65 GT350's radio delete

[Greg]

Most restored 65's I have seen have radio delete plates with a couple having radios and front passenger fender mounted antenna's.  I have even seen some with antenna's mounted on the passenger rear quarter. How did they come from Ford to Shelby, all radio delete and then the dealer or owner installed a radio after receiving it from Shelby or a mixed bag? 

Obviously, no need for a radio with those sweet notes coming from the exhaust.

There wasn't a 'radio delete' for 65 (and later years).  Unless the car was ordered with a radio (box checked on order sheet), the car didn't come with one.

'65 GT350 were typically not ordered with a radio by SA.  There may be some cases were a radio was installed by the selling dealer to the original owner, the 65 registry would have most of that info.

if a car was entered in judged concours and it had a radio delete plate and an antenna, that would warrant a deduction

Unless driver was wearing headphones, can't really hear radio anyway.
