Title: Verify if NOS Door Mirror is real
Post by: jack on April 10, 2013, 01:15:42 PM: HI Everyone,

I just purchased a NOS left door mirror GM# 3914753 for my 1969 Camaro SS convertible X55. Inside the foot of the mirror I see numbers HA 610 71. I don' see any where the product number 3914753 stamped.

I just want to know if I bought the real thing.

Thanks

Jack

However, this would be a later issue (1980's, 90's, etc...) mirror and the manufacturers code on the glass will probably be DCA with an R in a circle instead of the original DMI. What's the ebay auction number?

On my mirror it's 1-DMI-9, so January 1969.
My ebay number was 330867907618, I did purchase it. The seller said it was a New old stock. However the seller has a second NOS door mirror GM# 3914753 ebay:
Item number 230960650799.

thanks

Post by: bertfam on April 10, 2013, 08:59:28 PM: unfortunately, the HA 61071 casting number on the base is also used on a lot of the repop mirrors, so there's no way to tell for sure.

I bought both of them from GM in the early 80's (I wanna say $17.00 apiece), and they are still where I put them 30 years ago or so. If I remember correctly, they are DMI's, not DMA's.

Regards,
Steve

Ed and Troy did confirm me that they think my mirror is a NOS. But it you have time, it will be nice to see your pics - casting number and mirror DMI.

Take Care

I bet you would, too. Do you think I could ask $300.00 for the $279.00 quarter panels I bought in '85 ? How bought the $86.00 ZL2 hood in '74 ? I bet it would bring at least a $100.00 -

Gee, don't you wish someone would go on and invent a decent time machine - but then, someone else would get wise to the guy who went back and bought all of the crossram kits up, hoarded COPO's, Yenkos and ZL-1's, and won all the lotteries.
