I don't know about California, but I bought the one for my 68 barracuda from Deep Ellum Auto Glass . I paid 125.00 for it at a swap meet in Conroe Tx. But he does ship and he is reasonable. His name is Robert Merrill and his office number is 214-712-0000 web address is www.deepellumautoglass.com You could check with him and get a price.I need to get a new windshield for my 69 Dart Hardtop...

Exactly. I needed a new windshield in my Dakota. Safelite wanted over $300 installed, and a local body shop that also does auto glass did it for $125 all in. The guy said they got their glass from the same source as Safelite.Did you try any of your local auto glass shops?

It's XYG brand (DOT 563) which is made in China. It's supposed to be slightly better than other China suppliers.
Another place that was helpful, but I didn't end up buying from (for no particular reason that I can remember) is Dick's in Rancho Cordova, 916 363-6554, Jim was the contact there. Same glass - XYG.
I purchased a windshield for my 67 Dart from Kidwell's Glass in Orangevale, 916 961-6917. It was available in 1 day. I picked it up at their location - I didn't have them install it. I also have not yet installed it. Price was around $115 (within the last year). It's XYG brand (DOT 563) which is made in China. It's supposed to be slightly better than other China suppliers.

If the source of the glass is an important factor for you then I think it's more of a challenge. I called a lot of places, learned a little about auto glass. Most glass appears to be sourced outside North America, at least for older replacement glass. I talked with the "hot rod" or "restoration" sellers and was not convinced the glass they offered was that much better for 3-5 times the price.
