    SWB vs LWB Radio Delete Plate

    If there is a difference, please advise. Didn’t turn up a thread on search. Maybe I missed one if it’s out there. I have this RDP for sale (spoken for x 2) IF it’s for a SWB. I don’t know so I’m turning to the experts. I’m “assuming” (uh oh) it is an SWB. Appears to have never been installed. Thanks!

    Was this factory original on SWB or LWB?
    If no radio ordered, the dashboard simply had no hole (to cover), at least this is what I thought.

    Pet peeve: With Porsche, radios were optional. Base cars were delivered without radios, hence the term "radio delete" is inappropriate since that should only apply when something that is usually standard equipment is removed at the time of order and construction. This unfortunate term apparently had its origin in the Corvette community and has spread like wildfire throughout the entire collectible automobile world. I know I'm fighting a losing battle against changes in usage of the English language, but I feel compelled to continue my efforts. Good luck with the plate, I have an LWB with a radio.

    But there was no/never a plate. Either it had a radio or blank dashboard.
    Plates are aftermarket and not factory original.
    At least this is what I thought to know.

    Could it be if a car was ordered with radio prep (speaker and antenna) it came with the radio hole opened covered by a plate ?

    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.
