THESHAKERPROJECT super stock T Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 1,163 NORTHERN VA	I have a 71 Charger R/T sunroof car, The Challenger T/A in the pic above has a factory lookin sunroof (all were done by ASC) that has the cloth headliner with a few bows behind the sunroof. The high cost of the sunroof option in 1970 (almost $500) makes them rare today. Not all sunroofs were factory installed. Some were installed by dealers (they woud send it to a ASC instalation center) or you could get one installed yourself at a local ASC instalation center. The drain hoses (4 were used)were routed a bit differently in a non-factory install on the cars I have seen . I can tell you that the parts for a ASC sunroof are very hard to find today.

I just found a nice solid 70 challenger and it comes with a 70 challenger sunroof assembly. The car is wearing it's original black paint and I'm going to make it into a triple black sunroof t/a . Decals are on the way, and found a used exhaust and original rear spoiler, now I need a hood 5860572-ta_tx9_v1x_01.jpg (98 downloads)

I believe the 1969 sunroof cars vehicle order number started with the number 9. They also used the number 9 as the first digit to designate vehicle order numbers for aero cars. 70 Charger R/T SE 472 Hemi 70 Charger R/T convertible 70 Charger R/T V Code Sixpack 69 Charger R/T SE Sunroofcar 68 Charger 383 68 Charger 318 71 Charger R/T 70 Challenger convertible 71 Challenger convertible 71 Cuda 340 09 Challenger R/T Classic

An M if it was one of the VERY early show cars. There are some with no letter at all also, so checking the broadcast sheet for M51 is the best bet.

If everyone that used HH donated $1.00 a month I would not need a real job. I did have a 3 hour job today, that puts me at 6.5 hours so far this month. I hope it picks back up & soon. Barry

A good case in point is the AAR Cuda. Most AARs were Y16 - sales bank cars & they have the M. But, no sunroof available on any 1970 Cuda. Early show cars were built as Y16 cars that were to be sold as used cars after their intended show use was over with. In the case of early Challenger sunroof cars, the M trumped the K in the VON. Very early M cars - Y16 Sales bank / show car Later M cars - Y16 - sales bank.
