I suspect the NOS ones had a wider range of adjustment. I have mine mounted just behind the windshield pillar on both the driver and passenger sides. The passenger side mirror just barely can be adjusted to be usable.

The pictures from both of my '64's show the factory mounting holes for the driver's side mirror. The passenger side would be the same dimensions, which is what I did on my cars.

This thread brings back memories of my original '64 GTO that I bought in '64. It had no outside mirror--too much wind resistance at the drag strip---lol!! When I was 22 years old, no big deal, as it was easy to twist around to look to the side and behind. Age does change things!!
