Re: Radio Delete
I know this tread refers directly to Camaros but I had a '68 Corvette with no radio. I still have the 'build sheet' from the top of the fuel tank and it was definitely a radio delete car. No ignition shielding under the hood, no braided plug wire covers, no speakers, the block off plate in the dash,................... but the car came with an antenna and the coax run under the console to the dash.
I bought the car in December of '71 and talked with the original owner. He told me he NEVER had a radio in ANY of his Corvettes. His earlier cars ('58 & '62) received record players and his '64 and up cars had tape decks. He traded the '68 for a '72 and still, no radio.
He told be he was upset with the dealer when he first saw the '68 because he noticed the antenna on the car as he drove on the lot and assumed it had a radio. He asked if they could remove the antenna but finally decided to leave it rather than patch the hole in the rear deck and have the panel repainted.
