Yes! You can get windshields for most A,B and C bodies at Classic Auto Glass: (see the two attached photos) I bought one for my '69 C-300 a few days ago for $247 plus shipping ADVICE STEER CLEAR OF THAT OTHER COMPANY CALLED VINTAGEGLASS.COM - classic rip-off artists - the usual bait-and-switch...

It was built at Chrysler in Jefferson, Michigan and went up to Canada, stayed for its whole life until I imported it 2 yrs ago. All done properly using a customs brokerage, inspected to make sure all was original equipt, deemed to be exempt EPA and DOT, everything good at DMV except this final...

Fantastic info - thanks very much. I'm going to re-read that a few times and make sure I have it all stored away. What about the guy who just bought his C-300 yesterday, all CA registered, yet it lived in Florida until 3 months ago and it has no stickers on the car? Makes me think perhaps I...

Wow - now that's interesting. maybe I should drive to Nevada and register it there using a friend's address. Then bring it back to California and register it here three months or so later.

yes that's true. Do you have the PCV valve and vented oil filler cap at least? Also any stickers?

Many thanks.

OK, thanks again. I believe this was an east coast car fr many years. I'm the first owner in California. I did contact Galen for a broadcast sheet and will post whatever I find out during this trial by fire.

Fantastic! I'll definitely follow that up. Many thanks!

Well, I guess all information is good information even if it's bad news. Then my only hope is to take a photo of the sticker in place (and suitably aged) and send it to them - or maybe they might ask me to have the car - and existence of the sticker - inspected I suppose - no problem there...

I know - insane question but is there any way to obtain a copy of the build sheet? Haha! crazy, like I said! I did get one for an old Mercedes once, years ago. I wrote to this guy in Germany and he sent me what looked to be a photo of the build sheet for my 1971 car!

Yikes - I'll have to do a full body search ! I'll check above the glove box and under the carpet right now.....

I can try that - they're not even asking for an inspection so far. The DMV local office inspected it when I first registered it a year ago and then sent my paperwork to Sacramento. I was waiting for the final version and title document to arrive but got his request instead.

Yep, that's an accurate description of me banging my head on the desk! It just needs to be on Chrysler (Fiat now) letterhead and state my vin number and that the vehicle met all U.S. emission requirements in effect at the time it was manufactured.
