I am also looking for said mirrors if anyone has some used ones they want 
to part with (for my 67BGT). There should be a flat one on the driver's 
side door in the regular spot. I think the passenger side one mounts on the 
front fender and if so, could someone provide the coordinates?

I do know that some of the Mark I cars came with the bullet mirrors on the 
fenders. Rather cool looking but I'm not sure how effective they were. A 
friend of mine had them on his 67BGT when we were in college, long enough 
ago that they were likely original. Anyone have an opinion on these?

Currently my 67BGT has tacky DPO mirrors so I'd like to get rid of them 
soon. I'm trying to keep the car close to original so I have the mirrors 
and some interior DPO modifications left to reverse.
