Hey everyone,

I found a 1971 Roadrunner that I'm working out a deal on and I was searching the net for some parts, parts cars and cars for other people and I came across this little jem.

The add says it has a 318 in it but its a 340 very cook in itself and then the add says SUNROOF!!!!!! I'm thinking okay it can't be factory but I will check it out any ways and sure enough it is a sunroof and it looks factory but.......I'm not sure if it is or not and I'm going to get the codes for it.

Tell me how rare is this, is it factory and what was the roof called?

I think it was called moon roof or something and if my old brain would kick in I have seen this on another car that was in a magazine a few years back and it was a Demon as well and it was an orange car with I think hounds tooth interior, but I can't remember 100% for sure.

Well any ways your tired of me talking so here is the car.

So tell me what you think about it and factory or not factory rare or not rare...........:happy1:
 
Could be factory. Fender tag would tell you.

Rare option and desirable, if factory installed, especially on a 340 car.
 
I dont think chrysler ever used rag top sunroofs. I believe they only used the inbuilt type sunroofs. Which were made by the American Sunroof Company (same as Cadilacs and few others).
 
Ever since I seen my first one I started learning more and more on them. I've only seen a hand full of them.

Yeah when I saw it my mouth dropped. I'm just wondering how much rust is in the car. I think the tail panel looks like it will need repaired. The drivers quarter may be able to be fixed. I'm going to ask for more pics and then find someone in the area to look at it for me.

Fendertag should have a V3 on it.

I thought it was, I saw it and I couldnt believe it I mean I sat there for like 15 minutes just looking at it.

I couldnt remember the name of the top, I dont know why I thought moon roof buy yet convertable top!!! VERY AWESOME!!!

The bad part is I'm not near it I dont think, I have to call and ask. I also just signed up for a class and I tied my money up in that and I'm working out a deal on a 71 Roadrunner.

I may just go to the bank on this one and then try to flip it or something...I dont know I really dont know lol

No I think this is the real deal. I have seen one other one like this and it was in MOPAR Collectors Guide a few years back like ten years ago I think.

I am going to get the fender tag on it and see what happens. I do think this is factory and not aftermarket.

I just have this deal on a 71 Roadrunner with all the metal work being done on it full price of car and work done to it $4600. I also just used some of my car money for school :banghead: and then I find this little jem.
 
They are a love em or hate em thing I'd love to own a Demon with the sun roof option.
 
Wow thanks everyone for the posting I'm trying to read them all and get caught up. I have only see one and if you have seen a handfull I wonder how many made and how to tell if its one of one or one of how many.
 
You better grab that one. Not too many produced with that option.
 
Man I really want one of those. If you don't buy it PLEASE pass on the info so another FABO can buy it. Post the fender tag info if you get it.
 
Okay guys, I just called and I must have talked to the wife. I asked "I'm calling about the Dodge Demon" and she said "What dodge? I don't know what car." and then I kept talking and I said the year of the car "Oh ok let me call him and have him give you a call back as he just left the house for a few minutes."

So as soon as I get the info I'm going to post it up and if I can or can't get the car I will be going down the list of those that want info on it. I will start with the first pm I got on it after my first post of the car last night.

I couldn't sleep last night thinking about this car.

The guy had trouble reading fender tag and is going to email it to me tonight along with the build sheet. He said the build sheet matches car and says sunroof.
 
So if your not able to buy it, post up price on the Demon. Someone will definitely buy it if the price is right.... Your in Harrisonburg, VA so the car must be near there.... That's close enough for me depending on the price the guy is asking for it.
