WTB-1972 AM or AM/FM Stock GM Chevelle Radio
Permalink  
 


Looking for a stock 1972 Chevelle working or non-working radio to put in my dash.  If non-working, I will move the aftermarket one I have now into the glove box.

Let me know if you have one laying around that you want to sell.  Thought I'd check here before going to Evilbay.

Thanks,

Stan

Found an AM one on Evilbay in Arizona for $19.99 plus shipping (Maybe I should have had Rick bring it back this Spring!) and actually won an auction without anyone bidding against me!  Think I did pretty good for a change...

Get it refurbished at the shop in Blain and remove the glove box unit. That would give you AM/FM Aux inut for ipod with a high power amp and all look stock in the process.

Good idea Dave.  For now the funds don't allow for it, so it will be a 'dummy' radio just to make the dash look completely stock.

For me there is no bigger turn off then seeing what some of these guys do to the dash for sound now. Years ago a factory AM radio was $150 from the dealer and the Am/Fm was $300 when I was a kid. We had a few cars growning up that had NO Radio at all, and when my dad spent money buying an after market reverb unit for the wagon WOW that was a big deal.

I think one of my first foray's into car electronics was when I was 12 and convinced my Dad to let me put an FM converter in our '73 Olds Toranado in the mid 70's.  He didn't see the benefit since FM was scarce in our part of the woods, but I bought one anyway with my paper route money, and he let me put it in.  It was a little box that mounted below the dash.  Pretty high tech for the time!  Lol

I won't begin to tell y'all about how many vintage/classic dashes I had to cut holes in... people didn't care - had to have their tunes.
