Just my opinion on the shiftless console and wood grain ....... Silly / Ugly.
Just a little over 37,000 Original mile Survivor. Exterior is beautiful!. Chris.

Is the radio delete plate correct?

Honestly, given the litany of tacky things that people do to their GTOs, I find this pretty low on the scale of offensiveness. Definitely not my cup of tea, but far from the worst I've seen.
Pretty odd color combo, too.

RADIO DELETE 65-66
Is correct.
The console has been over-embellished IMHO and as pointed out the horn bar as well A stock ribbed console top along with a flat black shifter plate would go a long way in such a striking '66 interior. I thought I had more file images of the shift delete but haven't been able to locate them. Below are Radio Plates.

Gorgeous exterior! Where are these pics from? Knowing more about the car the wood grain “day 2” changes make sense.

Jeff, do you know if the cars that got the heater delete used a flat plate on the firewall or the standard air box? One of my 66's has the heater delete plate but has the standard non-a/c box.

The ones I have seen had nothing but the block off plate.
I had great images of one exported to Hawaii, If I recall the plate was very similar to the aftermarket pieces being offered.
