Windshield Date Code
« on: April 28, 2025, 05:55:55 PM »
I am restoring a 1966 mustang Hipo GT fastback, that was built in Detroit and had a scheduled build date of August 12, 1966. I am ready to order my windshield for the car and need a little help with the date coding of the windshield. I do not have the original windshield for referrence. But I do have the dates for all of the side glass: Driver Door Glass-6B, Passenger Door Glass-6D, Driver Vent Glass-6A, Passenger Vent Glass-6F. What would be a reasonable month for the date coding of the windshield?

Thanks for your help.

None of my fastbacks have that much variance in glass date codes.

I have seen that the front glass is much closer to the actual build date of the car since it is used across all 3 models and supply runs out quicker than the fastback peculiar windows.
