how many still have a working stock radio??

[jaidedeye]

my 82 GT has the original AM/FM radio in it and it works!! everything on it operates and it looks new...how many others still have the stock radio installed and working?

[86-5_OH]

my 85 daily driver was a radio delete car but it has a period correct radio that was prob put in at the dealer around that time. still works and is actually in great shape.

That ship sailed years ago for my Sport.LOL. I have a CD player in the dash,and a 10 disc CD changer in the trunk.

[85Mark2.3Lx]

I do, in my 85lx. Its the premium sound radio with the knobs, pushbutton, and cassette player, also the small amp thing still works. I guess it wasn't used much. The only thing wrong with it is that there is the knobs are faded.
I use it everyday...

all my friends thats road with ask "how do you find different stations with it?" lol.......

The Premium Sound unit in my '85 vert works...however, the display light and the cassette player don't. Thinking about pulling and repairing or getting another period correct unit...maybe get a better amp too as the Premium Sound don't sound so Premium anymore...LOL

My '85 GT still has a working AM/FM radio but at times the left speaker cuts out. This has bothered me for years now. I've checked the wire going to that speaker and it's fine. If someone can tell me what to do next, I would appreciate it.

stock am/fm in my anny, swapped out speakers but kept the stockers for giggles

ya, I'm surprised too. All my lights fule light cig. lighter ashtrey light work/function after 25 years, Ive only had the car for 5yrs (daily drive it everyday) but I never had to replace anything (knocking on wood).

84gt 350 org PS System still wrks including the AMP

The Premium Sound unit in my '85 vert works...however, the display light and the cassette player don't.

Same issue with the '79 5dr. The light started work again after disconnecting/reconnecting the moulded connectors. The deck still doesn't work. I have to admit, with new speakers the PS sounds pretty good in the large cabin of the wagon. The 'Amp Pull' bulb has slightly melted the plastic grommet.

I have a replacement stock radio in my car, after my push buttons siezed up. Works like a charm. Sound is good, and I have my 5 presents once again

Looks stock and people oogle over the "old school" look and function.

Mine was only working one side when I got it two years ago,so I took the one out of my parts car which is 3 years newer,works great

Thanks, I thought about that after trying to set the time and date on the clock numerous times...it finally allowed me to set them last night.

86 GT still works pretty good but needs two new rear speakers some day.

[Jason2o]

I have a period correct and possibly model correct PS stereo in my car I have to replace the front left speaker (not doing so good), Im going to be putting the amp back in now that I have the wiring all repaired and routed properly.
It gives me a warm fuzzy having the stock parts in the car!

[JTurbo]

79 Pace Car = stock

84 Capri RS = stock

86 SVO = re-installed the stock (just replaced my aftermarket that went on the fritz)

[AnotherDave2]

The '84 lx I bought last year still has the original AM/FM cassette player and speakers. Although there are 2 AM push buttons. The FM must have been lost some time ago. I even aquired the former owners Charlie Pride cassette still in the player. Yikes!

[vascj]

mine still works...85 GT, basic version though, AM/FM no cassett. push buttons and roll knobs, pretty prehistoric but very retro.

do you guys find the key buzzer very loud or are my old ears just sensitive now?? man that thing is loud. Makes me not want to put the key into the ignition that dang thing is so loud....

79 pace car w/ 8-track works perfect! Did they go to cassette tape player during the year some time? I would like to get what radio came in my 81 cobra stock but can't remember what it was when i replaced it w/ an Alpine cassette? Anyone know or have a pic?

8-track and cassette were options. My '79 Wagon has the premium sound AM/FM cassette player.

[escogt]

Still got the stock radio in my '85GT.

[jaidedeye]

mine was a low option 82 GT when new so i mine cam with an AM/FM radio with no cassette

[IDMooseMan]

Resurrecting an old thread.

My car was originally a "Radio Delete" model that has an AM/FM Stereo/8-Track Player that was dealer installed. I have the factory front two 3.5" in-dash speakers, but no rear speakers.

I want to replace the front speakers with the Pioneer TS-A878 3.5" models and add two speakers to the rear. What speakers do you guys have installed in the rear? Will 6x9's fit without modifications or do I need to use 6x8's?
