Destroyed my front window.
Found that my front window was cracked. So i decided this is a good time to remove all birdcage rust.
But my problem is where to buy a new window. cant find at ecklers or corvette central.
Any recomendations?

Part 5886 1968-74 Non-dated windshield $235
Part 5887 1968-74 L.O.F logo and date. Specify date. $430
Part 5888 1975 to 1982 Non dated $225
Part 5889 1975 - 1982 LOF logo and date. Specify date. $430
All 1968 to 74 are available clear or tinted. 75-82's are all tinted.
I think the tinting is just along the top edge.
Those $235 windshields may be repro, if so the glass may be thinner than stock. The $430 windshields are probably from the original manufacturer made to GM specs.

Thank for the responce.
In norway th price will be 1000us+
But offcorse there is a big risk in transportation.
I will have a look around, and see i someone nerby is going to transport a whole car ore something. Then i can put the window in the same container.

Here in Thailand I brought my original to a auto glass shop and they made one that is perfect including the black at the bottom, cost $300.
They can copy almost everything.

Nope, sorry. They are repro parts made to modern standards by a specialty manufactuer. Nothing to do with LOF og GM. They are usually detectable during judging, not really worth the extra bucks.

How do you reproduce a windshield??? I thought you had to have a very expensive steel mold to shape the heated and softened glass.
