While most cars did not get the mirror option, I have seen several that have, as well as the Dixco gauge pack and the 3 spoke cushion grip steering wheel. Marlin will chime in with his data, as I'm sure he has records of all this... I know many of the Colonial cars had additional equipment, including the mirrors, but some didn't, I think it was basically a matter of what the dealers checked off on the order blanks. The network dealers used an order form to select any additional options they wanted... I have a blank one around here somewhere i think, but I'm pretty certain the dual rear spoilers and hood scoop were items that never actually made it on any cars, at least none that i know of... the car in the sales flyer has the scoop on it, but it was a pre-production car that wasnt even really a COPO, and was actually a dressed up 250 6 cylinder car that Don put together before the LT-1 cars were even built or delivered to him. Marlin, do you have any info on option breakdowns for the Deuces in the registry?

I know that all of the known Fencl Tufo cars had options like gauges and fat grip wheels.

The scoop is the Hurst Rebel Machine version, the twin sport mirrors are the Hurst Olds/ScRambler version, the shifter is the Hurst #4177 Pontiac GTO bench seat version, the second order of cars were shipped to Hurst - most likely for conversion. The Deuces have a major Hurst connection.
To our knowledge, no COPO Deuces received the hood scoop or twin rear spoiler (CalCustom item) options. As for the sport mirrors, more cars received them than I thought. Here is a quick breakdown of most of the options: Based on actual data from the 175 produced: Auto Trans = 53/175 produced; 30% Power Steering = 48/175 produced; 27% Custom St.Wheel = 33/175 produced; 19% (Extrapolated) Twin Sp. Mirror = 26/175 produced; 15% (Extrapolated) Instrument Group= 11/175 produced; 6% (Extrapolated) Based on the 85 Deuces found to date: Custom St Wheel = 16 ---> 19% Twin Sp. Mirror = 13 ---> 15% Instrument Group= 5 ---> 6%
