but i think i have one that is extremely rare
at car shows no one says theyve seen one before
ive never found another on the internet
the only other one ive seen is in a magizine
its a 1973 nova custom 350
it has a vinyl roof
2dr
AND a moonroof straight from the factory
no one believes it but it is
estimated price?

In 73 you did not need a sky roof to have what is called a custom nova in fact their was the custom hatchback coupe,custom nova 4 door sedan and and coustom coupes

i know that, what i was asking is if all the skyroofs were customs
as in all of the 3200 skyroofs were part of the 50000 customs made in 73
but the answer is no, they are regular novas, customs, and rally novas, and i think ss novas. have yet to see a pic of a custom with one like mine
