1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"

What radio is that?

The face is a modified 1964 AM piece I had in my “archives”.

And the radio is a 1966 Plymouth Fury AM/FM unit my uncle had in his “archives”. Lol.

Grandpa cleaned out the insides and made sure the circuitry was solid and it sounds like a million bucks with a decent set of modern 6x9s wired in series.

Here’s some before during and after pics.

Original AM radio we robbed the face from. It didn’t work.

The below picture was my first draft to hide the fm behind the am screen. It just made the dial confusing to read.

And below is the final finished product. A square push button 65 face would have been perfect. But we didn’t have one of those, and parts cost money, lol. So we modified a 1964 round push button to work.

Total cost. $3……the cost of the LED light bulb. Lol.
