studegary Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 What year, make and model rear glass/window was used in the Ford Mustang based Avanti coupes? Also, is the rear window the same for the 2005 and 2006-2007 model coupes (different base cars)? This sounds like a trivia question, but it isn't because I do not know the answer and am trying to find out from someone that knows for sure.

Gunslinger Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 I don't know the answer but the glass should have some identifiers in one corner...manufacturer, date code, etc. Take those numbers to an auto glass shop and they should be able to help if a web search doesn't.

drn1965 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I seem to recall from 2006 when the '06-'07 Mustang based Avantis were introduced, that the coupe model's rear glass was noted as being sourced from the then just out of production GM Firebird/Camaro. The first Mustang based Avantis, the '05's, were convertible only. Gunslinger's suggestion of reading the etched manufacturer data from a coupe's rear glass, is of course the most certain way to determine the source.

Randy Atkin Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 It is a Pontiac Firebird rear glass for the years 1993 - 2002. So any Avanti coupe from 2001 thru 2006 has the same rear window. I don't believe any coupes were built for the 2007 model year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the answer (that's what the window looked like to me, but I wasn't sure). That window makes the Avanti coupe look a lot less like a Mustang. There is at least one 2007 Avanti coupe and there are two more coupes that should be 2007s but were titled as 2006s because they were built on 2006 Mustangs (so the VIN is for a 2006). EDIT: IIRC, John Hull, former AOAI President, owns a 2007 Avanti coupe. Edited July 2, 2018 by studegary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hull Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I was told it is a 1989 Chevrolet Camaro Rear Glass window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Atkin Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) I hate to disagree with the King of Avanti but '89 Camaro glass is different. I stand by my answer the correct rear glass is '93 -'02 Firebird Trans AM and same years for Camaro.
