Do glass shops not offer clear windshields for 68-70 Charger or B-body?

I just had my front windshield and rear window installed on my 70 Charger RT here at my house and I noticed that the windshield seemed to have a little to much tint. I am not talking about near the top where the sunshade tint is but the whole glass seems to have a darker tint to it rather than clear.
I asked the manager about this and he tells me that they dont sell clear glass for these old cars and he has not seen any in a number of years.....is this true that all aftermarket windshield glass will be tinted all over?  Something doesnt seem quite right.

being an autoglass comp owner ....i can tell you if you look hard enough you can find most anything problem is our distributors dont wanna do much of the hunting for these old cars so most glass shops will just get what they can get and use that ...... 9 out of 10 people much rather have the shade on the top and slight tint thruout  rather than a totally clear windshield due in fact it blocks  the sun better keeps car cooler and helps with night glare from on coming headlights on the other end some of us restorers want to put the car back exactly the way it was factory so it makes  it tuffer for us to find the right tint of glass

Alright. Then at least what he is telling me is pretty much true in that the clear glass with tint at the top is difficult to find and get. I never did want totally clear just with the tint only at the top.
