Seems you could order most anything back then. That's probably the only way you could get a sunroof car with no vinyl top. I've yet to find a 71 or 72 built that way.

There ya go, have it your way! Hold the pickles hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us. . (oops slipped into the seventies commercial. .wrong commercial too).

Build it like you think it should be, or the way you want it, and keep on researching. I found a good build sheet decoder (posted on the Serious Satty website in the Missing Links), and it's answering a lot of questions about the Satty I bought. And am restifiying (sort of) my own way. It may be a g.m. attitude, make it your own, but what the heck. It's my car now. . . :beer: :beer:

P.S. The 73 RR body I found in a junkyard down near Middletown, Ohio, was a B5 blue sunroof car without vinyl top. It's about the only thing left on the car, but that much I do remember.

i decoded the build sheet and thats what makes it so confusing. the box for vinyl roof was empty and the roof paint code was KB5, same as the body.
