SVX windshield- Vancouver/ Portland area

...Just in case someone local needs a windshield,

Today I had Metro Autoglass Inc out to fix the windshield on my 71 Ventura. While doing it, the guy saw my SVX and mentioned that 2 years ago they had bought a SVX windshield brand new and it has been in storage since then. He said they picked it up for only $180ish because the distributor made a pricing mistake!! So to sum it up, he said that if I or anyone I knew with and SVX needed a windshield, they would cut them an awesome deal since they themselves got it so cheap!

The installation guy who did my pontiac was named Chris (I believe). Just mention him or reference my 71 ventura install, then they should know exactly who told me about it.

The windshield is the "bluish" tinted version.

I know first dibs is legally binding but I doubt they will want to deal with shipping, this is in Vancouver, WA, USA . . . not the one up in Canada.

I'm calling second dibs because I'm local and I can take my car to their shop.

If the installer is correct about the price they paid, they aren't giving much of a deal. Yes, when I contacted them, I told them the price I had heard they paid for it. Here's an email response I received from them:

metroautog@comcast.net

Hi Daniel & thank you for choosing Metro Auto Glass! We can do glass & labor for $700.00 & we can do this for you tomorrow @ your location.You do have life time warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.Give us a call (503)654-0114 were happy to be of service.


I was expecting something more in the range of $500, that would cover their expenses, give them some profit and clear out their inventory.

I'm going to try this guy first, new windshield installed, $328:

Let us know how you come out with Goldendale glass. That would be a good price.
