Laminated are regular glass made in layers with the plastic, or whatever kind of material or vinyl between glasses layers. They don't explode, just break where hits. newer cars are made laminated ( just on windshield ), like 50s and earlier 60s cars, because if they break you still can drive with allmost full vision. Tempered won't allow you that. With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela

Tempered glas are WAAAAAY MORE RESISTANT to ship. With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela

I've not seen anything but laminated windshields for a long time. For the front glass that is. yes, for newer safety reasons laws. ALTHOUGHT a temperated glass is WAY less harmfull for the human on a crash, the laminated is stil safe on a crash due the viny layer, but also if a stone jumps on your windshield and breaks, you still can drive around but... if somebody knows from some OLD stock tempered glass for an E body will be great. A friend of mine shipped to Venezuela 2 new windshields ( Laminated ) and one USED rear glass ( tempered )... no one of the fronts made the trip in one piece. Rear arrived PERFECT With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela

If you find an aftermarket one, it probably will be tinted. Some years ago I could not find one for my 65 Fury Sedan. I paid over $500 for an aftermarket (made in Peru) windshield. Tinted would have been half the price. 67 Coronet 500 9.610 @ 139.20 mph 67 Coronet 500 (street car) 14.82 @ 94 mph 69 GTX (clone) - build in progress......
