WTB: Motion Rear Window
A long shot, I know.
If anyone has a lead on a Baldwin-Motion rear slant window for the Phase III kit, I'd sure appreciate it. Don't want to have to "fabricate" one.

Actually that is really a Ecklers GT rear window...Motion bought from them,
It was offered window only or on the rear clip...one just went thru Craigslist 300.00 I will keep my eyes open for you....
PS...I believe the window if from the Vega

I thought the windows were from the hatchback Monza. If anyone has dimensions of the Motion/Eckler glass, I have three Monzas(2 V8 Spyders and a Mirage) to compare to.

Here is the Ecklers GT rear ( Same as Phase 3 Motion ) and Vega rear, please ignore the silly kid racer Wing, but note GT rear spoiler and bumper.
Then here is the Ecklers hatch vette rear which IS known to be the hatchback Monza glass, much bigger than the GT rear above....I had one of these rears many years ago....even the Monza louvers fit
I keep telling you guys I dig customs....

Bats -- First of all, thanks for the lead. Been doing more research.
That picture of the black Cosworth is a hatchback, right? Methinks the window I need is from the SEDAN (or NOTCHBACK). It is smaller than the hatchback glass and harder to get since the hatchback is more popular.
My limited research shows that the Pontiac Astre might also provide the same glass (good luck finding one of those, eh??!!)
A nation-wide parts search actually pulled up about 20 windows. Now the work begins . . .

I believe you are correct that is was perhaps the notchback...the picture I posted does look a little large but the wiindow fills the whole cove on the vette rear,
I simply can not find a picture of a notchback rear window to compare,
Take your time the rear clips pop up for sale a fair amount.
Here is a Pontiac Astre that appears to be a hatch back?
Going on the rear tire for scale seems this glass would be about right...
