**** holes for the radio of course were never there unless a radio was ordered (or dealer installed).

Add another heater delete to the list where do I get the caps?

A quick check of the "good" resto houses shows NA (not available any more). LICS, Zip, CC, Paragon, and Wilcox. Ebay has a set as part of the overall heater delete package parts for $950.00. At that price Reno may want to install a heater.

I would advise that he advertise in WTB section and also on this thread. Perhaps someone may have a set. Last price I saw was $80.00 for the set of two. Way too much...........but supply and demand.

Absolutely. Same with ordering A/C if you lived "up north."

Now, I don't know if you can even buy a car without A/C in the US???

Seems odd..
Back then some cars were ordered for dealer stock and to put in showroom window to draw customers in. They were usually base models. Could have been one of those

Reno:

Get some dimensions and a few closeup pics from a forum member and have a shop make them for you. With 3-D printing just about anything is possible. If you are good enough, make and sell the others for a profit.

My friend works for a large industrial fabrication company here in Louisiana and you will be surprised at what the CNC machinists can make. He buys them a lunch now and then and has parts that are better than GM NOS.

PS: And they enjoy doing it for him when he shows them the pics of his car and their "special" parts. Amazing stuff they turn out. Company owner is fine with this as my friend is an old-time and great employee with a lot of special benefits.

Larry

EDIT: About 6 years ago, I helped a forum member create the oil shields for the A6 compressors for our C2 cars. He needed one for his car. When all was done, he had the one he needed plus the design for the future. He sold them here on the CF as well as thru Ecklers and a few other resto shops. I think they are still being made and sold. I have a few for myself that he gave me as "gifts". Something to think about.
