Factory sliding sunroof? 120-130

Hey, a guy on IPD is parting a 122 wagon with a "factory sliding sunroof" that he is willing to cut out. My question: did these actually ever exist. The only cars I have seen with such a thing have been VWs, but even retrofitting one of these things would be a fun project for my lowrider... can it be done?...
Thanks,
Josh

    I found this place on the net. I was looking for a roof for my 67 coupe. I think I am going to order from this place and install it this summer, should be nice once it's done.

    Also a handy alternative to replacing a headliner! ha ha

    I would certainly expect that it is not "factory"... I assume it is one of the "Webasto" sunroofs, which are admittedly cool, and certainly a totally period modification. They are usually seen on the likes of VWs, Jags, MGBGT, etc. I've only seen 'em factory on perhaps French cars. (Citroen 2CV). And perhaps the VWs.

    If you go for it, I sure wouldn't expect it to be leak proof, though I have no personal experience with the myself. There also might be some structural issues when put in a Volvo wagon, but only if you plan to put the car on its roof....

    I would think that if it came off a wagon, it could probably be put back on a wagon.
