Reply to "Does Anyone Know What Mirrors These Are..."

Chuck you are correct those aren't Ford mirrors. I can tell by the mounting system. If those were Ford parts they'd have the "Ford Oval" logo cast or molded into them somewhere. I'll bet those don't.

The sport mirrors most often installed on the Pantera by Lincoln dealers were the Mercury Cougar sport mirrors. That's what's on 6018. They have a very "up-right" mounting base, therefore the mirrors hug the window glass very closely which limits the rearward view the mirror can provide. I've also seen Pinto, Maverick and Mustang II sport mirrors used. They all use a similar mounting system using a spindly base and 2 sheet metal screws.

Off topic a little bit, I have a hot tip for those interested in period correct Ford mirrors. Sport mirrors were also optional for the 72 - 76 Torinos. Those sport mirrors mount on the side of the door, not the top edge along the window. They hang out a bit away from the door and therefore provide a better rearward view. They mount with hidden studs built into a sturdier base instead of sheet metal screws that are always loosening with the other mirrors. This results in the mirrors being mounted more solidly and sturdier than the Cougar/Mustang mirrors and to my eyes the difference in the mounting base design makes the mirrors more attractive.
