How rare is a 69 Camaro Rosewood radio delete ???

[JIM]

Acording to the numbers that I have found only 25857 cars out of the total production of 243085 did not receive a radio. 16% percent of the production had deluxe interior. I was just curious how many of the rosewood versions had been seen still in cars or for sale. Most of the camaro people I had spoken to had never seen one just pictures. I know from working back in the Chevy dealerships in the seventies even our price leader cars that were ordered without a radio received a dealer installed radio before delivery and the plates went back to parts or were thrown away. My 70 SS convertible was ordered without a radio and still retains its original grained blockoff and I have only seen 1 other like it in the Blue LS-6 convertible that Chris White just finished. I have a whole collection of block off plates from 55 to 72 that I am thinking of letting go even 70-72 Monte Carlo wood grained ones that are never seen.
