Just had someone ask if I had my windshield polished - in the 84. Couldn't believe how clear and unpitted the glass is, but it was just replaced with the 91-93 style window four years ago. It cost me $200 on a Saturday with an inspection deadline Monday, and I was happy to toss the old trim in the dumpster. I've heard prices as low as $125.
Option before letting it go to deadline was junkyard glass. I kept checking them out in the yard looking for a decent one after reading extensively about the swap process. Big part of the debate was butyl or urethane, and how to do certain stuff without a helper- though that is not a problem at your house. If you decide to do it, I'll mail you my unused clip kit.
