'64-'65 Chevelle Remote OSRV Mirror?

[Verne_Frantz]

A friend of mine owns a nice '64 El Camino that was originally optioned with a remote osrv mirror (which is now gone). We've been noticing VERY high prices paid for a few of them, so I was wondering why? Is that mirror, by any chance, part of the '65 Z-16 package?? That might explain it.
Thanks

yes, Verne the Z16 had the osrv remote mirror standard. It was also available on chevelles and Malibus as RPO Z13. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

Thanks. I kinda figured that must be why NOS ones are selling for $1500. & up. I think my buddy's going to have a hard time finding one he can afford for his lowly El Camino.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

perfect oportunity to use the aero cal-custom mirrors for that "day2" of the early 70's look. JMHO.

I've restored many remote mirrors....very difficult to do correctly and finding a good plater is on the expensive side....I've had great service from Jon Wrights Custom Chrome..Find a used one and tear it apart.....You may even have to replate the NOS ones....Doubtful they still look good after 40+ years of box wear..... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif
