Does anyone have a clue where to get a set of these mirrors?

The obvious places:

eBay
wrecking yards

These are of course no longer at the dealer, and since the Colt was an economy car, not a lot came, or were ordered, with the optional electric mirrors. Which is the only way to get the passenger side mirror.

Dave, what did you use to stick the mirror bracket to the glass?

I like the body color on that mirror...it really looks like it was made for the car.

They all came black - Henry Ford style.

Some, like these, have been painted body color.

I did not put them on the car, they were on the car when I became the caretaker. I do not know what adhesive was used. They were not too hard to remove, even though they were on the car for about 20 years. BTW, my Colt mirrors are electric, both sides, though the controller was not hooked up when I got the car.

I agree the Colt mirrors look great and probably offer the best "look" for the car especially when painted black + the body color.

From a vision standpoint, the mirrors are terrible at best. I decided I needed vision and installed Vitaloni mirrors. Now I can see what is behind me.

The mirrors in the pics are Dodge Colt-or-Plymouth Champ mirrors.
The Dodge Omni mirror is COMPLETELY different, not the same mirror
I know this due to the fact I have owned a Pantera for 23 years and
for the last 15 years I have REGULARLY spent weekends at the wrecking
yards looking for these specific mirrors for the Pantera, Mangusta
& Longchamp. The only manual version of these mirrors is ONLY for
the drivers side. Never on the passenger side. The years for this
style mirror is 1979 & 1980 only, after 1980 the Colt & Champ bodystyle
made a change. The 3 models which carried the electric style for both
driver & passenger was the Colt Turbo, Colt California & Colt Sport.
The Plymouth Champ version was the Sport Limited if I remember right.
Yes I have a set currently on my car and I have about 13 extra pairs
of which about 8 or 9 pairs are COMPLETELY RESTORED (satin black)and
ready to be installed on any Pantera.

I used some stuff called "Amazing Goop" Clean the glass really good so there is NO oil or wax on the glass! Then the Goop on the piece your going to glue to the glass, I then i put a couple of clamps (in my case the one piece mirror) and let it sit for 24hrs. So far no problems for the last 6 years! The Amazing Goop is about $3/4 bucks?

Your mileage may vary?
Good Luck

Welcome to the forum!

Do you have any switches for these mirrors? I have a dual power set with no switch. Thanks.
