Good source for Windshields?

[Moabion]

I've got a 73 Fury I with a cracked windshield and finding a replacement is proving to be $$$. My only glass shop tells me $650 + 150 shipping IF he can find one. Gotta be a better option???
TIA

Any local "been around a long time" glass shop can get them for three hundred installed, tinted or not. They are available.

Thanks!

Thanks guys,
Yea, my glass shop has been around a while (35 yrs or so) but not long enough it seems. He is my step bro. so he did get it for me at cost but he didn't look the right places it seems. Got it done, but $700+???? I saw the receipt for the glass and cost was ~540 and shipping was $183.

Glad to know they are still around and available as this car is a driver. Hopfully I don't need another though.

Car is done!

Merry Christmas!

I may be anal, but I have one in storage that I pulled off a parts car for my NYB if and when that day comes.
I just stocked up up on new window motors on closeout from RockAuto, too.
18 bucks !!!

I had a windshield put into one of my 71's three years ago. The bill was under $300.00 for tinted glass. There is glass out there with all original markings on it for a ton of cash but $700.00 seems too high to me .

Stan, you have too much time on your hands searching for the photos you come up with

You're 100% correct. You'll be doing the same thing after your retired.

Yeah it's a necro post for sure. But I did find my glass recently $25 for the windshield and backlight. Had to drive 954 miles round trip to get it, but still well under the cost of new.

If you have a sedan and not a hardtop, then that glass is rare and expensive (and is the same rare glass used in the Town & Country models). If you have a pillarless model, or hardtop, then the glass is cheap, readily available for around $200 installed. No one that I am aware of reproduces the sedan version, hence limited supply and demand driving the price up.

Recently a friend of mine located a vendor with a stock of them. I think we cleand him out of the 6 or so he had, all but one of them were CLEAR, shipped I think we paid $300-$400 each. These were for the Sedans, as far as i know he has none left.

This was the test fitting of the trim during the bodywork, the glass was resting on foam blocks.
