I got mine at a auto wrecking yard for $50 (1973 Chevelle).

Can't easily post a picture right now because I'm posting from my iPhone. You can check my profile for a link to my web site where you will find pics of my build and the moon roof I put in it. I picked it up used from eBay and it worked out beautifully.
When I was looking for windows I found a LOT od choices there. I think I paid maybe I paid a total of $150 for the moon roof AND the two for the doors.

If you get one that opens, one more seal to potentially leak...

Some, like newer Volkswagens, have drain tubes that have to be routed outside, and can cause big leaks if they get clogged.

A simple manually operated sun roof would be my personal choice for the opening variety, not a full fledged moon roof.
