  • Value of a good used windshield for a '63 Lark

    Is $150 a fair price for a good used windshield for a '63 Lark?

    Yes it is, since a New one would be at least $350.00 + $110.00 Shipping + possible crating charge.

    Then there is 100.00 Labor to install and $100.00 for a New Seal.

    Of course if you are buying a good price is $50.00, and if selling $150.00 !

      Only if the glass is REALLY in good shape. If it's at all pitted or scratched, it's just not worth the trouble, and best to go with a brand new one. (In My opinion)

          I have sold a lot of used windshields and have sold them for $100.00 and as of right now I do not have any 63's left but even at $150.00 is a good price, you will not find a perfect used one so if for a driver you are way a head get a used one they can be installed by yourself to save money, last two I sold were 63's cut down to fit the 64 and it was very easy to cut the little that needed to be cut to fit, 64-66 are getting hard to come by used.

            The 63 glass also fits 64 Daytona convertibes and wagons.

                Not too hard 61-62 fronts are the same. I've had a used one sitting for quite some time it's usually in the wrong region of the country for someone.

                  Does anyone have a cheatsheat on how we can tell what a windshield fits. I know i have several, when I put them away I thought there is no need to mark them as I will remember, but guess what, my memory is such that I am not positive any longer. A cheatsheat with measurements on it would probably be a good thing to have.

                    unclemiltie-I know what you mean about the memory part! I usually mark my glass w/a Sharpie. I've parted numerous Lark sedans & wagons & I always told myself one of these days I need to MEASURE the windshields just to know the difference from a '63 to a '64 if my markings dissappear.
