I don't think it is. The photos are about good enough to show nothing, but the push buttons don't look right and I don't think it should have the chevy emblem on the dial. Also, the heat sink is on the wrong side if I remember correctly.

I'm with Randy. Heat sink on wrong side, knobs, etc.. don't look quite right. If you are interested in that radio ask the seller to provide more info. Date codes etc. off the back and location of antenna cable attachment will tell you a lot about that radio. Ask seller to provide a better pic of the face and check the DELCO script also. Rob

iirc, factory am/fm's had "Delco" printed on the dial area in fancy script. this one doesn't.
