    Unless it was part of a package I thought all Mav's only had the drivers side mirror as standard ..

    I've seen many a Maverick with only a drivers side mirror. They were always the square, chrome ones. I've never seen one with just one sport mirror.

    My 75 had one square mirror on the driver side and my 74 and 76 had the sport mirrors. My 74 also had the light package, so maybe it was a combo?

    All of them that didnt have the sport mirrors only came with one. There is no matching passenger side one that I've ever seen or heard of.

    Some 1970 Maverick Grabbers (including my old Grabber now owned by Dave Ring) only have one sport mirror. I have never figured out why some have one and others have both????
