Original Radio and faceplate question Options

[914Next]

Below are a couple pics of the radio in my '73 2.0. This radio was in the car when the original owner purchased it from the showroom in '73. Clearly looks to me like a dealer install. Is it typical, however that the faceplate would not have the same vinyl weave as the rest of the dash? Is the standard blaupunt radio installed at the time?

Are there by vinyl weave original faceplates to be found?

Thanks

I noticed all your threshold parts are black. My 73 is silver. Is your 73 a late build?

Mine was built in 11/72. I know the 74's went with black.

I'm not up on build dates but yes I would say mine is a later build. 04/73 and sold in July '73. interestingly it has what appear to both early and late pieces. It has the white headlight surrounds which I think were early and the plastic threshold covers which were later as I recall.
