It still has its original top and interior and even still had its original deluxe wheel covers on it when I bought it. I am pretty sure my bird glass is original to my car even though it was built so late. Like other have said, there is no rhyme or reason to it. I think a few runs of it were made and the workers at the plant used it until it was gone, maybe judicioulsy or maybe randomly. I have also seen glass on '68 Camaros that has an "Astro Air" (or something like that) etched in the glass in the same spot. It seems GM did this on these camaros and birds with the deletion of the vent windows and inclusion of the new ventilation system in '68.

There are exceptions to every rule
With the Bird glass there are no "rules" only observations and calculated guesses.
I think I may have made some of those FGF comments years ago when Geoff was putting the site together.
There is still alot of mystery to the "BirdGlass".
Ive never seen that late of a 68 with it before .
I did have a 68 that was only a few years old and was totaled, had one tinted and one clear bird glass.
It was a loaded 4 speed Sprint.
