Production Number Question

[hemihead]

My buddy has a 71 300 2 dr. with a Console and Sunroof . I was wondering if any of you C body guys have any idea how rare it is ? Thanks

 

[detmatt]

Very rare, any pics?

Factory sunroof or someone with a Sawzall which was a very common thing to do in '71.
WAS there a factory sunroof?????

 

[Fratzog]

Yes there was.

 

[Big_John]

Could have been made at the sunroof factory.

Of course there was...

Now see..... a man with proof of conversation .........nice.

There is a thread on the Drydock by someone who is documenting sunroof C bodies... he has some numbers..

Yes, that's what I'm talking about;

Not one of these DIY'ers:

 

[polara71]

those werent too common in 71

 

[commando1]

The J.C Whiney flip-ups? Bull.
Every street corner had a shop that installed vinyl tops and sunroofs in the early seventies.

 

[polara71]

More like the mid 70's.... not in 71. Not saying they werent around, not as common as you think. Your time frame is diluted from years

 

[commando1]

I was there, Dave. You weren't.
I remember it well....
Please give me this one.

 

[polara71]

I was there too, I am older than you remember..... see what I mean?

 

[commando1]

You were six years old fer cripe's sakes. I was helping a frriend in his own shop in 1971.
You are WRONG, sir............

 

[polara71]

:laughing4: .......... I was five in 71... The sunroof craze came in with disco and conversion vans BUT I really dont care one way or the other. Certainly not as much as police pursuit engines.

You can be right on this one if it means that much to you..............:cheers2:

Without seeing the specific car in question I'd call this a tie.

I agree, this is the sort of proof I'd be looking for as to weather an option existed.

On the other hand a 1971 could have had a sunroof cut into it anytime during the 42 years even the 80's

 

[polara71]

The option definitely existed, the Drydock link has some nice information.

The only question is was it original to the car.... I'd bet a paycheck, yes.
