Not sure about 73 Duster 340s, but I have a 74 Duster360. Once upon a time I thought I had gotten numbers on the 74's . . . was something like 3,000 made with 360 & sunroof ??? But who knows . . . My car is FE5 Rallye Red, V21 Hood black out treatment, sunroof, fold down rear seat, console auto with buckets . . . have only seen 4 other Dusters with the hood treatment . . . never say never with Mopar !!!
Cheers

I think you can use the 2% option rule on 1973 A-body 340 sunroof cars and come pretty close to how many were produced.
Most people never knew they made them when I had mine at car cruises and shows. They thought I added it.
Post the fender tag if you don't mind as I'm curious about other options on the car. Mine had sunroof/fold down rear seat/4-spd/manual steering & am/fm radio among the options.

I used to think that the sunroof cars were rare. I owned a 76 Dart Sport with one. My bro in law had a 73 Dart Sport with one as well. BOTH were 318 cars. My guess is that this car in question is certainly desireable enough to warrant a decent restoration. Have fun with it!

My neighbor had two Convertriples. 73 Dart Sports, 340, sunroof, 4 speeds, fold-down rear seats. Very cool cars. I imagine the Dusters had the same option code.

Good luck finding a decent cardboard headliner for that car.

I had to use the non correct plastic headliner for the two I restored.

Regarding the headliner:
I bought a 73 Dart Sport that needed almost everything. The cardboard headliner was way too warped to leave in place, and it cracked apart during removal. I had to install the replacement, scribe around the opening then remove it to cut out the hole. I used the cutout for the sunroof plug and held it in place with plastic button fasteners. The car wasn't a 100 point restoration, so the deviation from stock wasn't a big deal.

What is the fender tag code for a '73 Duster with a sunroof?
