Can I get some opinions on this radio we are thinking of buying. We don't care if it is "truly" correct, we just want it to have the correct face and look. The price is pretty good, almost too good.

Thanks

P.S. This is not my auction or anybody I know. I just like to have opinions on stuff I buy off of ebay.

They all look like nice correct and complete units to me. That price will climb in the next three days.

At $375 and likely to climb I would think you would want a "truly correct" radio, which the 69 version is.

If you really don't care about correct it's much cheaper to buy a 70-71 version, (not a restored one like these) and change the faceplate to the green one. All you need to do is change the wiring for the dial light so that it works off radio power instead of dash lighting, just move one internal wire, not a big deal. You can pick them up for less than 100 bucks all day.
