This one isn't correct because it has FM and the correct one only has AM but the price isn't too bad.

What do you think it came out of and would e-body wiring connect to it...???

This is one of my biggest pet peeves with Ebay seller's offering Mopar radios. Another one offering a cheap C body radio as an E body! One line in the description says it all. "I WAS TOLD IT CAME OUT OF A 1970 CUDA." Can you say hearsay???

The E body version mounted from the bottom of the front of the radio frame with two bolts, not the face. The E body (any version) only had an antennae feed input socket that came through the bottom. There was no room for the antennae plug anywhere else on the radio frame.

People wind up believing the seller's hype, buy one of these non E body radios, give the seller a positive feedback comment and later when they try to install miss fitting radio, find out the real deal.

Ok, I'll go now...

that's because its for either a 70 a body or a 70 body depending on the depth of the body.
