Digging through my junk ..i mean parts today , i found this radio .It is a AM FM 8 track .I think i know what it came out of ,does any one recognize it .It is intact ,no cut wires ,well missing the right side knob but i think i could find those .Not sure if it works but it probably does ,i don't think i would have kept it if it didn't. It has a Ford tag ,but not a Ford part number .

Am Fm radios are fairly rare for Mustangs and Am Fm 8 tracks are even more rare .Turns out this one is for a 71 -73 .Thought it may fit my 69 but it is about 1/4 to tall ,the 8 track part and the push buttons would fit perfectly but the upper two buttons are to tall to fit into the 69 bezel .
 
Bad company, Aerosmith, Eagles, and Pink Floyd. I had a Craig 8-track player that mounted on the floor in my 64 1/2 coupe. It was the size of a small portable TV and my alternator was so weak that my lights would dim each time the thing would change tracks.
