It does not exist, except for some drag race custom jobs but they are not street cars. Closest thing would be a notchback which is all fiberglass with a small flat rear window.
All I know is that rear glass weighes a load!

spme of you guys need not leap into the fire so quick.

They make stock size lexan for all windows, including the rear window, which i have seen on the stock hatch.
I just saw stuff in summit catalog, came yesterday actually.
also many other companies make lexan like, polycarbonate , which is much better.

Stock glasshatch and decklid = 86 lbs -- lexan with fiberglass decklid = 11lbs

Percy's speedglass is the best quality lexan on the market - screw mail order - either get it from a local race shop or buy direct

Yes by from Glas -Tek 630-978-9897 Percy's sent me their. they were very cool on the phone . they will sell you just what you want, either less expensive lexan or speed glass.

hey 9.0L firebird , are you the guy from www.camarotech.org ? did you do the glass deck and speed glass hatch yet, I am planning it and wounder, did you use dzus fittings or direct bolt it to the area or did you use the factory metal surround and use the hinges and latch?
