Are these original

[dmich2]

Found these nearby. Are they original, yes I know options like this were dealer installed. I believe the radio isn't working. Any idea what it costs to have that repaired??

Thanks,

Not sure about the radio, but my SV had the same radio bracket installed when I got it. I believe they were a common dealer-installed option, but not factory. I stupidly threw it away before I learned not to throw anything away.

Items are still available on Wilmington, NC craigslist. I've never seen one like this but as you indicated, these sorts of options were dealer installed, and I was wondering if this might be one offered. The curve looks different for a Sunbeam tunnel to me. But, hey , what do I know. I learn something almost everyday from this forum.

I found this site-Ian's old article. No mention of this console. But then dealers could and did install about anything to make a sale!

I do have one of these-got it with some Bugeye Sprite stuff.

Hi Dennis, if you tell me the make and model of the radio (better picture from front on) I can tell you if it was one of the original models used in the Alpine.
