Re: [Chevelle-list] Windshield for a '65

[Mike Holleman]

Charles, The windshield you need is anything but rare. It fits many A Bodies from 64/67. There are some new one's that are better than others. If you can find a PPG or US made windshield buy that one. I just installed one in my 64 Tempest, same as your's, and it came from China. Was a little thinner than stock and it already needs replacement from a rock ding on the Power Tour. The US made one might have cracked as well, but I will be looking for one made in the USA this time around. I remove and install my own and paid $125. for this one. $175. is a fair price, but you may want to ask where it was manufactured.
