Re: 1972 radio issue question
Thanks to all for the information. Quick note, the radio works just great on a bench check, and on my build sheet it does state radio delete. Its just going to be a plug and play. So, the car will run soon after 16 years of sitting. A lot of work went it into this to make it happen.- Top

Re: 1972 radio issue question
I'm curious, too. I'm trying to recall what year that radios became standard equipment on Corvettes (maybe 1977???). In any event, I would not expect to see "radio delete" used prior to that time.
As I recall, a very long time ago there was some sort of ruling by some federal agency that if a radio was included as part of standard equipment for a car, the buyer had to have the option of deleting it for a credit on the MSRP. I think this was pushed by the aftermarket electronics industry which wanted folks to be able to elect an aftermarket radio rather than the one they got "free" with the car.In Appreciation of John Hinckley- Top
