Had a conversation with a guy who had one in Los Angeles (I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) about a windshield for my 82 base Mirada. He wanted $US395 for the windshield, not an issue. He said that shipping would be $US700 (sounded steep, but I couldn't find a windshield anywhere in Canada). So that was OK. Then he said that he couldn't guaranteed that it would get here intact. That was the show stopper. In essnence, I would be paying almost $US1100 for a broken windshield. Said no thanks. Ended up selling the 1982 Mirada shortly thereafter.
That's why I dumped my 82 Ttop mirada,no glass,no exhaust,no parts cars anywhere near me in Phoenix,which I found odd.. J bodies are PIA cars to get parts for..Had a conversation with a guy who had one in Los Angeles (I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) about a windshield for my 82 base Mirada.
