Question: I have received two FM (red) '70 El Caminos. Both arrived without a rearview mirror.
The pictures on the "car lists & reviews" distinctly show a mirror....the car is really nice, and I guess the mirror is not essential...but I am a purist...and, well...suggetions?

alan is it the Door mounted rear view or the inside rear view?
If its the door mounted rear view I'd say that it HAS to be there because I would think that by 69-70 Door mounted rear view mirrors were mandated in all states! Also, is there a hole in the door where the pin would mount? if not then I would say that there wasnt any intended and perhaps being it is classified as a Truck, a mirror may NOT have been a mandate. JUst a thought.

Keep trying, Alan.....
Mine has all the mirrors (3), it's a very nice, well done issue. No excuse for not getting a correct one!

Is this the blue one with the black roof? it looks nice!
I'd like to add that one eventually!

This is the inside rear view mirror.

Thankfully Allan....
its not an LE so you chances of getting a good one is better, not 100%, but better
