Possibly radio. The plastic box and brackets I'm sure I won't use. As for the radio I'm open to a package on all pictured.
I'd be interested to see who has the same speaker box. The radio works great too good to have it's guts changed to modern style.

Warren,
Just go with the article on Alpine radios and call yours a Mk II radio and console. Then double the asking price. :D

Radio

Hi Warren, there was a very original, low mile Mkll that sold a few years back. A Commodore blue car owned by author and car collector Colin Comer, I believe he was the second owner. In the car under the dash, hung the radio you have. I have seen it installed on other Mkll's also. Like door mirrors, installed by the dealer with stock on hand.

Names

It's the same crowd that argues that to be correct a US license plate must be drilled and screwed into boot lid. My 1a is Commodore blue and the dough is going into it. The survey of what one dealership did is exactly that a survey of one. Fickle buyers..... I had a buyer hold up an AC Housing and tell me this reproduction is heavier then my original at home. :)

Speaker Housing and...

Warren, I really need that speaker box for my Mkll!! I've been working day and night fixin' and detailing in order to drive to Sacremento fot T.U. I have the radio but the speaker is mount under the passenger false floor. If you recall, I sold you the wheels off my Mk l last year, maybe a return favor (deal)? If possible, ship it to me ASAP!

Out there

I plan on being there at United. I'm starting back on the long stalled B.C. project my 64 Bug convertible. I've started look closely at VW's again and what do you spy in the pics...

Motorola I think. It's exactly the same and I've seen em in black. The center medallion I can't say but most likely was a different sticker. Now everyone looking go to The​ Samba and watch the sale section​.

Is the radio still available?

Cheech and Chong

Bruce did you put on your best Cheech voice and say "Nice radio which block you park on?" :)

Yes the radio is available I saw one on ePay for 425 lately that had a sticker still and it's non descript and plain faux chrome. that's all that is missing from mine.

I'm in roster so ring me..

Taking to United

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-SUNBEAM-ALPINE-GT-TIGER-CONVERTIBLE-RAPIER-WORKING-BENDIX-AM-RADIO-RARE/162853099083?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

No I did not buy this one above but I have seen the radios alone sell for 400.00 in nearly new condition. The last sale was 2 or 3 years back. Id's say this eBay shopper got a good price, considering the scarcity. I do not believe these fit the earlier consoles as the shafts are not adjustable as in later radios of the period. I'm selling only cause it'll be some time till my later car is together. I do like talk radio and as a Motorola product in fine working order I am reluctant to have someone rip its guts out to modernize and make it a seriously loud boom box.
