I believe if you car had factory air then it got the tinted glass.

My 70 Malibu had factory air and tinited glass. I just replaced the glass (tinted with antenna) last year, $160 installed.

I believe the windshield that would have originally come in your car would have been LOF (Libby-Owens-Ford?). Take a look at your side glass and back window, you should be able to see the LOF logo.

They're still in business, and I think your windshield is still available. Call around to some of the glass shops in your area. Good luck!

Take a look at your side windows and rear glass. Are they tinted ??? If so, your windshield was also tinted.
The 2 tint options in 70 were:
A01 Soft Ray Tinted Glass, all windows.
A02 Tinted Glass, windshield only.
I ordered A01 so my side & rear are also tinted. If the car is going to be driven, get the new tinted windshield with the antenna.
