Value- '72/'73 right mirror
 
I was looking for another mirror when I came across a right (passenger) side 1972/'73
(Small rectangular) stainless mirror. Good original condition. I haven't seen this in repro.
Any opinions/ideas what as to value?
Thx, Dan

Thank you Matt for trying to help. IMO it is so completely outrageous that the operator of a for profit message board blocks competitor's names in URLs! This is not a charity case. This is a for-profit message board that drives people to buy products at the "host" and also advertises. There are very many people who would very happily "donate" the hosting, moderation and management of the message board / BBS. There is no need to be "loyal" - follow the cash! ... C R A Z Y !

Porsche never made a right side 'small rectangular' 72/73 mirror.

If you had an RHD car, you got a large Durant. If you had an LHD car and ordered a right hand mirror, you got 2 large Durants. There were a few right side 72/73 repros 5-6 years ago that were very poor. But Porsche Classic and others sell a very nice repro now.

(can I call it a repro, when it's not a reproduction of anything Porsche made? Maybe it's a right side 'aftermarket tribute' to the left side mirror.) :cool:

I just like that you call what is currently showing up in a Porsche box a repro. I feel the same way about it. I bought a new Porsche Classic mirror for my 74, large chrome flag. I would have paid more for a nice used original one than I paid for the factory branded repop. It's not the same thing by a longshot.
