I don't know about the door glass on 66-67s, but the quarter glass is most definitely different.

My understanding (which may not be correct) is that during the 1968 design change the glass and top from the 66-67 model year convertible was reused due to the convertible's low volume (the same is true of the station wagon).

The 68-70 hard tops are also quite a bit shorter than the convertibles.

OOPS, I read it as the door glass only... Yes the qtrs are different... My apologies

66-70 verts all use the same windshield even though the big change in 68 to the new body style..
