TaylorMade Windsheild W/Wind Wings

I'd like to add that besides the American Skier, it's the correct windshield for the 60's Mustang and Skylark that had the curved plexi type.

Dan, First off.. Welcome!

The w.shield Billy has is a one pc plexi. I dont think it's the right one for your cuda. I think most cuda's had a two pc glass windshield, and the SS Im sure did.

Ive got a 66SS and a 68 "plain" cuda, both have the two pc ones.   This is a pic of my 68 cuda when I first bought it.

The glass - two pc windsields are not available new, and are pretty hard to find. Might have to watch for a parts boat. Do you have anything on yours now?

BTW, what state is the Galesburg you live in located?

Tim,
Again,Im not sure on the standard cudas, but the literature shows the safety glass windshield as standard on the SS models.

Note: under standard features....




Lots of times gone by... maybe they"ve replaced damaged originals with one piecers in the 40 plus years?

Steve, Im not following- does it say 2 piece windshield anywhere? My 1-piecers use the safety glass as well.

FYI that Barracuda I posted above is an SS. There was nothing to indicate that the windshield had ever been replaced. Maybe CC outfitted *most* of them a certain way- but Ive yet to find something that they were 100% consistent with during that time period.

Steve, I cant be sure what material that SS windshield was- its been several years since I saw that boat. I want to say that my inca gold Skier has a glass windshild and that the yellow/red one has a plexi- but Im not 100% on that. I wouldnt put it past Correct Craft to call the plastic windshield "Safety Glass" though. As far as why they used both the one and 2 pieced windshields, who knows- maybe Taylor gave them a deal on both types.

You can't go by pictures in the brochure either

Here in the standard Mustang brochure they show the 2 piece,but in the spec's it says plexiglass.Then in the SS brochure it shows one boat with the plexiglass and a close up of the glass one and it says tempered glass in the features

Dan,
   Illinois!... Thats what I was wondering.. I live in Sterling...


    How long you owned the boat? Got any pics?

We have a place in town here,Quality Plating, that has done some chroming for me, pretty reasonable and decent work... heres a        link to his website.


Where do you run the boat?   Drop me a line if you get a chance...   kten72@yahoo.com

Dan,
    How did you find the boat?

    Your cuda still have the old 318 poly?

Steve or any one, how come so many Barracudas have Chryslers in them? Can't just be because of the name Barracuda can it?

Too bad then that there were no 429 Mustangs or Hemi Barracudas.How about a Grand National Skylark?

Gary,
It was a time when lots of the marinizers of engines had dropped out and Chrysler was about it. To name a couple, Interceptor stopped doing the Fords (68-69?)and Gray who did the AMC's had gone under before that (64-65?). Then H/M came along and started doing the Fords again about the same time OMC did the GM's. There are a surprising amount of late 60's Mustangs running with 318's.

Edit: How did we turn Billy's wanting to sell his windshield into one talking about engines??? Lets let it get back to Billy's sale !!!!
