The typical go to mirror for the add on 65 is the bullet mirror which would have been the most easily accessed from the Ford parts department and used on all 66's .The Talbot style would be second IMO. Ether way it is your car so do what you think best for you.

I think that's the way I am heading Bob. I like the Bullet

Small trivia point but: 1965 GT-350s did not come with side mirrors.
Any side mirror is a non-stock day-two change.

I didn't run one until cited in the mid 1970's.

Agree completely, prob a good survey thread as to everyone's mirror of choice. Still up in the air for me too as to what I do. 

Speaking of day 2 changes. While looking inside the trunk on 5S274 on Saturday I spotted this from the first owners  green paint job
I'll keep it as history

Congratulations!!! I'm happy to see another Don's car in good hands!He owned 241 too for many years but on concours purpose!
Enjoy the ride !!!

Thanks Chris

I'll Have a look today and let you know Corey
Cheers

Roll bar yes as an option from the SA accessories list early on (the front extensions that hug the front windshield don't look like they are there in the October 1965 grainy photo)....roll cage no in 1965....cages didn't start to be the norm until 1967 and on at least in SCCA.

No front extensions the original owner said, it looks identical to the 4 point ones in the R models. Cutouts in the interior panels are lined with door windlace.

 

Agree Bob, I am no expert on who would have done it but I wish I knew. It's certainly interesting and I'll be keeping it in

A fun resto ahead..

I agree, the roll cage will stay 100%
Original owner 100% sure it was ordered with it.
Mirror on side I would like to get, anyone make out type?

You should check with Howard to see if he has anything on the rollbar.

Thanks Bob.Been taking to Howard a bit about the race history and roll cage. Filling in some gaps. 2nd owner is also certain he saw the car and it had roll cage in it just after pick up new.

Hard to prove SA put it in, theory was maybe dealer asked them to put it in after? The dealer and SA were close in location

Thanks all. Yeah she has some unusual day 2 stuff. Lots of history to pay homage too. The roll cage is pretty cool. 2nd owner has some more day 2 pics he is digging up and I'll post them once I have them

One more pic guys, here is the original receipt when the car was bought from used car yard/wrecker in 1970 for $600
How times have changed

Looking forward to helping if needed with your process.

Thanks Bob, I'll no doubt be calling on your expertise. Appreciate it

Congrats Trent!

Thanks!

Anyone sell a typical bungee cord? I remember some recommendations maybe on forum 1.0?

Thanks

Thanks guys, I appreciate the well wishes.
I spoke to the original owner in the last few days.
He ordered it with a Roll cage and that  was in there when they picked it up from the dealership. Pretty cool
You can see it in the newspaper pic, that's October 65
