83 G.P. radio delete
Bought a one owner Grand Prix with a radio delete option.Thought it was kind of cool so I figured I'd show it on the forum.That will look pretty slick in my street / strip 2+2 .

What's cool is that an aftermarket radio wasn't installed. Most people who opted for a factory radio delete did that.
My 80 Lemans can with a factory AM/FM mono, that was a bit unusual by 1980. Dave

Well, some old timers back in the day wanted to save pennies would get cars stipped down. My great uncle got a new '72 fullsize Ford with an I6 and only wanted an AM radio as an option! Said whitewalls were a waste of $$ [agree here]

I still remember seeing a mid 80's GP with dog dish hubcaps and no trim being driven by an elderly man. It looked naked.
After the 1988 W bodies, there were no more strippo model Pontiacs, except for the compacts. |

I had a 79 GP a/c rear defrost and radio delete. It was two tone but no vinyl roof. Wierd.

I just finished a 61 Ford convertible a couple a months ago that was unsually optioned. It was a California car that had PS,PB,AC but no radio! The story is that the original owner was a teacher and a newlywed. His reason for this was that if he ordered it with a radio they would listen to the radio instead of talking to each other.
I always wondered if the next car he bought had a radio in it though...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
