Oh man that sounds tantalizingly good, but I still have memories of the first (and last) time I chased an great sounding ad with no pics. It was ugly (the car, and the meeting).
How does he know 30 cars left with a factory Sunroof......? That is an IMPOSSIBLE to know answer.....

This PDF document gives appr. 205 Imperials, I have no idea how well it was researched but it's a Mopar Club Website.

Telford is right off the blue route.
I've emailed this guy a few times. His mission is documenting sunroof installations. Heart's in the right place, freely indicates his numbers are estimates and doesn't seem to have access to all of the right info. Sunroof cars aren't common is the bottom line. So whatever number he or anyone else besides me, comes up with, will not only be small, but also a guesstimate.
My experience hasn't been good ever chasing a car with no posted pictures.

Yes, these numbers are very preliminary estimates based on what I have scrounged up on the web, and from the very very few cars I have been able to run across on the web. I have a working theory on production numbers for several makes and models of early sunroof mopars, but it requires hunting down fender tag info - especially early model year and late model year cars. To date - the sunroof C-bodies are the toughest one to estimate because there is just not a lot of them posted on the web. I live in SD, so getting to the big cars shows where they might show up is not going to happen until I hit retirement. So I depend on corresponding with sunroof owners through the various Mopar forums for the little information that I have been able to find.
I posted this same pdf document on C Bodies only under the fuselage forum - where most of my research has been so far. Here is the link:

Thanks kmccabe56 for the help you have provided so far.

I don't know that I have ever seen or heard of one of those Imperials actually equipped with the ABS brake system. Certainly ahead of its time back then, but trying to get it to work today would be futile, as there would unlikely be any parts available anymore. There are a lot of big vacuum tanks and controllers tucked in various areas around the engine compartment.

I looked at a 73 Imp locally....was buried in a barn, and would require dismantling part of the barn to get it out. It was a factory sunroof car, with ABS etc....They wanted way too much money for this thing. Took a bunch of pics though....;)

thrashingcows - Thanks for posting the pics! I ran across a post on this car somewhere - probably by you - but I don't think there was one of the fender tag. Awesome!
thats beyond cool thrashingcows!! All that and its even an odd color for an Imperial!
