A folding vinyl sunroof was a popular option installed in the '70s, I
think by dealers, not the factory. I managed to get one made by Britax
several years ago, but I couldn't find a source when I looked recently.
Here is a link for a current supplier of folding roofs, Britax is
apparently kaput: http://www.donmar.com/sunroofs/fold.htm
You could install a modern glass sunroof, but it wouldn't be "authentic
for the period." See http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/Sunroof.htm
for one I installed in my Vanagon that would also work in a GT. Pretty
easy to do, a weekend project.
I haven't installed mine yet, (it's for the '74, and like it says below,
I'm really slow!), but I found one on the MG Cars site owned by a fellow
named John Rayworth, and he has some good photos on his site:

Well worth doing, especially in a moderate climate where the air flow
gained isn't offset by the heat of the sun beating down on you!
