I purchased a storage unit of OMC 50's - 70's boat parts and have been selling them on eBay for 2 years now, id switchy109. I have uncovered a windshield that I would like to put up, new with one chip along the edge, and I dont know how to list it or what it might be worth. It would have been put into the storage unit in the 70's. It is flat glass, 36" wide and 17-1/2" tall with two humps on top, like on the top of a heart. Any ideas???

  1. This hard to say. You may be able to just list it as a 1970's model boat windshield, boat type unknown. Then if a person need this, they will know what it is and bid.

    Now, I want to explain a little about windshields. As far as worth, this will only be worth money to a person that need it and they not going to pay a lot with shipping. If, the windshield was curved (Say like the Bat-mobile for example) it may have more value. Flat Safety Glass can be bought at many sources. I had a 1954 F-100 Ford Truck years ago. The back glass was broke when I bought it. It was flat safety glass. I called around and had a magazine for this truck for parts. Everyone wanted $100 or more. A friend told me to call this local lumber company's glass shop (Windows and Doors stuff). I called and the man said; "If, it flat I can cut it, you want tinted or smoked"? I said tinted as that match the other glass. Took the old out for a pattern and he had it ready in 1 hour. Cost me $20. Same glass that come in cars! Now, had it been the curved front glass I would have had to pay the price for a replacement. Hope you understand what I say. Good Luck.
