Try www.musclecityglass.com I had bad luck with them last time but I called to make sure it was in stock and ready to ship. 5-6 days I had it in my possession. Definitely improved since last year. Give them a shot.  ;)

No worries TC.


You should look into a new, no scratches, no chips brand new with part numbers.
Unless you're going for a 101 point show car it is your best choice.

TC, forget about an original. They are impossible to find clear or tinted. Your best bet is to contact OEM glass in Ill. I had my 71 Conv windshield date coded and everything to the original.  It was perfect! I will warn you.....hold on to your wallet. Cost my insurance co $1100 twice, just because I was being an a$$hole with them on replacing my orig glass with an orig glass. Not the cheapy replacement!
Cant kill the mean and ugly. Only the good die young...I plan to be here a while!!

Hi, just some general information and  about us. We carry some NOS glass for Chrysler/ Dodge etc (earlier Barracudas) but as most know there are no original windshields and side glass for the 70-74 Series. Bottom line new windshields are $106 tint with shade band if you are in the New England area for pick up.. we have distributors in about 12 states where you can pick one up, no freight/ boxing etc for same price through our company. They are mostly in western and southern USA.
We use to own Lo-Can Glass International (50 years family owned operated)
 which was sold out in 2002. ProSource Glass started up in 2004, we have been supplying classic car, antique and special interest glass to the trade and public . I have been personally at it full time since the mid 1980's so feel free to contact me for any info, price quotes etc.
