yeah the glass moonroof is a pretty rare (dealer) option. I'd love to have one :P

Does it run?

You can get a new shift boot at the dealer, they're about $250

Well tried anyways... Yes the glass roof was an option... I've had 3 of them already and sold them because I was building stripped out race cars... Now that I got a heavy beast I want it back... Gotta have more weight lol!
