That rh mirror is available repop for a little over a hundred bucks. I'm in the market for one for my 67 T&C.
Hotroddinwillie, I do know about the repop RH mirror - thanks. From comments of people who have purchased the repop mirrors it appears due to the minimal adjustment of the mirror itself, the mirrors are bascially useless and good for SHOW ONLY. Wanting to know if that was the actual case I contacted a vendor who sells them asking if he could confirm or deny what people on the forum has said. He stated he has the repops on all his own personal "C" bodie autos and really look nice, but confirmed that the statements were correct - that the mirror adjustment of the repops are as people have stated.
I ended up purchasing a NOS RH mirror from a guy on ebay - just a little bit more than what cheatin' JYJ took me for, but it's Factory Brand New.
There's a guy out there that sells Mopar Chrysler Parts out of North Phoenix Arizona. His name is Johnny Rosen aka "Junk Yard Johnny".
Don't know if you've dealt with him before, but as far as I'm concerned he's a FRAUDULENT, LYING CHEAT AND WILL BURN YOU and that's a nice description.
I purchase a Factory RH Mirror from him. He lied about the description & condition of the part. I receive the mirror and it's missing a chunk of metal on the base & comes with NON FACTORY micky mouse mounting hardware.
Dissatisfied I tell him I want to return it. He says he'll give me a credit.. I tell him I don't want a credit and he cusses at me and finally says he'll give me my F%#$!G money back and to just send it back.
I send the part back - NO REFUND.
I call to inquire about the refund and he says, "I DON'T GIVE REFUNDS - YOU HAVE A $200 CREDIT WHAT DO YOU WANT!"
I ask him to compromise with me and just RETURN the mirror back to me - NO PART!
He now has both my $200 and the part!!!
I now see he posted a 1966 Chrysler Wagon on CL and states in the ad he has an optional Factory RH Mirror - the one I returned to him!!!
HIS PHONE NUMBERS ARE - 805-340-1762 & 602-569-1010
OMG!!! I'M TOTALLY FLABBERGASTED & SPEECHLESS!!! JOHNNY ROSEN ACTUALLY SENT ME THE MIRROR BACK AT "HIS" EXPENSE!!
The Letter I wrote him -
Hello Johnny,
Before you get all angry please read this through. When you initially told me that the mirror was in great shape with no rust or pits (it’s Arizona, not the east coast) and that I would find none other and in better condition anywhere on the planet I took your gentlemen’s word that it was and decided it would be a perfect fit for my dad’s wagon so I agreed to purchase it. When I received the mirror I was disappointed that the base had a chunk of metal missing from it. I called you to say I wasn’t happy with it and wanted to return it. You immediately said, “Fine, I’ll give you a $200 credit!”. I then said that if you had told me it had a piece missing I would not have taken it and that I didn’t want a credit to which you then said, “Alright, I’ll give you Fucking Money back!” and hung up.
A little while later you called back all happy to inform me that your partner in crime had another mirror, but the price was $50 more plus another $25 for shipping. When you told me that the chrome on your mirror was better I told you I’d pass to which you got upset again, but calmed down and said, “Keep the mirror for a couple of weeks and think about it before you return it.” Johnny, I told you I was going on a trip and couldn’t return it right away and you said, “NO PROBLEM”.
When I returned from my trip I called you to say I decided to return the mirror and you said, “OK”. I was at the UPS office when I called you and shipped it right out to you.
I called you several days later after UPS indicated the mirror was delivered to confirm you received it and you said, “Yes I did get it.”
Having not received a refund check 10 days later I called to ask if you had sent it. You replied, “What check!” I said, “the refund for the mirror”. You then said, “I don’t give refunds! I only give refunds if I Yeep Up and I didn’t Yeep Up!”
I then said, “Johnny, you said you would give me a refund for the mirror” You then replied, “I’m in the shop, I’ll call you back”
And you never called back…
Johnny, I sent the mirror back ONLY because you said you would give me a refund. If I had known you were not going to give me one I would not have added to my expense of shipping it back to you and just kept it. I thought we had good talks and had a good relationship going, but it appears it has been tainted.
So right now were at the point where you’ve changed your mind and won’t give me a refund and I don’t want a credit. I guess the only solution would be if you would send the mirror back to me. I know business is business, and I would still like to feel I could call you for any future parts so if you could pay for the shipment back to me we can settle this and go back to being Low Tech Johnny and Hi Tech Steve.
I hope you will agree to my request -
Thank You for your time and listening. I’ll tell Courtney that you’re still an alright guy!
Here's two photos of Courtney - she's a young gal I met in Vegas at a Bobba Tea Place. When I initially emailed him the photo he went all GAGA and said, "Forget the money, just send the girl!"
As an incentive for him to send the mirror back I sent him two printed photos of Courtney. Since he didn't return a SCATHING LETTER with the mirror I'm thinking the photos did the trick!
