I believe the passenger side mirror was a dealer option. You can buy one through most of the vendors.

Here is Ecklers but check with Willcox too.

Note that the well nuts are not included and will need to be purchased separately.

The factory didn't install the right side mirror until they started putting "sport" mirrors on C3's ('77 ?).
