Pioneer SuperTuner!!!Same here!! I had 6x9's in real walnut, made by me in h/s woodshop boxes. I had long speaker wires and could put them in the bed while at the park. My vehicle was a '56 F100 'Vette yellow with a '57 T-bird 312 with blower heads and Isky RPM 300 cam. Forgot best part..was bored to take 4" SBC pistons.

Sam, you took the words right out of my mouth. Mine had the round radio tuning face and was mounted under-dash. I even made a wood panel in shop class to replace the stock package tray.

Ahh, makes me want to play Misty Mountain Hop...

Not quite vintage enough for a lot of guys here, though - the SuperTuner wasn't introduced until 1976! That Round dial was bigger than the height of the radio. Mine had cassette too, it was stolen out of my Nova while I was out drinking a few beers -- errr, while I was working late one night!

I remember a few different systems. One was a Clarion with a slide dial (no digital yet) and Jensen 4X6 and 6X9 speakers. Another car had a Kenwood head unit with Archer/Radio Shack speakers....those were the days.

My '56 Corvette still sports its Realistic 8-track under the dash, but get this: a Bradford (W.T. Grant)FM conversion unit that slides into the 8-track to give you FM radio. It still works perfectly in fact I have been driving this car this fall and listening to it just like I did at age 17. My old lacquer job (1974) is falling off but you can't see that when your're behind the wheel. The 4:56's are getting a bit much with the Corvette side pipes tucked up behind the rockers, might look for a 3:70 center section. How about this for a thrill: drove by a high school girlfriends parents house last Sunday, she happened to be in town and out front of the house, I pulled in driveway and they looked as if I was driving a spaceship, totally freaked them out, that Corvette had not shook the windows on that house for 30 years, we had a great laugh and a little tears too. I think I got her with the car in the first place.

I know the feeling George. This summer I drove my '62 '09 to my old high school friend's house for his dad's 80th birthday party. That car hadn't been in that driveway in 35 years, but when all the relatives and other old high school friends came over, they recognized the car, and knew I was there. They just stood around shaking their heads..... It was a time warp. Wish I was preserved as well as the car is.

PS: never put a sound system in that car. Always preferred to listen to the engine.
