Title: Chrome Power Mirror
Post by: 83Heritage on January 08, 2010, 03:51:05 PM
I am looking for a Passenger side chrome power mirror for my '83 Thunderbird. Like a moron, I tried to shimmy between the car and the wall to plug in my battery tender, and busted off the mirror. I'm not in a real hurry, don't plan on having the car out again 'til April at the earliest. My zip is 44614 (for shipping purposes)

Is it the same as an '88?

vinnie 87-88 mirrors will physically work but they dont look right as i beleive around the mounting bezel its different... 87-88 used flush mount glass and i think the mirrors have little wind splitters but 83-86 cougar mirrors will work for chrome and tbirds for painted

As the_intimidator03 stated, they will work, but they don't look correct.

Is there any chance you could either post some pics, or email them to me? krowles44720@yahoo.com I'm being kinda picky and would prefer not to buy ones that look pitted/dull/scratched. But then again, they are getting harder to come by, and I am not going to let that keep me from putting it on the road. How much are you looking to get for it?

I wil get some pics in the next day or so for you. These are in very good shape. I bought them as extras for my sons Heritage figuring if I ever found someone who could rechrome plastic I could get a set done as a test without having the car tied up with no mirrors.

Just went and brought them in from the garage and snapped a couple pics so here they are. They are dirty and dusty as they have been stored in my garage for about a year and a half. I didnt want to clean them up first as its about 8 degrees here right now and I didnt feel like standing in the garage. As far as a price goes, I tried giving away for free some parts before sping them and got no takers so if these are something you might have a interest in make me an offer and we will see how it goes. If you prefer to hold out for a better set, no worries I will just put them back in the garage.

Those are pretty much the condition I found mine in. I am pretty much realistic about not being able to find perfect new like parts. I am just thrilled I found a set that the chrome was not peeling and crackling...
