Hey gang..
Curious, but could not find it in a search, but isn't there someone who offers Daytona / 500 back glass?
AMD says out of stock though !

Day late and a dollar short Troy, AMD sold out on the run they had, plans for more are....nil, the California private producer passed away, I don't know the status of their mfg other than it was a side line outside of their regular glass work, being done as a niche for the hobby, if your looking for a back up spare, I'd grab that one off of Tony, bad glass is better than no glass
Mike
Tony's back glass was sold last week.
Thanks guys... Was looking for a glass for someone else... Not for me.. Mine are good thus far..

AMD's back glass are listed as 'out of stock', but I know they had some available a while back when they were showing out of stock then too (I emailed them direct). Fitment wasn't great, and price discounted because of it. Drop them a line if to see if they still have these 'seconds' if they are any good for your friends ride.
From Grant Janak today.
Hey Troy things have been going great! The Charger 500 looks awesome all painted up! We still make a polycarbonate back glass with a slight bubble like the original. It is a scratch resistant material with uv coating. Like in a diamond during the blowing process we get some imperfections. But our factory equivalent glasses are near perfect and run $650. We keep this item in stock.

Nice if you have a race Daytona... :yesnod:
FYI , The AMD re-po back-lite was laminated part unlike the orig tempered part . Tempered glass is much harder and scratch resistant than laminated .......
I bought an AMD one and it was tempered not laminated,and it looked good,and was date coded. The repro windows that were made by another vendor prior to the AMD Daytona rear glass were laminated,perhaps you saw one of those,not an AMD one Larry.

Uh oh, sounds like another sell/swap deal in the making.
the glass I have is OEM, out of cars years ago
...and behind the scene, the PMs are flying! :yesnod:
yup
It all depends on the date code on the glass. If its early enough, I would be interested. If its too late, then I have no use for a Daytona glass. Just for a 500 dated glass
just so you im still interested , although our avatars are close to the same but different people.
I'm still interested to.

If you broke your 500 glass in 1970, you'd get a "Daytona" dated glass from Mopar Parts.
(did any early built Daytonas get 500 dated glass?)
I'd rather have a later date coded original glass than any repop, any day.... Just my :Twocents:
hey where did everybody go ?? well maybe he sold the glass , the last I from him, he was going to call me back. thought I would have heard back bye now.
Im still here, work for a power company and have been kinda busy but it is on my plate, thanks.
thank you had no ideaof your job ,keep it up. :2thumbs:
I have a laminated reproduction back glass for a 500/Daytona for sale but i don't want to deal with shipping. I'm located in Portland Oregon.
I'm with Greg,
The closet I got to Daytona ownership was my 70 date coded 'DAYTONA' back glass lol :2thumbs:
Repop glass on a 'REAL' C500, thats just not 'the done thing'... :slap: :smilielol: :rotz:
Ugly ducklings (even in F8 green) deserve the 'best of the BEST'. :girlfight:
The California supplier is close to me. I bought my one year only windshield from them. I bet the glass is still available. If someone's in a pinch I could find out if they are still there.

If it's Lee at Alan Auto Glass in Burbank California 818 845 7300, last inquiry over a year or so ago for Daytona/Superbird rear glass I was informed of his passing, the Wingcar glass was a sideline from the main Auto glass business, I never got an answer if the glass would still be available? worth a venture for someone interested in pursuing? even if the frames/tooling are available for sale for another vendor to manufacture the glass, half the battles done if they can be procured...
