Default Re: Stupid Accessory I couldn't resist

When I was a kid, I installed a factory AM-FM in a '65 Mustang. When I sold the car, I took the radio out and sold the radio separately. I think I got $900.00 for it and that was a long time ago. They were harder than hell to find even 40-years ago. I wish I would have kept it; I would have installed it in my '66 GT-350. I also had a '66 convertible with a factory 8-track, I didn't keep that either, At least I kept the Shelby I bought in 1982, I couldn't afford it now. Back when people were still driving early Mustangs for transportation I always stopped and looked inside everyone to see what options they had. I never saw a factory 1965 AM-FM radio except for the one I had. I saw a few 1966 Mustangs with factory 8-tracks in them. 99% of the time there was just the plain old AM radio in there. Unless somebody had hacksawed out the dash and added an aftermarket unit. Don't forget to cut big holes in the doors or rear panels for the speakers to. I hated to see that butchery even when I was a kid.
