Does anyone know where I could get a rear view mirror for a 72 maverick ? I got the car painted and they lost my mirror !!! Any help would be great thanks
Unless your looking for 100% absolutely correct, I would get one from mid to late 80's Mercury Grand Marquis. The mirrors look very similar and it gives you the little flipy thing on the bottom for night time when people have their head lights on, not to mention readily available in just about any junk yard.
Jamie .. Mavericks were also available with day/nite mirrors - they were optional ... both of my cars have them .. There is currently an NOS one on eBay ... note the D0DZ part number indicating it is for a Maverick .... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NOS-1970-1971-Ford-Pinto-Maverick-Rearview-Mirror_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34206QQitemZ4559306731QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
yep thats where i got one mirror before its the same thing! i coundn't see paying 56 bucks for a repo when you can get them in the junk yard for 5 bucks or less! also you can get them off a 80's LTD and even early 90 tempos, mustangs acutally almost any ford pre 94 ish 95 ish.
Or you could get real fancy and install a automatic Day/Night mirror from an 80's or 90's Lincoln...it fits!
Got mine at Advance. Fits well, and just about like the one that came in the car.....about $10, and is a day/night mirror.
I purchased a day/night mirror from a local auto parts store and the glass is distorted like the side rear view mirrors that say objects are closer than they appear. The base was not exactly the same as factory but it worked. I would rather have a mirror with regular glass and day/night.
Ok this is gunna sound dumb but the person who lost the mirrow found it lol ... I dont need one now. Thanks for all of your help though. I like that I can get help quickly on these forums from fellow maverick owners. thank you guys
1 question... how did you come up with it being the guy that painted the cars fault to start with? this is the inside mirrow...right??? ...frank...
When they had the windshield and rear window out I had them replace with new and kept the old. They took off the mirror off because they thought it could have gotton damaged in the process.
