I got some on a roll from a glass shop that wasn't correct,but worked and looked good. The guy thought it was for a newer chrysler Daytona ??? Might check some glass shops in your area.
THIS is the correct answer! Just call a glass shop. At the time when I did my 64 Fury wagon, there were no repro gaskets for the 1/4 glass, and I needed something. I called my glass guy, he came out and looked at it, took some measurements, and in about a week, he had something to use. Sure, it wasn't "correct", but it worked well!
Wanna know what it was? Windshield gaskets for a CAT! Perfect size! And cheap!

Since you're changing the windshield anyway and your Cuda isn't stock, all A body hardtops through 76 used the same windshield. All you need is a 68 and later rubber gasket (available new), the stainless steel trim, and some clips (also available new) to get rid of the stupid 67-only lockstrip.
The back window is tougher, as it is unique to 67-9 Barracuda coupes, and of course only the 67-8 had the stainless trim, which seriously narrows the field of potential donor cars for the trim.
