There is a thread somewhere on here that shows you all the differences between the similar looking Mopar mirrors from that time. So you can tell which are for the Challenger and which are not.

You have seen my old website at http://www.dodgechallenger.co.uk/ haven't you? Lots of information there. Although some of it is wrong and out of date the majority of info there is OK.

The first mirror you posted is not a Challenger mirror. The base looks wrong to me.

The one I posted is a 1970 Challenger mirror that would be painted body colour. You could order body colour or chrome.

The chrome mirror is a 1975-1980 (or something) Mopar mirror I think. Watch out for them because a lot of sellers are trying to sell them as true e-body mirrors (They are NOT). You recognize these fake mirrors thanks to absence of screw holes in the base. Instead, there are three threaded bolts sticking out from the base.

Yes, I am 99% sure about it. I do not see any reason for using them on an e-body though. To drill an unnecessary extra hole in the door is not the funniest of things, right? I also doubt that the other holes will fit.
