Cool idea. I remember the 8-track in my dad's '78 Corvette. The audio was terrible, but I get the desire for the retro look.
Fun thread do you think I’m crazy?

At this point in time I see a tape player as being trouble prone. As old as an Eight track player would be I'd expect at least the rubber drive belt and pinch roller to have issues.
I suggest if you go this route check the unit out well and service it before use.

I'm approching 67 and want to go drag racing again really bad but doubt that's going to happen.....unless some one does something about my soon to be X....but even if she remarries, I doubt she's going to be lenient on me.

I wonder if this is the same Muntz of the "Muntz Jet" auto that was made in my home town?
Upon further homework, I find that it is, COOL!

Hey Fran you asked “Why?” The above responses are why.....
There are tons on ebay if I pick a popular model I will have all the spare parts I need!
Who cares about the sound quality for two reasons.
1. I may have only one speaker in the dash lol
2. When I run with the headers later thats the best thing to listen to!

Well Snakeyes at least she knows where North is lol
Hey if you want it do it. You asked for opinions so... Good luck with it.
Got one of those new fangled CD players in my daily driver, Doors a playin'.
Not crazy at all! My 68 RR came with just AM radio. Many years ago I scored a CLEAN Chrysler AM 8 Track radio and only needed to replace the belt. It works perfectly and I use it along with my FM Converter. Old School!!

She's my type.
I got these too somewhere with that one.

Okay.
Back OT.
I'd skip the 8 track.
More trouble than it's worth.
Crappy sound and failures.
Anyone know of other songs that mention the 8 Track?
Probably the best.
8 track .......... had a craig under dash unit myself with a pair of realistic wedge package tray speakers. Back then we / I thought it was a pretty hi tec set up LMAO.
Anyway 8 track and Doors tapes , sounds fun, just don't forget the head cleaner Q tips and must have book of matchs to get the tracking right. lol.

1967Coronet what do we do with the matches other than light up? How does one improve tracking with matches? Do I need to start a technical thread on this lol?

Still have an 8 track in my old motorhome. I have some tapes somewhere but I never listen to it. All I remember about those "good ol" 8 tracks is that just about the time you were really into a song it would stop and you'd hear this k-thud while it changed tracks and ruined the whole song.
