the last trans am i owned, a 1979 special edition (smokey and the bandit car) had a combination am/fm/8 track/ cb radio in it. as much as i wanted to put a modern cd player in it i just couldnt force myself to do it. that was a great car.
Now, I just happen to have an Audiovox AM/FM/8Track/CBRadio, that is BRAND NEW In The Box (never been installed), that I am thinking about putting in the GTX!
AND, the price was RIGHT!
You see, when I worked in Parts, at the local GMC dealership, ever so often, the Part Manager would arrange to take us to Lunch after our Half day of work on a particular Saturday, then we'd go back and go through the parts room (with HIM taking parts that he thought had been there long enough) and remove what he selected. ALL the stuff he removed, was supposed to go in the dumpster. Now, he didn't really care what happened to those items (as long as they didn't end up back in the parts room)! Myself, I brought home that radio and 2 others (AM/FM, but nothing fancy). I got some hardware that could come in handy, a new, in the box, set of bed rails and misc other things. When I got home and looked through the stuff, I was amazed wwhen I opened that one box and found the Audiovox AM/FM/8 Track/40 channel CB Radio!
Now, I have yet to hook it up to see if it still works. If It works, I'll have to fab up a custom mount for it. No Way am I going to mess with the GTX's factory mounts and faceplate. That stuff ain't cheap!
When we still had Brenda's road runner (which became mine, when I bought her that new 76' Volare' road runner), she got me a new Motorola 8 track player that I installed in the dash, after I removed the ashtray! Fit like a glove!
