For a 1968 Barracuda, is the windshield type coded on the fender tag as to whether it is clear or tinted?

I don't think the fender tag had that information on it. At least in 69 I know they didn't. Not that familiar with 68 coding.


inherited a 69 roadrunner from my grand pop.

It may depend on the plant where it was produced. My 69 Barracuda fender tag does have a G11 code for “Tint-all glass” on the fender tag. It was produced at Hamtramck. My 69 A12 Road Runner had tinted glass all around but the code only showed on the broadcast sheet and not on the fender tag. It was a Lynch Road car. The code for tinted windshield only would be G15.

For the 1968 tag. If you have 2 under the letter X on the 2nd row from the top, then the car would have a tinted windshield. If a 1 is under the X then all of the glass would be tinted.
If there is no number under the X then all of the glass would be clear.

My 69 Dart GTS has G15 on the fender tag for tinted windshield only.


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

My Hamtrack built 68 GTS has a 2 under the X on the fender tag. Tinted windshield only.

That is what I suspected. Nothing under the X, so clear it is.
