Hmmm---interesting. I check with Vendors before buying from outsiders so 
I'm guessing you haven't been offering these for too long. I think it 
has been 3 or 4 years ago that I bought mine.

One other observation; the passenger side mirror is NOT convex which 
limits its usefulness. I found a Harley Davidson mirror with the same 
size and shape and transferred the glass to the Camaro mirror. Much more 
useful now.

I have two 69's. One is SN 1813 which was an October 68 car and the 
other is SN 5686 which was built in the first week of May 69. Both of 
them have the round mirror. Since the rectangle mirror and the round 
mirror use the same mounting base, the factory may have run out of round 
mirrors for a time or some Camaro mirrors may have accidentally been 
installed. A lot of funny stuff happened in the last model year for 
Corvairs!

Another post states that the rectangle passenger side mirrors are only 
correct for cars with remote control driver side which were rectangle. 
That may be true. Non-remote rectangle repos are available for both 
sides which was the information I was trying to provide. Maybe Curt can 
determine whether the rectangle mirrors he mentioned is the remote or 
standard.
