Does a 67 date coded windshield with some wiper scratches have any value to try to sell locally?

Unless the scratches can be rubbed out with jeweler's rouge or a compound, I would guess it is worth very little if any value at all. Deep scratches are hard to remove and sometimes causes distortion. However, if you can rub them out, a restorer may be looking for the correct date. Just my opinion.

Wiper marks on windshield are not into glass. The codes marking is SAFETY PLATE, LOF, AS1, LAMINATED, 7A AND M3
The car was built in NOV 66.

i would say it has value. the down side the value would only be to local people who can pick it up so that limits the market.

Given the great amount of work to remove the existing windshield and reinstall a suspect windshield for judging, I find it hard for someone who would want to go thru the effort. Plus, if there are any flaws, the judges will deduct points for condition.
Good luck in your quest to sell it though.

I understand the value of matching numbers but coming from my Auto Glass installer roots that thing would be chucked in the dumpster as fast as we could toss it in....

given the choice of points loss for configuration differences of a repro vs a good used with minor condition issue. I will take the condition problem
