The Dodge Viper is also a possible.

If you ran a center post,you might cut the center out of the windshield,bring the sides together to form the 2-pc screen at 40".
The tilt angle of these windshields would require consideration.
Two Corbin windshields,side by side might get close to 40".They're DOT certified.

Laminated safety glass has been available in flat panes.As a last ditch effort,you could do as Kamm and Carl Breer did,creating a panoramic windscreen of segmented panes.
Bob Parsons would double-score the glass on the cut line,then momentarily ignite lighter fluid applied to the score to heat and soften the adhesive bond before snapping.He got very good results.
Our 'best' cut-down artist in the area has only a 33% success rate altering compound -curve windshields.

There are a few Viper windshields on car-part.com, with the lowest being $186, and allegedly new, although I do not have any idea how much shipping would be. There is one for $375 and two for $750 each, in "A" condition.

Yes, cutting the center out was exactly my thought 33% is not very good, even for a limited production

Another option from another forum

My apologize for butting in . Found your thread. just real quick, we make one off glass windshields here we use bucks for molds or the original glass off vehicle. these are laminated safety windows that meet all safety laws and are DOT approved for street use.
Any body interested pm me. Thanks again Tony

Personally, I think that this car and the next contributed far more to the world than its critics have.
