1967 NOS or Repo Windshield Sources

[Brian D.]

I'm looking for a 1967 windshield, which goes on a coupe if that makes a difference. The car is a January 67, so any date code within August 66 will do. I'm somewhat wary of repos, due to the tinting configurations being inaccurate from original. Who might be a good source for NOS, slightly used, or accurate repo?

Thanks!

NOS is a needle in a haystack, used will be pitted at best, repo, call Pilkington Classics, located in Columbus , Ohio, they bought LOF years ago and have rights to the logo and can date code.

Although Pilkington acquired LOF many years ago and still makes dated LOF-logoed reproduction windshields through their Vintage division, NOBODY anywhere makes a reproduction tinted midyear windshield that won't get a deduction for a non-typical shape/contour of the shade band. The only alternatives are used or NOS.

Or could Brian go with a dated lof reproduction in clear (no tint) if your car did not come with full tint and windshield tint only.

Hi John, I was wondering if you would know of a source that has an NOS original 67 dated windshield? I have only been able to find a couple of nice used ones over the years, and that was not easy to find.

Yes, if the side (and rear glass if it's a non-A/C coupe) glass isn't tinted.

Don't know of one offhand, but you might try J.T. Piper's.

Re: 1967 NOS or Repo Windshield Sources

I'll have to check on the other windows' tint factor. We were able to determine that all other windows had good date codes/logos, but never thought to check tint at the time. The car is a non-A/C coupe that I'm shopping.
