Had a 76 Grand Fury that was loaded and had a sun roof. It was a retired California CHP car with twin spot lights. Was funny that it had power windows and door locks and split bench seat. Power trunk release. AM-FM Cassette too.
I had a J body Mirada that also had a sun roof. It did not work.

Guaranteed to leak within the first five years.
Dave, your '76 GRAN Fury was a C Body though. My guess would be someone added the sunroof post-retirement. I didn't think CHP had '76 Gran Furys.

Alignment issues ? Bad seals ? Install was done third party and was sloppily done in a lot of instances. As said, there is absolutely no collector value to be had in the car, well optioned or not. If you want one, just find a clean car with color you want. Have a sun/moon roof put in aftermarket. There are a couple of extremely clean cars for sale on fmjo. Darth Car comes to mind. Black on red. https://www.forfmjbodiesonly.com/classicmopar/threads/darth-car-needs-a-new-home.7824/

Doc, Depending on make and model, they can be quite rare. But as previous posters have said, not going to be terribly valuable. I have a few production numbers for sunroof cars through 1980, and its hit and miss through the 80s. But if you want a car that no one else has, they are a good choice and make for good conversation. The only draw back is parts if it is not in operating condition, or breaks after you get it. I have a few contacts that might be able to chase down parts, but sometimes it take a great deal of time to get them found. I have set up a website for Mopar Sunroof Cars, but I have not gotten to the later 70s cars yet. But feel free to check it out sometime. Good luck with your search!

Oh Doc, you're so silly. Mine is worth much more to me than I'd ever get for it. I'd disagree a little with MarkM....I believe there's some collector value to the AHB (Police Package) cars. There's a few of us out here. The extra welds, larger front sway bar, rear anti sway bar, bigger rear end, coolers, HD parts throughout, etc. This one has always been 100% rust free. I think they make the perfect size, ride and handling four door. I like four door cars too. Now with a beasty 410 c.i.d. engine, 727, sure grip 3.21, and some other hidden upgrades, it's perfect IMO. Again, I've got slip showing engine dyno of 469hp and 528tq. Pretty good for four door totally streetable sedan that can be daily driven, handles great, and is super comfy. '69 Polara 440's they are not, I realize. But I like the M's looks more. BUT, And I've got $10k in just the engine.It adds up quick. Selling it would make me silly

Yes they had them as an option and pretty rare. Not any valuable rare just more unique rare. Done by ASC like so many other cars with them as a factory option back then. What percentage of production ? 5% ?? ... I’d like to find a white car ... with red velore seats Dunno.. Maybe 5-10%? I've seen far far more without then with. Mine is white with red... and a thermoquad 360

Seemed like every 5th Avenue sold up here had sunroof in it. Recall seeing tons in the wrecking yards. That being said - Where did they all go ??? I had a 1980 Plymouth Caravelle (only sold in Canada), 2dr, 318, loaded . . .that was a great driving car - not a fast car, but comfy and decent (22mpg) mileage on highway . . . and what about all the Dodge Diplomats??? Seemed like those were the fleet and cop cars . . . did I fall asleep and suddenly these are all gone ??? . . . . Always thought they looked awesome as 2dr with these wheels . . . . The CRUSHER LAW bought sooooo many good hotrods.

They don't get the love they deserve simply because they have not been experienced I would guess. Not fast cars, just super nice comfortable V8 (if you want) RWD cruisers. The 4 barrel police cars with 2.94 gears were very durable and plenty of power. No, not 5.7 Charger fast, but really, that's not needed in today's environment. It's just a bonus.
