    the wheels and tint(it was very light though) were a factory option....

    there was never a sunroof option, ive seen a couple of them though. But they are owner add on.

    OK!my first thought on the wheels was after mkt. the flip up roof with the way the head liner and dome light look so good, thought maybe a dealer add on. and the window tint is peeling so im not sure of anything on that.
    i've always been gm till this mess1

    RIGHT ON! so would it be fare to say, even though the interior was trashed, for $400 i might have gotten a good deal? factory buckets, floor shift auto,grabber hood and stripping, 302ci,w/headers. what do you say?:16suspect

    the grabber hood alone is worth $300-500

    floor shift,V8 and buckets are some of the most sought after options.

    Not factory


    The wheels in that pic(Dan Hines '71 Grabber) were not available until 1973. They are 14x6 5 lug aluminum slots. So, if you have those, they are not factory original to your car. Your sunroof is likely the result of someone's good work in the 80's or later when they became popular.
    I have seen a promo pic of a Comet in '71 with a sunroof, but never an
    actual car in person.

    And factory tinted glass is actually made that way, so it cant be peeled off. I may fade over the yrs but it cant peel....
