Figured I would chirp in to confirm....you could order a Regal with no radio and a power antenna. Of the 300 plus 1986-1987 Turbo Regals I sold back in the late 1980s and early 1990s I had at least two and both cars I had the window stickers for. The code on the trunk ID label for this to be original is UL5 which in the books says $56 which I believe the way its written would be $56 savings since it shows ($56.00)
As someone posted earlier this allowed customers to buy their own aftermarket radio....looking back the radios were not the best based on the times they would eat cassettes.
On a similar note I had a car that beats them all for not having a radio...
In 1970 I bought a used 1963 Corvette split window coupe 4 speed 327......it never never had a radio! If you are familiar with those cars the radio would be the vertical style this Corvette was never even cut out for a radio! I never butchered it and instead mounted a radio under the passenger seat. I have the Corvette black book it shows a total of 21,613 that year got either the am radio or am-fm radio. Coupes and converts. Then you add coupes and converts and that total for 1963 is 20,546. Doing the math between the two figures leaves a mere 67 that did not get a radio out of 21,613. Yes dumb luck I owned that car. I paid $2400 for it in 1970. A Vette not being a cheap car hard to imagine someone would order with no radio and dash was never drilled for it.
Sorry if I got slightly off the topic but just wanted to point out that radio delete cars are rare. On a another note cars that went to Hawaii during at least as late as the 1960s could be bought with a heater delete!
Not a car any owner in Minnesota would want to drive in the winter!
