Where are you located?  I don't have a '68 windshield but I'm interested in the '65 windshield if it has no blemishes, is reasonably priced, and you'd be willing to ship it.  Mines perfect, but I'm always lookin' for a spare.  Let me know either way.

Thanks,

Brad

Everone I've got is fogging in the corners, That would be cool to have one without the fogging.  I'm going to just buy a new one.  I'm glad that the back glasses aren't that way.

  Did  a 65 sedan  use a different windshield than a 65 barracuda ( which is a valiant  after all)

I know the early a-body windshields have a lot of curve to them.  You ever try http://www.safelite.com/ they have most windshields for around $175.

The Valiant Effort car is a '67!  The windshield IS the same as a '69.  Most of us consider '63 thru '66 to be EARLY A bodies.  The '67 cars were about two inches wider.  Hope that helps! Grin
