This was literally stuffed in my 70 radio hole, made it easy to remove.  No idea if it works.  Plan on pricing as an untested core. 

Believe it's for a C body, Chrysler 300, part number 2884544   Can someone confirm what it fits?  What's a reasonable price?  :notsure:  not expecting much.

I would think it would be worth something, either to a c-body guy or for parts.  $100-200 maybe?  It's fairly easy to bench test it and that would help sell it IMO.

Why don't you post a WIW on For C-Bodies Only.

Thanks, video is very helpful.  I will try that this weekend.

Have it posted on C bodies for 150 for a couple days.  Couple general comments, no hits.  To your point helps if it's known to work.  Otherwise it's probably more 50 - 100.

The AM may work, but testing the 8-track is a little more involving.

The radio is a 1970 Chrysler radio.  They can be made to work in an Ebody.

Yes, it can fit.   Photo is from my dash as it came before I pulled it.   The radio face is not a tight fit against stock bezels as the control labels are in the middle and the 8 track lip pushes out.   Easy to tell it's not right, but will be good enough for some.   I'd rather go with a cheaper am that's e body correct, if the actual correct one doesn't come home.
