Can anyone give me info on this radio?
This radio came with the car when I bought it but was not installed. I知 thinking about selling it but not sure of the detail such as if correct for the year,69. I知 not sure if it works as well. Also wondering what something like this is worth. I have not seen any with the red on the fac

Based on the part number, looks to be 70-76 Vette. But probably used in other GM cars as well.

The letters/numbers on the face seems to have a tinge of green in them. That would make it a 1970 or 1971...if the info in the prior post is correct. Only '68-71 had green-ish lettering. Later years had white lettering.
The radio shown is a mono AM/FM radio and the dial bezel has been re-painted red for some reason. It should be eggshell or satin black.

Pricing really depends on whether it works....hook up the power, antenna wire, power amp and a speaker and see if you can get it to play. After so many years it likely may not function. The cost to get it to work is more than the value typically.

The identifying sticker on the side has been mostly removed. You have a 60 in the seven digit serial number but the model number was listed above that and is gone. The product number at the bottom has also been ripped off and the list of small numbers showing are only U.S. patent numbers. Willcox has, or had a code chart for radios on their website for Corvettes but the identifiers on yours are not there. The top number (it was above the 60 in yours) is the most important as it tells you the year, the type of car, the model and the type of radio but it has been peeled off.

68-76 Corvette radios have a separate amplifier/heat sink, and will not operate without it. Do you have the amp?
With the green face, the radio would be correct for a 68-71 Corvette, but it fit any 68-76. The ***** on the radio are 69-71, but they're missing the spacers.
Generally, 68-76 radios without an amp, sell for $100-$200, in unknown condition. Because of the red painted dial and 3 clipped wires, I'd put the value of your radio toward the lower end of the price range. If it was in working condition, and included the amp, the price could be $400+.
