Hi all,

Sad day. Got a rock chip a few weeks ago and now it has developed into a larger Crack on the front windshield passenger right corner (photos attached).

Any advice if this is repairable? Do I need an entire new windshield? Where do I source one/does anyone have a good used one for sale? I guess I will also need a new windshield seal at this point as well. Many thanks.
Never imagined this would happen as this is the original glass and I even used ceramic polish before to polish and preserve for originality.

It is not repairable, no. You do need a new windshield, and if the seal is 55 years old, a new seal as well. As Scott mentions, the glass (and seal) are available from W&N. Shipping a single windshield can be expensive, so searching for a US-based source might have some merit.

With the new tariffs a Windshield with a seal and shipping and tariffs will run you close to $2000 from Walloth and Nesch.
 
My son and I replaced my old cracked windshield over the summer. A challenge but doable. Learned alot....
Hopefully paint and condition of sill is good to go. Mine needed some touch up.

Good luck!
