Radio delete plate

I forgot I had this lying around my barn. Its a 1969 Cutlass radio delete cover out of a 1969 442 I parted out in the 1980s, this was the first one I had seen back then so I kept it. Does anyone know what these go for on ebay??

The Parts Place has new ones for $49. I'd be interested in buying it depending on what you want for it.

I made my own... complete with fake blinking alarm light!
An amp under the seat with an iPod connection makes a nice, removable sound system for a convertible!

I like yours better than the factory one.

Thanks! I think my $5 eBay Olds emblem adds a nice "factory" touch, lol.
The stereo had been stolen when I got the car, and of course they broke the dash. Shortly after I got the car someone cut the top to steel about 10 homemade CD's my son left on the front seat. Luckily my insurance covered the top replacement. Now I never lock the doors... nothing inside is worth the cost of top!

Since they are being reproduced, and are that cheap, and I have a 69, I think I will just keep it. Nice job MAC, it sucks that there are people out there, so willing to destroy other peoples property. THAT "SUCKS"

Not really much to it... I cut a scrap of black, textured plastic to size (kinda looks like crinkle-coated metal)... attached it with 3M tape... drilled 2 holes for my eBay Olds emblem... and another for my flashing LED (wired to a toggle switch under the dash.) Nothin' fancy... but looks like it belongs there.

Thanks for idea - I will do cover and my son can hook up an awesome portable system that we can take easily out of the car
