Re: Biscayne Resto Project
I saw that one on ebay too. It was missing a few things. I believe it should have a bowl breather on the front bowl. That may depend on the date. Maybe Eric has one he can add to it.

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
I think that radio is a dealer installed item. All factory radios were Delco. Motorola made exact dup;icates for aftermarket installation. A local radio shop here had a bunch of them he sold a while back. Looked exactly like the originals but said Motorola on the face plate, just like yours. Frank

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Ken,
Radios were one of the items (like OSRV mirrors) that many dealers installed themselves to make a little more profit than if the car was RPO'd with a radio. Sometimes the dealer would use the Delco unit too because he could buy it through service parts, then charge the customer the full list. HE made a larger margin on it that way than if he put it on the car order. There are a couple ways to tell if the radio was a factory installation or dealer. The factory die punched the hole for the antenna, where the dealer used a hole saw. Also, rear antennas were installed before the trunk spatter paint, so a factory installation would have some overspray on the base of the mast and the bracket that held it to the inner wheelhouse lip in the trunk.
