Looking for glass for convertible. Looks like they only have glass for a hardtop. _________________ No Dents

I know I've seen some impressive window collections in the classifieds.
They're probably on page 258.
I remember side glass of all types being hard to find back when all we had were swap meets and phone books.
Now I think the problem is getting all us old timers to list the stuff we've had settin' around for so long. _________________ Volkswagen!

I found out today from a local parts store that his supplier sold his last set a month ago and can't get any more. _________________ No Dents

I just bought a 64 convertible parts car, and both doors still have their glass. I haven't had a chance to strip it down yet. If you're interested I can send you pics once I get the glass out.
I don't know what a fair price is for these, but I'm not out to make a killing on this like the Save All Ghias guy in the above link. I bought the car for its pristine nose and pristine lower rear fenders, which will be going on my 66. Everything else off the car will go at fire sale prices because I don't want it sitting around. _________________ Currently own:
