You can actually get windshields locally pretty easily still. I'd contact some local glass shops in your area and ask them. Buying local will allow you to avoid the very steep fees associated with shipping a windshield.

Are you referring to Auto City Classic in Isanti, MN, not "Classic City Auto" in Wyoming, MN? Website LINK.

If so, their prices appear to be industry average, and they charge $110 for freight shipping to OP's zip code. I don't think there is any chance it would be cheaper to go through them versus buying locally.

I bought my front & rear glass from vendors and paid the freight shipping. Then I later figured out how easy it is to find locally. Hundreds of dollars in shipping fees wasted.

Yes thats the place, I always get there name turned around. There price for that windshield is a little over a $100 so not sure what the shipping would be. I live in MN so I I just drive down there when I need something.

An FYI... most new A-body & early F-body TINTED BACK glass, ESP the common less expensive reproduction pieces have serious distortion in the tinting. Easy to spot coming up on from behind when driving down the road. When I'm out and about on the local roads in my truck, see it all the time on what appear to be slick painted bug smacker/driver builds. Have yet to see that level of distortion coming from reproduction TINTED side glass.
