My friend bought a a loaded 68 400 Firebird and it has this sunroof.
Has anyone seen them before?

Looks like the same roof used on the Buick "Sun coupe"

Could be an aftermarket Webasto sunroof. They're a UK company and that style was more commonly seen on European cars but I suppose they could have been installed on US cars back in the day as well. They're still available today: http://www.tudorwebastosunroofs.com

I remember seeing a factory ad with a 1972 Buick GS having that same sun roof.

Here it is in the factory brochure: http://oldcarbrochures.org/United%20...ige-06-07.html

Good job Stuart!

That sure looks like the same roof.
Were some Firebirds sold in Europe?

The "Sun Coupe's" were sold in the U.S. I used to work on one back in the day, a 72 350 4BBL Red body , white top and interior. Beautiful car, remember it well.

I would think that the tops were installed outside of the factory like an SSJ moonroof, but not positive about that.

I saw a 77-79 camaro with one at a show. Novas had them too

Here it's in a 72 Pontiac brochure

I know someone who has one that looks just like that on 70's Nova. It is listed on the build sheet.
