In the Fall of 1969 when I ordered my '70 'Cuda it was with the radio delete. AM/FM radios were just becoming popular, but were an expensive option on a new car (around $100 on a $3000 car IIRC) while aftermarket AM/FM radios could be bought for $30-$40. Also I didn't want an antenna breaking up the great lines of the car. So I bought and installed an aftermarket radio and stuffed the antenna back up under the dash. Luckily there were several decent FM stations nearby.
