Question on 1970 mustang windshield

A picture would sure help. On a 42 year old boat there can be a lot of "changes"

John.
The split glass was an upgrade. Many came out from the factory with the plastic. You could get an idea on the ratio by going through the diaries.

You need to know a little about what Gary went through with the windshield. The original was bad. He then put a "Sport" model on it which was the only one still in production from Taylor. Several years later, he found out Taylor could make him the original which was the taller version since they still had enough of the aluminum extrusion to make one. Gary got the very last one from the factory.

There is a company I believe in Texas that does make the split windshield replacements however, they are plastic and not glass. Still better than nothing!

Here's the company that makes the plastic replacements for the split windshields They say it's for a Classic so it would work on a Cuda too. On a Mustang, some trimming of the width may be needed.

Looks like they are in Florida and not Texas!

I did find a place called UPD in FL. The only thing was when I did talked to them they wanted me to send the windshield to them. How in the hell can I do that if it smashed out in millions of small pieces(it is glass) so then they wanted me to send them the windshield fram. Are they crazy that would cost a ton of $$$$$ to ship back and forth. That is if it did not get destoryed in shipping. In there ad it said they have the mold to make them. Why do they need mine if they made them before? They do have pics of what they have made in the past. The windshields they have (on the link below) there is one for a 1961, it is the only one that has a pic. If you want the 1966 mustang you have to send your in. Will the 1961 work? and if so, what other model would work with mine?

Mark,

I have a single piece windshield which was the original standard windshield for your boat I may be willing to trade for yours. The windshield is complete and im good shape. The single piece was the standard the glass was an upgrade, my invoice shows my boat had the glass but now has the single piece. Please contact me.
