Does anyone know of a replacement mirror for the 68-70 AMX/Jav? My mount, arm, cover etc. is in good shape but the mirror is pretty weak. I beadblasted/painted the back - kinda looks ok. Glass is pretty good but day/night doesnt work.
Open to replacements from other makes/models/universal that will mount to the existing arm. I keep an eye on ebay and for-sale here, but most are about the same condition as what I have. Thanks

See if you can find a '71-74 Javelin mirror with the double ball joints. They are better mirrors, and a perfect fit. |

I have a 1967 Camaro with the original mirror. I swapped the mirror into the AMX and it fits just fine. The color is not right but it opens up a lot of options as this mirror fits a bunch of chevy applications and are readily available new/repro in various widths. Looks like the replacements are polished stainless with grey plastic rim.

I used a "69-72 GM A B-body Interior Inside Rear View Mirror 12 Inch Day Night rearview" from ebay for my 1970 Javelin - worked great

I dont think the RV mirror on my 1968 AMX (earlish build?) is original to the car.
The housing is chrome, the lever is on the bottom, and the trimaround the face appears to be faded from a light color. (odd, as the initerior as I received it was all black (not dyed) although the door tag is tan) My son's 68 Javelin's mirror seems to be black housing and trim, and lever on back. Any pics or details will be appreciated. Here's mine: |
