I found a guy locally that is daily driving an '80 Pinto.  I saw it in his driveway and stopped to let him know I had parts available.  He is going to stop tomorrow to look at what I have.  His father has a Pinto too and has a homemade plexiglass windshield.  He is excited that I have a good windshield.  Based in this thread, I know they are rare.  What should I ask for mine?  I'm not looking to crush this guy and am going to give him pretty much anything he wants from my car that I don't plan to use in my project so he's going to end up with a great deal.  It will help me create more floor space so I benefit from giving him anything I have no use for.

The "out the door" price for a windshield at Pick Your Part is about $45. But that requires that they actually have one (not likely) and YOU have to remove it without damaging it. As I noted above back in 2012 I purchased two Studebaker windshields that have scratches and bull's-eyes and they were $100 each. On the low end I'd say $75 and on the high end I'd say $125. For additional reference four years ago I cracked the windshield in my daily driver (2000 Mazda Protege). $100 got me a brand new windshield installed and the old one disposed of. I just had to drive to a bad area and sit in their groody waiting room for an hour and a half. But Safelite was $350 and it seemed like a small price to pay to save $250.

He came over today to look over my treasure.  His father wants/needs the windshield.  He can use my doors and fenders.  Once I'm done with my project, he can have all my leftovers.
