1973 Duster & Dart Sport 340 SUNROOF cars

Thanks Mike. Yeah, I saw that he has not been on here in a while. I think I read in one of his posts somewhere that he ended up selling his car, and therefore he likely has lost interest in maintaining the 340 sunroof A-body registry that he took care of. I wish I could contact him to see if he would be willing to pass on his registry to supplement the Mopar Sunroof Registry that I have started. Do the moderators have access to members emails? If so, any chance you could drop him a message and let him know I would like to reach out to him and see if he is willing to pass on his registry info? Thanks in advance!

We don't have access to members e mails. It would be a good idea if you would start a new thread about the registry and have the interested members contact you through a Personal Message to get your e-mail address. Posting it directly on the sire isn't a good idea for your internet security.

Thanks Mike - no worries - its the registry email that is posted to the world on the Mopar Sunroof Registry website.

Good to know. I would still start a thread in Body and trim or Mopar General forum. I can make it a sticky so it stays at the top of the listing.

I have been looking for one like this to restore. Just passed on one that had the ENTIRE roof rusted out. But if you come across one like this for sale, ping me.....[/QUOTE

My name is Rex, I have a b5 Blue 73 duster 340 4 speed with sunroof . I am actually looking for all the parts I have the top skin of the sunroof only..

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get together a data base/archive of all 1973 sunroof 340 A-body cars that still exist. Please send me the fender tag data or a good description of the car with it's options. If you have a fender tag of one that was parted out or a friend who has one please send that info also.

Later on when I have enough info I may have a website with general info and pics of various cars. No personal info will be used in any way only general info on the cars. Please post, PM

TIA :salute:

Very cool car Lonnie! The R in the vehicle order number (R52429) along with the Y28 (I assume you found a buildsheet) means that this was a Public Relations car. So it was ordered up to do some sort of duty before it was sent off to a dealership for eventual sale. These public relation duties could range from the car being in a commercial, to a photoshoot for a magazine ad, maybe it was slated to be in a major auto show, or it could have been designated to participate in a big cities' parade with a hot girl standing up through the sunroof opening. Hard to say what it got to do early in its life, but regardless, its a good looking car! Congrats!

Hey Rex, I don't think MY340 is participating in this forum anymore. I think he sold his 340 sunroof car and has moved along. Sounds like you have a pretty cool one yourself with the 4-speed and great color. Sunroof parts are tough to come by, but they are out there. Best thing to do is a parts wanted post on this forum and any other mopar forum that is A body related. There is also a Facebook group called: Mopar A body sunroof cars. I would post on a few of the Facebook A Body pages also. Good luck!
