I have this radio out of my 70 Chevelle.
Even though my car came with an AM-FM 8-track stereo, I've been told that this is not the original one for my car.
Can someone tell me what year this one might be?
Hopefully you can read the tag thats on the side.

Looks like a 71-72 radio. Maybe you can get a new lens to make it appear like the stock one.

Hi Brian

I agree is's probably a '71/'72. You need a lens with green numbers/letters like the dash gauges.

Although it is the same unit as the 71, 72, I believe this is a 76 unit. The model tag starts out with a six which desingnates 76. The delco emblem on the door also is a characteristic of the 76 unit.

Thanks Guys!
3 more questions,
Where do I find the correct lens for my radio?

How hard is it to replace?

I assume you need to completely disasemble the radio, correct?
