i meant those electric sliding roof not targa

the sunroof? its nowhere near as common as the lame-o targa top cars, but i can't comment on exactly how rare they are. im not sure if they or the hard tops are rarer but id probably wager there were fewer factory sunroof cars made.

somewhere on SM there might be actual production numbers. i believe there were aprox 240, 000 mk3's made but as to the number of sunroof equipped cars i can't say.

electric sliding roof is rare. i believe those were 91-92 only, which are the most rare years too. well, aside from the 93, but those werent imported.

a lot of the sunroofs (non elec slide) were dealer installed options.

im sure jeff will be in here to correct me if im wrong. and im sure someone will have to comment about moonroof vs sunroof lol.

i think its a nice feature for a cruising car. you get most of the benifits of the targa without needing to pull the majority of your roof off.

as much as i make fun of targa cars, i would not mind owning one myself if my car was a daily driver / cruising car. My current supra will eventually be mostly seeing track time so id rather roll hard top :D

my suggestion is poke around in the reference/techtips section. thats where i found the total production numbers. if not, hopefully someone with a better idea will chime in :)

either that or just scour the internet and such until you find a mk3 in good shape with a sunroof, since i assume you are looking to buy one in the future :D

I think you are wrong on the years... my '88 Turbo has an ASC electric sliding roof (moonroof). The sticker says it was installed in Oct of '87 too.

Only 91-92 cars had a factory sunroof. The ASC power roof was a dealer installed option for 87-88 cars. They didn't do such a great job on them either, I had one and the wiring is pretty poor quality.

Sunroofs are the best. when open, it gives the car certain stance which is awesome. 91 - 92 cars with Sunroof is quite rare ... Im picking up one this weekend exactly for this feature... lol
