" Have 63 Classic, 4dr.  Am looking for what years/models have the same
" glass.  Thought I had read that 2dr front glass were diferent..
" Local auto glass wants 750- for a new piece...  Can buy a whole car
" for 200-..., have a couple of options in regards to which to get
" 2dr/4dr..   Any advice is appreciated.

the glass co is ripping you off.  i got a brand new windshield for my
'68 american from a local co, installed, for $180 a few years ago.

when they said it was one of 3 left in stock i remarked i was lucky to
get one of the last few.  they replied no, as long as we have the
pattern we'll just make more.  [they don't make rear windows.  when
someone broke that i was lucky to find nos for $350]

i had to get tinted though, because they don't make untinted now, and
it irks me because i'm tall wnough that the lower edge of the tint
strip is just at eye level.

iirc '63-6 classic and ambo, and i believe 2dr sedans are the same but
ht and convert -may- be different.  do a web search for the glass and
see if you can turn the glass code up, then call around.
