I stopped and looked at a 1979 Grand Prix with a factory power moon roof.... is this rare or is this a somewhat common feature on the GP's. The car seems quite overpriced other than that. Any input is appreciated.

Moonroof, sunroof, tomato, tomoto...

They are actually quite rare, and there are usually fewer sunroof cars than t-top cars.

The reason behind this is that t-tops were an $850 option, while the power sunroof was over $1100...

i would think they are rare.
haven't seen many in any year.
my first and only other GP, an 87, had one.
i didn't know at time how uncommon they were or i would've kept it.
then again this was 16yrs ago. :cry:

This same car has chrome wire wheels.w/ Pontiac center caps on them(true wire wheels not hubcaps), does anybody know if these might be a factory option?

I think their pretty rare as Ive only seen a handful on Ebay etc and they aren't making them anymore. Id like to have one to go with my T-top car.

Looks like it was only a G/A body option!

Thanks for the input, the asking price is more than I'm willing to go after with the amount of work involved. If I get over that way soon I will post some pics and description of the vehicle on the site here. Maybe someone else may be interested?
