[BaadAssGremlins] Re: mirrors (long)

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Hornets passenger side mirrors were all non remote however a Group 15 
Accessory. So you had to buy it. Only the Barcelona and Cassini coupes had a 
passenger side remote mirror you could control ir from the lower right of 
steering column, had a huge, long cable. Later Spirits and Eagles would get 
this, but a option/accessory.

I will only post this once as it is pain in the ass, so someone save it 
here. The reason why is one day maybe you want passenger side mirror or bid 
on one on fee-bay, and it might say "amx" or "matador" the heads are same 
but different necks from series to series. So someone save this shit below:

mirrors     series   part number  suggested list    wholesale dealer net

companion for remote 68-69  8992314    8.19  6.18 2.50
*=on 72-73 models, use only when vehicle is equipped with left remote 
control mirror.

Note the above mentioned "manual" is non remote, this is how AMC called 
them.
The above is for all "mirror Outside, manual, right 15.270.

I have the "remote left" also if anyone wants it.

Or....you can buy one of these great Group 15 books, I have 1970, which 
lists mote 65-70 Accessories, and also 74, whihc lists most 65-74 
accessories:
 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330007620424
is the 1970 release
 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330007613779
is the 1974 release.

If you want one, you don't have to go thru fee-bay, they make enough money, 
just send me $11.50 for one or $20.50 for the pair. The best thing about 
these as mentioned in the auctions, is sometimes you come across something 
and not sure what it is.

note description, but not for AMX or Javelin, only for Rebel and Ambassador 
with short cable.

this star pattern was also used on aMX and Javelin.

the seller is Brian Moyer, who owns some Gremlin prototypes like Voyager. 
This part number quickly comes back as 72-74 01-40 Series.

Anyhows, good luck, and it is always good to "add" what I call "invisible 
options" to your classic AMC, stuff like tilt column, mirrors, am/fm, the 
list is endless, and it is how AMC nickled and dimed buyers to death. Works 
for me.
