On 69 b body am/fm radio, did they ever say Dodge? I thought all 69 b body am/fm radios said Chrysler Solid State. What say you???

My 69 Charger with the factory AM/FM radio says Chrysler Solid State.

Now if we were talking about AM B body radios, then yes, In 1968 the dial faces were Dodge or Plymouth, and in 1969 they all said Chrysler

As far as "hard to find" Mopar AM FM radios go, speaking as someone who has handled more Mopar A B E body radios than anyone on this planet,
Your three most difficult to find AM FMs are...1967 Belvedere/Satellite/GTX model # 369 ...1967 Coronet / Charger model # 370….and 1967 Dart / Barracuda model # 385.

Well, it's all about supply and demand . Although their is very little supply, their is also very little demand .Real model # 369s don't come up for sale very often, maybe two or three a year if you look hard
at the online auctions and pester the big parts vendors , etc. About 3 months ago someone listed an incorrect description and sold an incorrect radio for $ 500 . A real model # 369 in excellent working order has the
potential to pull well over a grand , but then again it depends on how many people fight over it . Here is the last one I had....

Reminds me of my first visit to Chryslers @ Carlisle, circa 1994. I arrived early on Saturday, as some vendors were unpacking. Owning a 70RR with R22 but empty hole where the radio sits, I was on the hunt for one. I encountered one vendor unpacking and asked if he had any radios. Left off the 70B body AM/FM part as that always got a smirk smile He brings out a box, probably with 30+ radios. Among them were four 70B body AM/FMs (and several A body AM/FMs) shockshockshock $160 later I happily left with all four. One of those memories that sticks with you.
