Were TR's available with an AM Radio?

[87gninpa]

Saw this auction and noticed the radio right away, its a Delco AM radio. Other than that the car seems loaded too, T-tops, digital dash, etc....Were these cars even available with just an AM radio? If so, I've never seen one, this must be a pretty rare (lack-of) option.

thanks for the response, must be pretty rare. Why would anyone order that?

I had an 86 T with AM. Had no options but power seat. Was ordered by Keith Gong. Some of you old school guys might remember him. I sold it to a guy in Pa in 99 or 2OOO.

I drove a GM company car back in 1987.....a 1987 Silver Regal T with bench seat, AM radio, fixed mast antenna, crank windows, no pwr locks, and cheesy chrome outside rearview mirrors. The car did not have G80 either. probably one of the least optioned TR Buick ever built. Certainly the least optioned TR's I've ever seen.

Maybe they only cared to listen to Rush Limbaugh?

My sage car came with a AM radio. My blue limited came with a power antennae and radio delete.

The am just didnt do it, so i put a am/fm and never listen to it

kirban 2 cents worth

Above answers are correct heck you could even get a radio delete (no radio) and a power antenna. Yes am radio is quite rare especially if it is still in the car today.

I did a series of article on the radios that were offered.

Years ago I had something that was even more rarer...had a 1963 corvette split window coupe....bought it used in 1971-72. the dash was never ever punched out for any radio. Meaning whoever ordered it new spent all that money for a Corvette and never ordered a radio.

I was smart back then or dumb luck I never drilled it out for a radio either....side pipes had a nice sound....

That looks like a highly optioned GN, electric trunk release, power seat, rear defrost, looks like it even has twilight... Odd that it just has an AM radio, guess they just wanted to hear the spool

the only option i have on my car is power windows lol. not sure what it had for the radio as it was replaced before i got it.
