Here's one in a '68 Charger. Is this correct for the car?

This is the mirror which came off my '69 roadrunner convertible...




After looking at the pictures my memory has been jogged, the attachment to the post I quoted is what the convertible base looks like, notice it has ROUNDED corners, the hardtop/coupe bases have squared off corners ,also the convert base and stem is polished chrome, the others are not.

edit ... I can't comment accurately on the stem change

There is a change to the post from 69 down to 70, the 69 down is round.





More jogging needed... My 68 has a square stem... I hate it when that happens..

Maybe it's 69 only for the round stem? My 'vert was a 68 and I sold it 10 plus years ago, I can't remember which it had .

70runner... interesting. Our cars should have the same shafts and base. Our bases match however there is something going on with the shaft configuration. I actually have two of the mirrors shown in my post. Both have the exact same base and shaft. One came off my 69 RR convert. The other was off a 69 GTX or Satellite convertible .. one or the other. Can anyone clear up what a 69-70 mirror assy is supposed to look like with some pictures and info?

I find it hard to believe there isn't a good understanding on the subject - (CORRECT '68-'70 b-body rear view mirrors)
--- & the parts book isn't making a convincing argument.

per the parts book:
2 different mirrors: '68-'69 VS. '70
2 different "bracket & shaft" for convertibles: '68 VS. '69-'70
2 different "bracket & shaft" finishes: convertible "chrome" VS. all else "painted"
3 different "bracket & shaft" for non-convertibles: '68 VS. '69 VS. '70

appears to be:
2 different mirrors: early '68 (no border) VS. late '68-'70 (plastic frame)
2 different brackets (bases): 2 corners/2 rounds (convertible) VS. 4 corners (all else)
3 different shafts: long "Teardrop" VS. short "Round" VS. short "Square I-beam"

I'll get the specifics from my brother's '68 GTX (September '67 built St. Louis car).

I'm not 100% sure, but all the mirrors on 68 Chargers that I've seen, all had the black frame around them. I seem to remember the one you have being for C or A bodies. Again , Im not completely sure.

The 2 mirrors on both my 68 Chargers had the black surround on the mirror

What are the SPDs of your Chargers? The Charger I posted pics from is made up of a couple different cars & I think the rear view mirror came out of xp29f8b187116 with a B01 SPD. The black plastic backed "frameless" mirror is also in my brother's '68 GTX (SPD 927). I believe '67s have a silver metal back

& the Parts Catalog shows the same mirror head for all '68 passenger cars.
