[DeTomaso] Pantera audio predicament

[Larry Stock]

It is a modern shaft-less radio, so you will need to open up the radio opening to fit, but yes the reversing radio block off plate looking graphics will require a knowledgeable second if not third look to see that it is not an original Radio Block off plate. You can also add a remote CD changer option. This a complete Kenwood KDC-X689 remote driven option, CD Digital Radio Receiver with Chrome DeTomaso Radio Block off plate graphics. All the modern radio conveniences that when not in use looks like a radio delete optioned Pantera interior.

    Dear Larry,
    
                        So....the Pantera delete-radio plate covers modern stereo units that require cutting the dash?
    
                        Or....there is a Pantera specific stereo unit attached to your Pantera plate underneath it that fits into the "normal" Pantera dash cut-out?

           Dear Forum,
        
        
        
                            My ancient AM/FM/cassette no longer plays cassettes
           and, therefore, the cassette-MP3 adaptor doesn't work and I am left
           with the radio.   I expect to drive from Oklahoma City to Phoenix and
           road tunes in the vast expanse of the great American Southwest would be
           good.
        
        
                            The nearby car stereo shop knows Panteras and offered
           what I wanted, but the modern units require cutting the dash to fit.  I
           was told that the "chassis" size of the Pantera is no longer
           manufactured.  Sigh.
        
        
                             I was not keen on cutting the dash.  They offered the
           option of a company that services the owners of classic and vintage
           vehicles,  Custom Auto Sound,   [1]https://customautosoundmfg.com/ .
           They offer stereos that fit and have the required functions.  They look
           a bit retro, but I do think that they could work aesthetically and
           sonically.
        
        
                            Anyone have any recommendations for my conundrum?  Oh,
           and no Bluetooth and no smarty phone.
        
        
                                     Curious,  Chuck Engles
