The link above is from the Trifive forum, but the first post in that thread shows 3 very interested *period* photos from the '70s... Yes, there's one or more first gen Camaros depicted..

Decoding/Numbers / New Reproduction Pilkington windshields

« on: May 27, 2015, 12:39:47 AM »

I've got an open order in for a new reproduction Pilkington windshield, to replace my existing tinted/shaded PPG WS dated 69 (but thought to be an early replacement - and with a wiper scratch/scrub mark).  I have it on 'hold' to confirm the details to be as accurate a reproduction for my late '69 car as possible.  My original glass is all tinted SoftRay (except for the PPG W/S).  The PPG W/S glass is tinted and shaded.   

I opened a thread on TC (while CRG was down) in attempt to identify if the current Pilkington Classic repro tinted/shaded windshield is an accurate reproduction (or not).. and I've gotten some answers but not all.  The Pilkington classic repro has a 'blue shaded' area on the green tinted glass.  The marking they will use on my late windshield seems to be correct as best I can determine, but the 'blue shaded' area is an open area of concern.   if the blue shading was not used in late '69, then I'd rather leave in my scrubbed PPG W/S.   Does anyone have a known original LOF windshield in their car which is tinted and shaded?  I'd love to see photos of the marking on the WS and the shading and your estimation of the 'tint' of the shaded region.

Thanks in advance!
