Production numbers for sunroof standards over the years?

mrjobe

I just found a 64' SWR/BG sunroof standard. I know non deluxe sunroof buses are very uncommon. but just how rare are they? Ive read there were less of these then sunroof deluxes, Is that true?

Does anyone have production numbers for these over the years?

I have not seen any published production numbers but yes, there are less of them than Deluxe Sunroof Buses.

From what I have seen over the years, there are more 64-66 Sunroof Standards than earlier years. Going from memory, most seem to be 1965 or 1966.

Get it!

Sunroof standards are sweet. It does seem like most of them are '65 and '66's. It seems like most of the ones that I've seen are Velvet Green and White.

Most of the ones I have seen are Sea Blue. Not sure if that is more common though.

I thought it was the year of the sunroof Bus at OCTO/VW ClassicS. I bought a 1962 Sunroof Standard 3 weeks before OCTO to drive over the weekend and then ship home if it didn't sell at OCTO. I thought it would be one of the earliest sunroof standards/kombis until I saw at least 3 or 4 Barndoor Sunroof Standards roll in to the host hotel.

Sunroof Standards are rare especially pre-64 buses, but rarity doesn't always make it desirable or worth any more$$$$. in this case I think it definitely adds value.
