Some more trivia:
It is believed that more cars may have had sport mirrors, but after a few owners, and possibly paint jobs, the evidence is lost bec/ the mirrors are either missing or replaced with another style. Why were these mirrors commonly removed?

Mirrors were too small, and their mounting location made them nearly impossible to see anything out of.

Close. The mirrors are dimensionally long, one needs to lean back to use them, and they are 'small'.
However, according to reports: you can't open the wing windows, they will hit the 'bullet' or 'cone' of the mirror! The mirrors also vibrate, and provide a blurry view once you get your head into position. BTW, we believe the Yenko, in his 'cheapness', only installed the driver's side mirror on a particular Deuce - must have been too much work to drill or punch the holes for the passenger side mirror! The window sticker shows the full price though, $20.
