Nice score!  I got one the same way for my Bunny..   I think it was actually for a later Cabby as it has the tint across the top..

Lucky you :P

A few years ago I watched a golf ball sized rock leave a semi's tire when it was about 100 yards away coming at me, I lost sight of the rock and saw it again when it was like 2 feet from the windshield >:(
Just the impact knocked some glass loose on the inside and the cracked area was about 5-6 inches across, since then they've spread everywere :'(

yeah, it's pretty good. it was a barn find. this old man owned it and he died and his wife hid it away for years until a buddy of mine found it.
the interior is mint. the back seat looks never sat in.

i will say that it starting to rust out in one spot.
if you open the hatch and look at the glass from the inside, around the bottom near the seal it's bubbling.
gonna get that fixed quick.

but under the windshield it was rust free.
i was very happy cause my cabbys windshield is ready to fall in.
