No.
The 65-68 cars have one. But I think from 69 -73, the dash is covered with material the same as left and right of thr radio.

thanks for the reply.
best

Here is the one I have. the pics are not good but I dodged the part # to try to show it #911.552.436.02 I believe it is for a 73............ Sorry the attach files section only gives me examples of image appendage but no way to choose an image. Any one else having this problem?

Looks like it's working now.

That's my understanding as well. The parts books appear to concur, in that the panel for non-radio car states "indicate color" as does the other fabric covered panels. Part # for it is 911 552 079 00

So how do you "fill" in the aluminum trim where the radio opening is before covering it in the material?

[Eric911S]

What I do is use some thin sheet steel about 22 gauge. This is thick enough to cover the hole and light enough as well. You find it at home centers as flashing for vents or for roofing. It is galvanized as well. I cut it so it fits with the cover material in the groove. Glue it all up with contact cement and your done. Hope this helps. Thanks Eric

I have tried the plastic radio delete plate but didn't work. The rounded corners don't match up so nice with the rest of the dash face. I think it's for post 73 cars. I am in with Eric911S, I used print plate and glued vinyl on it.

Nice solution. Where's a good source of vinyl for this? Thanks!
