I am looking for another entire roof with a sunroof, a sunroof assembly or any sunroof parts for a C Body.
 
Are the E body parts different than the C body parts?

Were they installed by the same company?

I would think most of the parts would be the same with the exception of the panel itself. It's likely smaller to fit the smaller roof. Formals had smaller opening panels than fuselages. They were all installed by the same company, ASC, American sunroof company.
 
I know a guy with some parts is why I ask.
I'll ask him if he is ready to come off the parts.
 
ASC had their paws in lots of other ventures with Chrysler. They did the 1991-93 Shadow convertible conversion for example in Toluca Mexico.
When they were done with that project, I ended up buying a mountain of parts they were dumping. If I had bought all of it that would have filled
50 tractor trailers.

Here is one item Mopar part #5241308

TRUNK LID GAS STRUT W390X03185CXXX SOP

I have 94 of them in the original box from the vendor. Lots of the parts were in the vendor boxes with the company name on it.

this notation: W390X03185CXXX SOP means that the number stamped on the part is W390X03185CXXX ...that is the ASC part #

Check out this ASC article:

ASC, American Sunroof Corporation, ASC Custom Craft, Heinz C. Prechter, ASC Holdings, American Specialty Cars, ASC/McLaren - Coachbult.com

There has been a few complete roof assemblies for sale in the past years, but they are rare. It's easier to find a well-kept c-body with a sunroof than a donor roof. Or at least I assume that you're going to install a sunroof to a car that doesn't already have it. Am I correct?

Generally speaking, the sunroof parts are pretty much the same on every sunroof car made in the 70's by the ASC. Including Mercury Cougars from the late 60's to early 70's, Cadillac's of the time and of course the mighty Mopars with holes on their roofs. Just to name a few.

So the parts are out there, but the hunt may take a while. I would turn my sight to 70's Cadillac's for a complete roof assembly...
