Door Mirrors for 1968
Short answer: All 1968 Firebirds came standard with a left-hand (driver) side-view mirror; a remote-control mirror was optional. 1968 used two LH styles — a round (1st type) and a rectangular/square (2nd type), the rectangular phasing in around early 1968.

| 9787901 | 1968 F; 1967–68 T, P | Non-remote, round (1st type) |
| 3914753 | 1968 F | Non-remote, square (2nd type) |
| 3899857 | 1967 F | Remote control |
| 9792565 | 1968 F | Remote, round |

Notes:
- The rectangular (square) 2nd-type standard mirror came into production after Jan. 1968 (possibly a government-regulation change). Registry research has found it installed as early as the 2nd week of Dec. 1967 — two documented, original unrestored Firebirds built that same week have one round and one rectangular.
- There were two different LH outer door panels as a result of this change (stamping differences), and the mounting bracket also differs.
- Accessory package for the LH remote-control mirror in ’67/’68: 984758 (ALL), 984752 (Pontiac), 984974 (Tempest).
- Many dealers sold a matching RH (passenger) mirror, but there was no separate part number — they simply used a LH non-remote mirror.
- Reproductions are available. The standard mirror is the same for all F, T, P. The remote mirror is NOT the same as Tempest or full-size, despite what some used-parts dealers claim.
- The 1967 and 1968 Firebird remote mirrors are different — 1967 had a larger, longer base; 1968 is stubby. The 1968 Firebird mirror is also not the same as the 1968 Camaro. The round mirror housing itself is shared across Pontiacs, but the base/casting numbers differ, and cable length varied by model.
