I just bought a 1963 Convertible and was thinking of installing a passenger side mirror. Is it the same mirror as the left hand side? Left hand side is all I can find on line for purchase.I do realize it was a dealer option at the time.
I'm a bit nervous about drilling holes in my door.

There are 2 mirrors that may have been installed on your car. Early production date and late production date. They have different bases.
Short base and Long base.
That right hand mirror was a dealer installed item. Not from the factory.
Both "Corvette Central" and "Zip Corvette" ( and I'm sure other suppliers ) show mirrors for your car. Do your homework as you don't want to make a mistake.

IMO, it depends on he state of the car. If it is a pristine example, then adding the mirror must be done as if original. If it is a good street car but noting special then any mirror that fits the door panel will do. Send us some pics of your new baby please!
