That is definitely a factory job.  Your car is really very solid!

Thanks for the info!

I was under the impression that they never put the sunroof on the fender tag as it wasn't installed in house but shipped out for the sunroof install. :dunno:

Would someone please buy this car so I can stop being tempted to send money to Alberta?

It doesn't get much better than this for a '71 and what an awesome driver it could be (stroked B-motor, air cranking, all the toys)

This is true.  Some cars had a stamp added next to the order number to mark them to be sent out for a sunroof.

Do you have a picture of the extra mark on the fender tag?

The switch will be 21,000.00 and the car comes free when you buy the switch. NO Im not interested in selling any parts off the car.

I probably have an extra switch and the odd other sunroof part if anyone needs them - working next door to ASC had its advantages at one point....

I cant believe I have had no interest in my car. So I will be starting on it very soon. In saying that I have offered this car to the world, so now I sure don't want to hear any whining from the purists went I change a bunch of things on it. LOL

I wouldn't say you people did not have any interest, maybe people were not willing to pay $10,000 for a sun roof option.  I would love to have the car, but I do not want to pay that much extra for a sun roof.  It's your car, restore or do as you wish.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Not just the cash price because for that price it came with a lot of new parts, I could lower the price if I kept all the parts. But I was talking about that I would have even traded for 71 318 bare bones Challenger as long as it wasnt a rust bucket. But no one was willing to a trade for that either. Not really sure of that. I know the price might be a little high for some but thats what I paid for it when I bought it. Then I bought a bunch of parts for it that would have gone with the car for that price. But what ever. Im just working on a other 71 Challenger for my wife and when that one is done I will start on the loaded one. I have it listed locally and will be removing that ad too very soon.

Here's a chance to see what a restored 1970 sunroof Challenger will go for....

ebay 130804950942

I know it's a 1970, but should give you a close idea what yours is worth when restored.  Your is a 383 (better than the 318) but I think more people like the 70 model year grille.  Either way should be pretty close in value comparing restored car to restored car.  Both are B5 too.
