8 track

Tyler, I bought my 74 Dart new in 1974. It came with AM only and 8 tracks were still the rage. The Dodge dealership that sold me the car said they did not offer 8 tracks for my A body. I looked at many aftermarket units in 1974 and 1975, however I did not want to cut the dash bezel. What mid 70s year Scamp do you have? The unit swing69 may be a good fit.

I still have over 100 eight tracks and several players including underdash mounted units. My college son loves the 8 tracks and my choice in music. We chose to have a local electronics store owner who owns several 70s Darts alter the OEM Chrysler AM/FM unit we bought to play our ipod. He uses the 8 track in his colege room. It's a great nostalgic conversation piece that many 18, 19, 20 year olds have never seen.

You might like the idea of an original 8 track player, but the sound quality of today's radios/ipods is much better than 8 tracks. Also when the player "eats" one of the tapes and you have to take the unit out of the dash to remove the bundle of tape, you'll see why 8 tracks went the way of the dinosaurs. Not to mention they are bulky. However, I do miss them.
