I am trying to mount the mirror I bought on this site, but I couldn't make sense of the hole locations in pictures provided by other members of their door. Butternut Yellow sent a pic of a mirror on a car in Spain. It isn't even close to what I have. Is mine not correct, or would an export mirror be different ??
Thanks for all help and pics....:thumbsup:
Here's a pic of the one I bought.

Your mirror appears to be a Pontiac mirror. Compare with THIS ONE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/66-67-68-GTO-2-2-LEMANS-FIREBIRD-TEMPEST-REMOTE-MIRROR_W0QQitemZ300252829320QQihZ020QQcategoryZ140 707QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), THIS ONE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/65-GTO-LEMANS-PONTIAC-REMOTE-MIRROR-DRIVERS-SIDE-WORKS_W0QQitemZ260278988356QQihZ016QQcategoryZ8073 6QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), and THIS ONE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966-1967-PONTIAC-TEMPEST-REMOTE-REAR-VIEW-MIRROR-L-K_W0QQitemZ270269522513QQihZ017QQcategoryZ10076QQs sPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) on ebay.

Yeah, that's what I thought, Ed. After seeing the one on Butternut's car, I knew something wasn't right. Sure hope the seller will take it back, cause those other mirrors are selling for quite a bit less than I paid for this one...:sad: He probably took it off a Camaro, but Chevrolet didn't put it on there...:noway:
Thanks for the links and help.....:thumbsup:

According to Paul Herd ("Chevrolet Parts Interchange Manual"), the same mirror (Part No. 3899857) was used on Camaro, Chevelle and Nova. No mention of Pontiac, and I do believe what you have is a Pontiac mirror

The mirror itself looks like much the same, but the mount is altogether different

Thanks for the part #, Antonio...:thumbsup: I'll be checking the Chevelle and Nova boards too.
The seller is taking it back for a complete refund...:hurray: too bad it isn't correct......it's in /really nice condition.

Have you considered using the plain (non remote) mirror? They are pretty sleek too, and they do offer the advantage of allowing installation of a like looking passenger side mirror (*). Just remember that 67 mirrors are all round in shape.

With the remote, you're stuck with only a driver side mirror, because this one cannot be installed "on the other side"

Just a thought

(*) Non standard, but good for safe driving.

I will probably end up with a standard mirror. I just thought it would be nice to have an "upgraded" and correct date coded mirror.;)
