Anybody have a nice pair of sports mirrors I need a set manual ones would be best.... if I can’t find them remote will work to what do you have ? Thanks
If they are the same as a `70 GTO, I have a pair. The driver's side is a remote but if I remember correctly there was an issue with the control part of it. If you're interested I'll have to dig them out and look a little closer.
If Golden Oldie can't help you I do have two driver's sides, both remotes. One is certainly better than the other. http://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/rear-view-mirrors.343022/
Please read: http://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/warning-to-all-regarding-sport-mirrors.319713/#post-2667603 Not all sport mirrors are created equally. You will need the right base, gasket, mirror body and glass to be correct or it will look terrible.
A couple of helpful items... Also, there is a thread on here about someone making new reproduction base gaskets. http://www.buickperformanceclub.com/SportMirrors.htm http://www.buickperformanceclub.com/HowToInstallSportMirrors.htm Brad is SO correct about the base gaskets, etc, etc; But I used a set of Camaro/Firebird mirrors and flipped the gaskets over and trimmed the little locating tab. It worked for me, but this is on a mere Skylark, not a true GS. On my 1971 GS convertible, I have TRUE, CORRECT sport mirrors...
thank guys . I forgot to mention ....the mirrors will go on a 70 gs 455 would like the mirrors to be as close to correct as possible I know my car only had one Trishield mirror from factory ...
A little tidbit for your information and amusement: Although the same sport mirrors were used on the Olds Cutlass in 1970, the only (I repeat, ONLY!!!) Buick cars to get the sport mirrors was ONLY on the 1970 GSX; It was NOT available on ANY other GS, not the GS 350, not the GS 455, not the GS Stage 1, not the GS convertible nope, not ANY of then, Definitely NOT on the Skylark, not on the Skylark convertible. 1971 and up, well THAT is an entirely different subject. YES, they WERE available then...
