Just out of curiousity--does anyone know if a passanger side mirror was a factory option in 1970?  My car has one, which I think gives the car a bit of balanced uniformity cosmetically speaking.  I have looked in all my corvette books as well as on line under corvette specs and it is not mentioned.  Anyone know????  Thanks in advance.

I believe they were an Option in that year.  I don't know what RPO number it is.

At that point passenger side mirrors were dealer installed options. There was no RPO for that listed in any literature I've seen.

I figured that it was a dealer option, thanks for the input.  Enjoy your summer.  I know I am, it's finally getting warm in Connecticut.

It's definitely a "dealer installed option". There's no RPO that I have ever found. But ... I put one on my '70, mostly for side vision but it looks more "balanced" also - as you said earlier.

 I put one one my '71 not only for the 'balanced look', but more importantly, being able to see in that huge blind spot!


   I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

To me I think that all the vettes should of came with one.   At least my year vette was standard equipment.
