Just a quick one, going to have a peek at a 71 super bug and the seller says it has a factory sun roof.
Did they and what kind were they? sliding or rag etc.
also
does the super have struts or beam?

Cheers
Hurry up and wait

its possible its factory, they were metal sliding sunroofs since the mid 60s when the rags were dropped but they arent real common in aus

give the seller a good slap if its nothing more than a kmart pop up sunroof though

supers are strut too

Golde stopped '67, it'll be a Britax or popup moon roof most likely.

Golde were stopped in May 1966 ( in Australia ) as per the parts manual earlier in other countries

I had a client with a '67 rag. Maybe it was a cut & shut but I didn't think so.....

I bet you it's one of those sardine can jobbies. Take a pic when you have a look so we can work it out.
