One of None R/T more to the story Pics & Numbers

[69_500]

I had 2 origional copies of that, and I sold one to moparjohn, and I think that my other copy of it is laying around here somewhere. Very interesting stuff in that bulliten though.

Those will be replaced soon with better quality scans. Most of the other 1969 Dodge TSBs will be available at the same time thanks to Hemigeno. 

[OneofNoneRT]

Thanks Alaskan..That is very interesting reading.. Mine is identical except the manual crank assembly.. Still confused on how it came to be.. I know the guy I bought it from didnt do it and he had it a few years.. maybe someone worked at ASC had the car??  I use to have the original warranty card ..I have begun searching for it..I put it in a safe place?? Anyway. I think he lived in Troy Mich.. If I can find that again about the 68 dart I will post a link.. It had no pictures it was an article..

Adding a sunroof from a later model is fairly easy. I did it myself once and I may do it again. At some point someone added a newer sunroof to the car, it happened.

Still very cool and part of the car's history. I would deffinately leave it if I were you.

    Always glad to help out...

Along a related note, did the hi-res scans of the Rinshed-Mason TSB come through OK?  Hopefully that leaves only 1 "missing" TSB from the binder that we know of.

OneofNone, I took maybe a dozen pictures of an original sunroof frame from a '69 Charger (with no headliner installed) about two weeks ago.  If you'd like I can post them - perhaps they would be helpful for comparision?

Here's a pic of the sunroof frame I installed in my Daytona clone.  It's an original from a 1970 Dodge Charger...

[OneofNoneRT]

That would be great.. i would appreciate any info.. Thanks..

[OneofNoneRT]

As far as removin it if It was determined that it wasnt factory.. That would be crazy ..I will just get with "UFO" and get me one of them special cop fender tags..Right..

[DodgeChargerNeeded]

Who cares what anybody says about your car. I think it is very cool with a sunroof even if it isn't factory. If you like it thats all that counts. Screw the numbers guys, no offense to anyone here.

[Charger_Fan]

Here's some '70 sunroof info on the Registry that may be interesting; http://1970chargerregistry.com/Sunroof/Sunroof.html

Wouldn't it be cool if it was specially made for some big-whig back in '68? Sorta like the couple convertible K-cars Iacocca had made in '81-'82 before they made production convertibles?
Sure would be cool to get to the bottom of this story, regardless of whether or not it's a Ma Mopar job or not. Cool car!!

Has anyone here with a sunroof tried contacting ASC to see if they kept any records??.. You would think from a liability aspect they would have kept records at least for a few years..

ASC (America Sunroof) has changed a bit the last few years with the death of its founder and subsiquent purchase.  ASC now stands for American Specialty Cars.  They are still based in Southgate, MI.  I worked there for a couple months many, many years ago.  It is very possible an employee had the sunroof installed, but you would never be able to find proof of it unless you find the original owner. Here is the number I found... (734) 285-4911... You never know...?

[OneofNoneRT]

Thanks..Rallye..I contacted the number.. I have been talking with a variety of people there.. They are trying but no luck yet. As soon as they find out what I got they say " you should talk to..."   If anyone is looking for sunroof parts .. They said to contact Kellys sunroof @ # 888-298-8140..If I find out anything useful I will post for all..

Hi,
I was out to a couple of junkyards over the past weekend and took the measurements off of two vehicles that were equipped with factory installed sunroofs, both manually operated.

The first was a Hang Ten Dart: 20" x 35.5"
The second was a "Cordoba" Charger SE: 20" x 41"

I'm wondering what size the sunroof is in your Charger?

[OneofNoneRT]

 Mine is 19.5 X 39.25 interesting is it is 8.75 from the front windshield..farther forward then any electric..

[Magnumcharger]

19.5 X 39.25....very interesting!
I wonder how that compares in size to an electric sunroof of the 68-70 vintage?

[Alaskan_TA]

The 1973 up B-Body crank sunroof cassettes are 20 X 39.75

Since this one does not match any known Mopar sunroof sizes, it could be one of the ones ASC made for for Mercury or another brand maybe?

Any Ford guys here with a sunroof?

Does anyone have the measurements for the Volkswagen Bug sunroof while we are at it? I would think that they were the smallest of all.

[Magnumcharger]

Barry, you might be correct with your assumption about the Volkswagen Beetle having the smallest sunroof of all.
But, I'm sure the convex design of the VW's exterior roof panel would preclude it's potential future usage as a donor for most, if not all designs of Mopars.

Hi all! does anybody have the measurment of the original size of the 68-70 sunroof??
Would be cool if i cold find a car with similar size and curvature, to integreate in my 68

Funny how you should ask this....seeing as how I've been asking this exact same question over and over again.......

The Secret Sunroof Society will not divulge that information. They must maintain the limited number of sunroof cars. 

J/K- Someone will eventually let you in on the secret.
