    Based on the picture, I think it means that the Left Hand mirror is functionally the same as the Right Hand mirror. Perhaps. ne_nau.gif

    I think the auction is for one mirror which is symetrical and can be used as a RH or LH mirror. Pony cars were designed to be cheap, and what could be cheaper than a reversible mirror? I do think the auction however is for one mirror. You can check by going to a classic car parts website and searching for an OEM mirror if there isn't a RH/LH listed than the OEM part was reversible.

    I take the price to be for a single mirror, and that they have both right and left side mirrors. ne_nau.gif

    i may be lacking in my photo skills... but...the mustang is definately something I know about :)

    From what I recall, one mirror fits both sides.

    I've got a 70 and it's the same thing.

    Not 100% sure about the Ad though... but that's the story on the stang :)

    I was actually hoping the mirror(s) were going to be for that creature thing you're building up.

    Mirror
    GUS- The ad is read as LH equals RH. There is only one mirror and can be used for either side. Before electronics almost all cars were this way. Escpecially our cheap, assembly line American cars.

    Your friends 500 HP ford. He must be useing a newer crate motor with a super charger or nitros. Other wise he is really dropping some serious money into that car.

    Take some pictures of his car- interested to see what a MKI Escort is - and the engine!

    Not a great photo but can get an idea. Looks like this was a popular rally car from what I could find.
