The last real one I saw was a picture of one that Charley had. I think the only way you would get one in a Camaro was if you ordered deluxe interior and no radio. That sounds like a very rare combintation to me.

There are a bunch of fakes out there that come out of I think a buick. A orig one has the woodgrain panel studded thru a black delete. same part # on the black plate. I have pics somewhere.

Here is some pictures of the one I bought from Charley. Some of these are his pictures and some are mine of the same plate. Then I have another set from an auction years back that still retains the GM stickers. Enjoy... Mark

Actually, it would be console, deluxe (Z87), or special int (Z23). All of those would put woodgrain on the driver's side.

Just a pet peeve of mine and many others in the hobby, but when are we going to begin describing this as a "no radio plate" rather than a radio delete?

You can not delete something that was optional, it simply was not ordered from the options list. Something that was "standard" equipment that was factory removed was a "factory delete" e.g. a no heater plate.

That would currently be known as a "radio block-off plate".

Is that what the GM parts book refers to it as?

I am not certain of ALL the different actual terms the different manufacturers referred to them as, but I DO know that the term "radio delete" is definately NOT correct. That was my only point here.

I thought all 69 Camaros came standard with an AM radio umless it was 'deleted' from the order form.....but, maybe I'm wrong on this one...anyone???
