    Did 67's have RH exterior mirrors that were factory installed?

    Not that I have ever seen. As with anything Shelby I can't say it didn't happen!

    I think he means right hand. No, the '67 didn't come fm the factory with a right hand.....if you see one, I'm sure it's dealer or owner installed.

    Thanks. I've seen a lot of "trailered cars" with them. I was pretty sure they didn't like the 68's

    I bought my 67 Gt 350 in 1971. And the right hand outside mirror was there. The 2nd owner said he did not install it. He owned the car from Oct of 1968 to Jan of 1971. Haven't met the first owner. SAAC's paper work and the Marti report don't show the mirror as factory. (car #0036)

    1967 Shelbys did not come from the factory with a right hand side mirror.
    In late 1967, a right hand side mirror was made available thru the Ford
    Dealers. This mirror was styled like the left hand drivers side remote
    mirror ( for both '67 & '68 Shelbys ) and carried a C8ZZ Rotunda part number.
    I have installed one on my '67 Shelby not so much for looks, but as a safety
    item. Thats one great blind spot on the right side of 67/68 Shelbys!

    If ford made a RH mirror for the 68 as an option which did not come with the car when new, is that the same as ten spokes as an option not coming with the car when new. So there would be no points deducted for a trailered car , with the added RH mirror ???---S.

    In regards to the mentioned right side mirror: it was a Rotunda accessory
    item, that was only available from a Ford Dealer. Ford had a whole series
    of dress up items you could buy from your local Ford Dealer. It was not
    available from the factory. The aluminum 10 spoke wheels were a factory
    installed option. Shelby designated Ford Dealers eventually sold 10 spokes
    over the counter as well as all other Shelby/Cobra parts.
