1967 windshield with correct tint banding?

[William B.]

I need a new windshield for my 67/400hp restoration. Looking everywhere, does anyone make a correct replacement that will not take a heavy point deduct(50% 10 points).
Or if I must take the point hit who makes the best replacement?
Thanks for any replies, Bill

William,
I seem to remember that Pilkington Glass (Vintage Division) had finally come up with a "correct" replacement glass for the C2. Give them a call and report back what you find. Thanks.

No matter what vendor you buy the glass from I believe Pilkington has the rights to the logo so there is only one source for the glass. Have they corrected the tint? Is really the question.

Looking for websites, not much information listed, is auto city glass, the same as Auto city classics? Go to Pilkington , no longer lists any info

Not what you are wanting hear but the tint band is not correct in any of the reproduction windshield. You may get lucky and find an original one but it will not be cheap.

Original windshields can be polished and the date can be changed. As said before, it ain't for the points v. dollar crowd.

Gary,

Your statement about the band in tinted repro windshields was correct for what was available 5 years ago, but the tint band has been changed since then. Are you saying the revised tint band is still not correct?

Yes, still not correct.

Re: 1967 windshield with correct tint banding?

About 4 years ago I bought a dated Auto City shaded windshield for a 65. It looks and fit fairly well. I have a few original windshields and have seen others and all have a faint band on the bottom edge of the top colored band. It's a dark or bronze like color that you have to see at certain angles and light. I haven't heard of anyone reproducing it. I can't remember comparing Auto Citys glass but they advertise the correct green tint.

This is what Auto City Classic Glass is advertising for '63 - '67 Corvettes.

How much $$$ can one expect to pay for an original 1967 windshield in excellent condition?

A good one is like hens teeth to find. There was one for sale on ebay a number of months ago for around a 1k and the seller said it was in very good shape and it was pick up only. He's in Mississippi, seller name ofdfd2. It may be gone as I don't see it listed but than he may still have it. It was a 65 or 67.

I picked that one up for a fellow member so, ...it's gone.

[Gary J.]

Re: 1967 windshield with correct tint banding?

That one was for a ‘65

Interesting , so a 50% originality deduction just for tint if date and logo , etc. are correct? So not using CDCIF?
