...is the one with the valve clearance problem perhaps the cam is too big? I just want to build a very standard 340 to put in my 1970 Challenger sunroof car it will never be raced just want a bit more muscle then the matching #'s 318 which I will preserve so the car can be put back to original...
Updated the 1970 sunroof Challenger pamphlet at the beginning of this thread for the car that was for sale on Craigslist in Gilbert, AZ in February.

Hey wmann, I have your car listed on the first page of the 1971 cars - the one without a picture - K6-Dark Bronze/340/4spd. Would you like to add a pic of your car to the 1971 pamphlet of sunroof cars?
Thanks, Scott.
Just a quick note for anyone with a factory sunroof if you need a new switch they are the same as BMW power window switches fitted to cars of the same era and are currently being remade by Bosch the OEM supplier I have the part # somewhere PM me if you need it.
There is a photo of a T/A with a sunroof in the E body sunroof cars thread started by sdweatherman on this site and most of the sunroof cars have power windows. There are some options not available but power windows and column shift are not on that list so they could be out there.
...in Australia. I hope you are able to get that car out once in awhile to some local/regional shows. Yes, about 99% of the early Mopar power sunroof cars did not have the option code on the fender tag. Most cars did have a special VON on the fender tag that indicates it as a sunroof car, but I...
Hi Scott the 1970 B5 blue sunroof Challenger is now in Western Australia I bought it about 2 years ago found it on carsonline.com the seller also had it listed on Ebay but ended the auction when I enquired about it. Highly optioned with power windows, power steering, cruise control, power disc...
Bump - Finished up the 1970 Challengers that I have run across so far. I will update these pamphlets periodically as more sunroof cars come to light. If you would like to add a sunroof Challenger/Barracuda that is not posted here - just send me a PM and we will get'er done.
Thanks,
Scott.
That is where I get confused. The original is a JH23 but he tells me when he bought it he received a letter from the state saying he had to have it inspected. The State of Illinois inspected it and put a new vin tag on the door jam. This vin is different it is a JH29. The strange part is the...
It's a cool option. Very heavy though. The factory recomended more tire pressure with a sunroof car. I have one to be put back together. When the sunroof rusted the car had a hardtop put on it. When I bought it, I got the original roof with the car. I since, have gathered most of the parts...
All,
Been gathering information on early power sunroof Mopars ever since I liberated a 1971 sunroof Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus from a salvage yard in 2012. Here are the 1970 through 1972 Challengers that I have run across so far, along with the one year only 1972 Barracudas - just follow...
Usually, the M51 or M52 is not listed on the fender tag.
It typically takes the build sheet to have actual proof that it was an original sunroof car.
Keep looking, they are hard to find. Cuda's came with sunroof's in 72 only, that's what I have been looking for.
Without the fender tag or build sheet, there is no way of telling for sure if it came with the sunroof originally.
It does hurt the value to an investor. That being said, if you like the car and that's what you want, go for it.
Not having a fender tag dosent bother me since I like to add better...
...of options, with very few parts missing. Vehicle was running before being disassembled. I'll be posting pics, is there anything specific I can look for to ensure that it's a real sunroof car, and I would like an honest opinion regarding both as an investment and I do want a sunroof challenger
