AMC did not have a radio-delete option on an AMX in 1979--they were normally pretty well-optioned cars with plussed-up interiors--or I would have had the chance to leave it out. Maybe some of their ultra-cheap-for-fleets Spirits of that era had the radio delete option, but I can't truthfully claim it on the model I'm building. The last thing I need is to haul to an event and get tossed for having no radio, so I'm playing it safe. The 2.8 pounds is worth it, and I can lose that much body weight to offset it! No cake for me...

Trust me on this one, you will be One of the few Stockers in the lanes with a radio....You can FAB your own radio delete plate....Would be a wise idea to join us at Indy Pts meet, walk thru the staging lanes and OBSERVE.....might save you a lot of trouble down the road.....Ed Fernandez , quit being a wise guy ....LOL...!!
