Ah, now I'm not so sure then. Seems like it's metal just like another body panel, but maybe it's fiberglass- I'll take a better look shortly. No good pics of it yet. I'm pretty sure it's not glass, interior panel on it is a hard vinyl cover- definitely can't see through it!
So is Saratoga glass or what?

Are you sure it's a Saratoga? They made plexiglass sunroof panels for several cars back in the day, but I've never heard of a metal one. Seems odd that someone would remove the factory fiberglass roof panel and replace it with something heavier like metal, but who knows...

Sentinelist- you have the normal sunroof that 98% of 944s came with, made of fiberglass. The Saratoga top was a rare option made of clear, tinted plexiglass/glass(?).

The Saratoga top was an after market thing - not a factory option. And I think "Saratoga" was the brand... and it was made from glass. But there are also other "Saratoga knock-offs" made from plastic.
But, simply, if you can see through it, it's special. If you can't see through it, it's ordinary, and if you have no sunroof at all, it's pretty rare and would make a good track car.
