RE: {Chrysler 300} Radio Bezel Strip with FM radio 300K

Thanks Nick,

I am starting to wonder if I should just keep the AM radio and send it out to be gutted and rebuilt as a AM-FM-USB unit. By the time I pay $375 for a none working radio with the bezel, or I pay $395 for a rebuilt radio without a bezel and not to mention that the aluminum strip under the bezel if also different…

I really wanted to have the factory AN-FM-Reverberator set up that was in my folk’s car I drove in High School. But, not with spending a $1000 to $1500 to get it all.

For $500 to $700 I can get the AM gutted and converted to stereo and updated and it will outlive me…

I need to ponder.

James

James,

I handled a '64 NY wagon last year that had an AM/FM radio and here is a picture of the radio installed. You can see it has a bezel over the radio face behind the knobs and cut out for the push buttons. I don't know if the dash trim panel is different or not. Note this car didn't have the lower dash pad.

Hi All,

If anyone has a spare FM radio bezel, they want to sell for a 300K, send me a note. In the next month or so I plan on taking out the carpet which means the seats and the console. While it is all out, I plan on adding an AM FM radio, a Reverberator and the rear defroster. I think I found a couple of FM radios. One core and one restored for the same price. Sometimes pricing makes me wonder.

Does anyone have a photo of the aluminum strip that goes along the bottom of the dash that is for the FM radio?

Thanks, James
