Why does it only have one body color mirror on the driver's side?

I'm guessing that's the way it was optioned when ordered. I just restored an AAR with the same thing....single painted racing mirror. Passenger side mirrors were optional.

Maybe the fender tag can explain why. No optional passenger side mirror codes visible. Code should start with a "G" isn't it?

At what point, in production, did they stop having the color coded shaker? I seems like this one should've had argent, maybe?

Yep, my AAR only has the Drivers Side Painted Remote and I have only G34 on my tag and broadcast sheet.

The Left Side Remote was part of the Standard Package on an AAR:

A53 - Trans Am package = T/A 340 Six Pack & AAR 340 Six Barrel only. Power Front Disc Brakes, 11" Rear
Drums, 8 3/4 Axle w/ 3.55 Ratio (opt 3.91), Sure Grip, LH Remote Painted Racing Mirror,
Hood Pins, Rear Spolier, Side Exhaust, 26" Radiator w/ 7 Blade Torque Fan, Fiberglass Hood
w/ Fresh Air, Rear Radio Antenna when Radio ordered, Rallye Suspension, Front & Rear Sway
Bars, Black Trans Am Stripe, Collapsible Spare and E60 & G60x15" Ployglas Tires

there were very few early production RED shaker bubbles when new - now every RED car seems to be "restored" with a RED bubble

originally the 'cuda had the STANDARD driver's side manual chrome mirror

added elastomeric bumpers, added mirror, added wheel lip mouldings

wrong decklid & trunk floor

We were just talking about this car.

Along with the Hemi fuel pump debate.   :cheers:

SOLD for 209k! Sounds like a steal

:takealook:  Well that's a LOT less than the $395K that Rich had it advertised in Hemmings for over the past two years ...  :console:
Cheers!

It also has the 71-74 rear splash pan, and the plugs for the shock bolt access through the trunk floor should be orange, not black, a few other little items, but all-in-all a beautiful car!!!
