Did any Thirdgens come with a moonroof?

I've seen one personally and maybe a few around the internet. Did any come stock like this?

I think it was a dealer option, meaning that its not from GM, but it did come like that when you bought the car new.

my 91z28 had a moon roof but was not a factory option. i have the original paperwork from the dealer and it doesn't say anything about sunroof. but i did see a car once that had aftermarket t tops.

There was no moonroof / sunroof option ever offered for a thirdgen. It was an aftermarket item.

I knew a kid( wish I didnt though ) that took a saw zaw to his roof, and cut out a hole, and put in a pop out sunroof looked like total crap, and it leaked really bad the car looked like total crap anyways, but it did have a nice 383 in it

Look in the yellow pages for places that install moonroofs or call a car dealer and ask them where they send their new cars to have this installed. They should be able to get you the right weather stripping.

I say this because I bought a '99 monte carlo when it was a year old from the dealer. The wife had seen these cars with moonroofs around town. When I asked the dealer if he had any cars with moonroofs he said that they did'nt come from the factory like that but it was a dealer option. They would then send the car to a glass shop or specialty shop to have the roof installed. Manual or electric were options.

I've seen a '67 Camaro (or what was left of it) with a moon roof too. And I'm pretty sure it didn't leave the factory like that.
