Radio delete rallye gauge bezel

Does anyone else out there have a radio delete rally gauge cluster bezel in their 71 RR? Our 71' RR has one and I really like it. Reminds me of the way cool sixties radio delete vanilla Savoys and 330 sedans. Are they pretty rare for the 71-74 Roadrunners. Thanks, joseph

I'd say they are pretty rare! Not sure how many but they seem to be few and far between. Someone posted a link to a 72 RR/GTX that was radio delete on eBay. That is a vast empty space of woodgrain!

Technically not a radio delete (radios were optional on 71 runners). Here are production numbers, you can back out how many were built without radios from the radio option numbers...fairly uncommon.

That is a great breakdown Eric! As the heading implies, this doesn't include Satellites does it? I'd like to see what some of these packages included. Is that info readily available?

No, I'm not aware of numbers being available for Satellite option build percentages. For more info on option packages, look at Barry Washington's website

according to that chart that would only make 2.2% to have the radio delete. I just bought one here a few days ago off ebay - I can't wait to get it!!!
On a second note man radios were expensive (the non economy ones) I bet the conversion rates on those in todays dollars would be staggering, seeing how my old man at the time was making about $1/hr.

A Road Runner without a radio? Never heard of such a thing!

Oh, and yeah, this is a later model bezel in my '71. It's the only NOS piece I could find to replace the original that the original owner drilled holes in to mount a vacuum gauge right where the radio would have been.

Here's how ours turned out after it's refresh from Just Dashes.

That looks fantastic! That rechromed plastic makes the difference!
