What would Numberdummy say? "Another clueless ebay seller!" That is not part # E0TZ-10045-A. It is a radio bezel, and those are base part number 10044. But they have 10045 as an ID # on them.

This one appears to say E6TB 10045A98 Custom, but it is clearly the early style with a shaft-mounted radio. So maybe that is really E0TB 10045A98 Custom, and our handy dandy decoder says that would be an 82/83 with radio and w/o clock and mesh weave.

Gary, wasn’t the “Custom” moniker dropped after 81? I could be wrong but I thought the base model for 82-up had no moniker and nothing in the nameplate area?

By golly, you are right. So that has to be an 80/81 bezel. Right?

That’s what I would think since it has the “custom” script in the nameplate are...

Jeepers is that what these go for? I pulled one out of the junkyard in nice shape that I should sell asap then!

Don't miss that the one listed is New/Old Stock, meaning it has never been mounted.

I think what appears to be a 6 is an accidental imperfection in the "0". There's no way this thing is from 1986. The 85-86 bezels didn't have silver edging like the 80-84 bezels did.

I'd have to agree.

You can see the swirl damage caused by the screw heads. They are calling it NOS but its just Really good used condition.

So many people on ebay use NOS to sell stuff that isnt.

I'm half tempted to buy this bezel so I can use one of those retro radios
