Custom autosound radio

Ordered radio for 1972 Corvette. After waiting 18 days for a 3-7 day delivery. The identification tag and bezel adapters are hand written 69-77 Camaro. Before I open this, are the bezels and radio the same? ***** are definitely wrong.

There is a original 1972 Custom Autosound AM/FM Cassette radio and original speakers for sale in the "parts for sale" section, including the Corvette name plate. Not sure if you want original stuff but if you do, might be a better option.

I understand your frustration. Shipping and correct packaging has been hit or miss since the pandemic with substitute part-time workers.
I don't see how anyone on here would know the answer. Your first resort should have been the person that sent it.

If Ecklers is in error, should be free return shpg.

Can look it up by model number and see what else it fits. Probably the same for most GMs that timeframe - my friend gave me a custom autosound usa 230 he ordered for his 62 vette, fit my 75 vette perfectly, only difference is ***** chrome instead of black.

Like others said not audiophile quality but works and mine was free, I added 2 rockford fosgate speakers in the kick panels and disconnected the dash speakers, sound ok.
