looking for an original 8 trackplayer for my 79 Vette

[billagroom]

Hi any ideas were to find one or what make they were? did it say Corvette on them?

I've got one that I could part with though it came out of a 1977. I don't recall if it had Corvette on it.

No 8-track player here, but I got the tapes. I think these were left over from either my father's Duster or my uncle's Chevy. I think there's an Elvis and Santana with the other 20 or so.

Me too.....

I am also looking for a orginal AM/FM Cassette Radio for my '79 Vette. Does anyone have one or least a PIC of what one looks like?

Thanks.

I think they only had Am Fm or Am Fm 8tracks and CBs in 79 but I could be wrong it has happened before

Did your glovebox have the slots to hold the 8-track tapes. Mine does, but I put 8-track tapes in the slots and also cassette tapes and I thought the cassettes fit just as good?

I know the AM/FM CB Radio was a option.

Can someone chime in here and let us know. I did see a original AM/FM Radio with CB For Sale on Ebay the other day. The owner did say it was out of a '79 Corvette.

Ho ho ho!!
have I got a deal for the 8-track lover wanna-be!!! I have to dig around in my attic, but somewhere I have an 8-track recorder! I never used it for perhaps 15 years, but it worked back then. (As a kid, I recorded the original Star Wars soundtrack onto 8-track.) Just think, you could make 8-tracks of current CD's! (of course, it would be analog quality after all).

I'll dig in my attic this weekend, and if Radio Shack has a blank tape, I'll try it out. If it works, I'll post it. Lemme know if you may be interested. Otherwise, I'm sure someone else here may want to buy it. I haven't thought of a price yet, but it would not be more than $25, including shipping)

Nope...I'm afraid that it was another casualty in the divorce. But, the 8 track idea is pretty cool. Even if it was there 'for show'. I wonder if you could hook up a CD changer to it?

I would be interested in a orginal AM/FM Radio 8-track from your buddy if Billagroom passes on it.

Thanks,

Weren't those just a corperate radio? If so aren't there any late 70s gm's left in the bone yards up there.If not let me know and I'll check around here for you.

Not sure if this will help. My first vette was a 79. The previous owner had installed an after market AM/FM cassette in it. I didn't like it so I went to the local junk yard and found I believe it was a 1981 Delta 88 that had the original am/fm stero still in it . Fit perfect right down to the connector. If you strike out it might be worth a try, my guess is most GM cars from that era shared a lot of parts

good luck
