...reports have ponied up some pretty good dough to get them. I am bound by my agreement with my contact on my copy of the report. It was the only way I could get verification on some sunroof numbers. Like I said - if you are curious about some specific options - I would gladly do that. Scott.
...info onto the net. I have permission to do some look-ups and answer some forum questions from time to time. If anyone is curious about what these Options and Accessories (SG30) reports are all about - I have posted a little tutorial on my Mopar Sunroof Registry website: Production
Thanks,
Scott.
After talking about it for the last couple of years - I am finally getting it up and running. For those that have an interest in the Sunroof option - please bookmark the page and let me know what you would like to see there. It is far from finished - I will be adding content for many years...
...easily annoyed by these tiring threads (sarcasm), it would definitely be worth restoring, despite the "meh" factor. 340 cars are awesome and sunroof cars are extra cool.
As others have stated, you'd have to do a lot of the work yourself in order to not be under water. If the current owner...
Well, first I want to thank you guys for the info you supplied on the sunroof cars. As a guy that's only been here a couple days I didn't realize there were a thousand threads just like this here and that they're irritating to some. I thought this car was unusual enough to have a conversation...
B, C, and E-body cars through 1972 were M51 Power sunroof cars and did not have the code on the tag (there are a very few exceptions). Most power sunroof cars will have a special Vehicle Order Number (VON) that starts with a letter (again - there are exceptions - 1970 Challengers and 1971...
My 1970 sunroof Challenger does not have the code on the fender tag but it is on the build sheet I don't know of any sunroof cars with the code on the tag. Have a good look for another build sheet it will be hard to say it is original without it.
Interesting stuff. I haven't seen too many E-body sunroof cars in the flesh, but plenty of 72-4 b-bodies, mostly Chargers. They ALL had the sunroof code on the tag. I believe the VON will tell a tale as well. "Outside modified" cars start with a "G", if I recall.
Yes, there are instances where American Sunroof Corp would get a car from a dealership to get the sunroof installed - usually at a customers expense. A good example of this is Jerry Juenemann's 1970 Dodge Daytona. One of 3 Chargers that got the Daytona "package" installed at the dealership. That...
Other than the sunroof & power windows, it's pretty run of the mill. No rallye gauges or disk brakes? Meh.
As previously stated, the bulge hood, 15" wheels, 26" radiator and bumble bee stripe were all standard with a 340.
The sunroof was installed away from the plant. The ASC workers just hacked a hole in the roof of the standard hardtops - so no special prep from the factory was required. This is why the vinyl top was required - so any scratches and imperfections from the sunroof install would have to be fixed -...
I'm surprised the sunroof code isn't on the tag. Usually things directly related to the assembly of the chassis/metal body were on the tag and the rest was on the sheet.
...early decals but I doubt if this guy will restore it. He thinks it'll be fun to just drive it like it is. :rolleyes: I drove it with the sunroof closed and the windows stuck up on a hot day - it didn't seem that fun to me . . . .:eek: I'm trying to get him to pull the carpet out and look...
...note that this is the "SCHEDULED" build date and not necessarily the actual build date of the car - but they usually are pretty close.
The sunroof tools can be found for a lot less than that. I have not studied my project sunroof car close enough to see if there is a more modern tool that...
