YEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!!!!
Tenaciousness pays off! For the last TEN FUCKING MONTHS I have been trying to find a windshield for my 68. On what’s been pretty much a daily basis, I’ve looked through Google, Craig’s list and numerous other sites, sometimes spending a couple of hours at a time in the pursuit of it. I don’t even want to think of how many hours I’ve spent in front of this time sucking whore called a lap top. So many times I’d find something that would work, but it’s too far away, or it’s glass is smashed, or their unwilling to part it out, or they want a thousand bucks and want me to come pull it (and its cracked) and so on and so on. Then, finally, I see a posting on Craig’s list for a 70 superior caddy that’s being parted out. Here’s a chase I’ve been on several times before. I go to this guys work, (in a junk yard) look at the windshield which is NOT stock, but a replacement. A God Damn newer one! AND it’s already been pulled! (From the looks of it this thing was probably cast in the mid to late eighties, so it’s 15 to 20 years younger than the car!) No pitting in the glass around the edges, no cracks, no bb holes where it’s been shot at. And the tinting is smoother than the original style, it fades smoother from the darker strip at to where it goes clear about one third of the way down.
So here I am, swooning, drooling and about to load my pants, front and rear, then he tells me the price.
$300.00
In my account…
$360.00
Holy shit on a shingle and call it a sandwich God….
I’m still in la la land.
