is that a 2 door or 4? will the front glass from a 4 door work? i can find only 1 windshield in the whole southern Mn. and i dont really like the owner of the junk yard,, kinda snotty and very high prices. that windshield of his is 75.00 and has scratches. thanks for any advice

If you can wait until spring and don't mind a road trip, some of the yards I frequent are littered with F-bodies. Most are a bit of a drive from here. There's one a couple of hours up the road that had at least 20 the last time I was up there, as well as a couple of M coupes and a lot of sedans. I'm 100 miles due north of Green Bay.

I don't know how far you are from the Tomah/Sparta WI area, but I went with a friend to a few private yards down there several years ago that had a number of F-bodies lying around. I don't know how to get you in touch with anyone in particular there, but maybe a few well-placed calls to parts stores, auto shops and the like could get you a lead.

From a friend of mine.

I CAN SEE!!!! New windshield



I had SafeLite install a new green tint windshield, they manufacture replacement glass for our F-Bodies.

My OEM glass had numerous small scratches and some micro chips.

I'm a happy, happy dude.

I've been looking for over two years. Nothing that I can get my hands on. Did find one in a Cordoba at the wreckers, believe it or not, but my friend cracked it trying to get it out. That's the closest I have come for the 1982 Blue Mirada (base). I ended up buying a 1980 Cordoba with an intact windshield, and then a 1981 Mirada CMX (in red with a white fake convertible looking top), also with an intact windshield. Still looking for a windshield for the Blue Mirada.

This includes what BHA43 posted. But here is a pretty comprehensive interchange list for most parts.
