Most F-bodies came from factory without mirrors on Right side doors.
It was not uncommon in possible high altitude areas (or those who might drive over the Rocky mountains often, for dealers to order 318 4-bbl cars – which only came with California emissions (which in my opinion offset any benefit of having a 4-bbl) – like in areas like Idaho.
