Default 1969 Corvette Glass

It was about 4 years ago I purchased all the glass for my 1966 L72, dated, from Pilkington. This is my first venture in a C3. I know Auto City Classic is one supplier. However, all they sell is tinted glass. I am aware the tinted windshield band will get a huge deduction at NCRS judging. I have all dealer paperwork with the car, and it was ordered without tint. It is a car with air conditioning, which some would argue that it should have been built with the A01 option.

Anyone know were to order non tinted, dated, glass (windshield, side windows, and rear removable window). Any leads would be appreciated.

Ron

so NCRS will complain about the tint, but not about new glass with a 41 year old date code? how is this different than restamping a 78 454 and calling it an L88?
