparently none left the factory with dual mirrors.
I removed a remote control psgr mirror from a 65 Monaco many moons ago. Could have been dealer installed, but I doubt it strongly as the cast trim on the door panel was shaped to take the remote control. I've never found another, nor have I ever found literature showing availability, just telling what I found. Don't mind the screws - they're the best I could come up with at the time when I moved it all to my Polara 500.Thanks for this definitive answer. Wonder if the dealer took the passenger door apart to install the optional mirror, or whether it was just installed with short sheet metal screws?
