Default Corvette Radar Detector Value

I think I asked this before, so sorry if I'm reposting.

I got this years ago out of a 907A. Was it a factory option? Were they any good? (I know it's out dated now) Is it worth anything, maybe for a period correct collector?

TIA

I really don't think GM ever put any kind of radar detector in any of it's cars.

Just an old piece of junk electronics. Note that it says "Designed for Corvette". It's not a GM piece. Also, its probably X and K band only. It will not detect current Ka band radars.

It was called a K40. I had one in my 86. Front and Rear receivers. It was OK.
