I know the windshield on the Coronet convertible and the Barracuda are PPG. I believe the windshield on the Coronet hardtop is also PPG. I had used the same glass shop on all the cars for many years and they had no trouble getting the new windshields within 2 or 3 days. The shop I eventually took the hardtop to, for solving my leak issues, didn't replace any glass. I wish now I had gone to them in the first place and had them supply the windshield (would have been cheaper and would have been painless). It was Virginia Auto Glass in Dulles, Virginia (Its right behind Washington DC's Dulles Airport).
Keep in mind that some shops won't touch the glass unless they sell it to you because they don't want the responsibility if they break someone elses glass.
The original glass shop did indicate that the windshield on both my 67 hardtop and my 67 convertible were a p.i.t.a. to install. He had a hard time getting the new windshield gasket to fit right and stay in place. Of course I found out when I went to Virginia Auto Glass, the the original installer didn't really know what he was doing.
