I would say no just on general principles. As the owner of a GT6 and a CGT6 I think a moon/sun roof is a poor compromise. I have owned only one vehicle with such a roof and as Doug says it stays closed most of the time.
I would be wary too of a 40+ year old cloth roof. If you go ahead make as sure as possible it will remain pliable AND you know where you are going to get it replaced when it stops being so.
