Original Mopar Dodge AM car radio, ideal for restoration. Tested with no power. All components present. Sold as-is. Only dry-cloth wiped to preserve originality.
MAIN DESCRIPTION
This is an original Mopar Model 381 Dodge AM all-transistor car radio, highly suited for authentic restoration projects. This unit has all the classic factory styling, buttons, and architecture collectors look for when returning a vintage Dodge to its true original condition.
The radio was tested and did not power on, so it is sold strictly as-is / not working. It remains a solid restoration core, ideal for rebuilders, restorers, and anyone seeking period-correct OEM components.
The exterior shows natural age and patina—oxidation, metal wear, dust, and light surface marks—typical of an untouched original part. No cleaning agents were used. It was only wiped gently with a dry cloth to maintain the integrity of the housing and electronics, preserving it for a proper restoration process.
