Howdy folks,
I've found two 404 windscreens in the Portland OR
area. Dave at Eurocar,
http://home.teleport.com/~eurocar/ told me about a
year ago he had one on a parts car that he would sell
for $300 USD. The second was a place called Apple
auto glass, (503) 230-1133, and I think she told me
around the same price for a brand new windscreen.
Luckily I found my parts wagon with a full set of
perfect glass so I quit looking. To have apple glass
come out and attempt to swap the cracked windscreen in
my 68 with the good one from my parts car would cost
around $160 USD. With no guarantee they won't break
it of course.
Shipping from Oregon would probably cancel out any
savings on price so you should probably get the one
locally. I'm kind of bummed that I can't find a
rubber windscreen gasket with the metal inlay. I've
only been able to find gaskets without them. Too bad
I like the way it looks with the metal.
Good luck.
