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

Maybe so. I mean, not many women would tolerate a carb sitting on the kitchen counter.

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.

Only several sets of seat belts as of late...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif That gal can cook up quite a brew that really cleans those belts.

Awesome car. My father had a 66 SS impala 427/425 number matching car. Sold 5 years ago now I do believe. If you scroll down alittle in this past there are a few pictures of it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat...true#Post159870

I do believe he has some parts for this sort of car still. I remember seeing some Gm boxes in the garage that pertained to this car. Maybe a tissue dispenser and some other small things.

Took some more before pic's today........Again, this is not a correct numbers matching car.......But I'm going to make it into a factory correct appearing 427 car...
