1973-1974 B Body Manual Sunroof Production by Scott Rudge – [email protected]

The 1973 and 1974 manual sunroof B-bodies were quite a bit more plentiful than their power sunroof predecessors. American Sunroof Corp produced a manual sunroof kit that could install right on the assembly line, instead of pulling the off the line into a side room. With the sunroof installation streamlined and the change to manual operation, the price of the sunroof option was essentially cut in half. This made the manual sunroof a more attractive option for the customer.

*** With TOTAL 1974 Charger production around half of the 1973 cars, the sunroof numbers likely followed suit. I ran across one reference in a Charger forum that said about 655 total sunroof Chargers were built in 1974. That's between a quarter and a fifth of the 73 sunroof production, which might not be too far off given the Gen 3s were in their last year. ***
