Found this wire that seems to have been connected somewhere behind the radio or dash and it’s tucked away in the glove compartment. I still have the stock ford am/fm radio in the 79 so I’m guessing it’s not an aux cable
Any ideas?

That looks like a headphone jack that somebody added.

Def not a Ford OEM part. Someone added something maybe to the radio? Did you trace it back?

Not sure why they’d go through the trouble on a mono stereo

My guess? They had a Walmart Boom Box in the back and used it to feed the amp.

I had a setup just like that in my 81 Celica Hatch.
