The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Give me a few days and I'll get you a picture or one. It will be attached to a car parked in my garage on Sunday (teaser).

I checked with Tony at Tony's Mopar, because I am looking for one, also.  He said they are very rare, and are apparently not reproduced.

Chryco,

I have a makeshift radio delete panel that came with my Cuda when I bought it. I'm installing a radio now and don't need this plate. I'm not sure if it's anything you'll want, but it's yours for free if you just cover the cost of shipping. Here are some pics I just took.

I'm also looking for a radio delete plate for my car. Fender tag says it was so from the beginning, so I'd like to collect the parts for the future restoration. Some previous owner have modified the panel (or a radio bezel) to put in a modern cd-player. Also the rear mounted antenna has been added. I plan to delete all for the original look.

Anyone know if the radio delete plates appear in different styles or colors? With/without ribbed finish?

Here is a picture of the only car I can remember to have seen with a radio delete, a 70 Barracuda. Not an good angle to show the radio delete, but...

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I haven't been on the forum in a couple days because I was with my Dad in the hospital. I'm back now and will be happy to PM you and get details figured out. This panel is pretty nice, but certainly not perfect -- but maybe it could at least work for you until you find something better. I'll PM you in just a little bit.

I am very curious as to wether or not these came in different colors.  If the black is rare, the red must be made of unobtainium.
I have considered using one of these on  my car so I can rig an ipod somewhere and have it look like there is no stereo. 
Anyone know?   :popcorn: :popcorn:
