Was there an AM/FM thumb wheel radio available in 1970 for A-bodies? I would like to get a non-working one to have modern guts installed in for my 70 Dart to replace the thumb wheel AM that's in the car but wasn't sure if AM/FMs were available for 70 A-bodies. Also, will any other model/years of thumb wheel AM/FMs fit in a 70 Dart?

The 68-9 Barracuda AM FM will also fit the 70 Duster 340 and 70 swinger 340 rallye dash .
As mentioned, $ 500 + even for a non-working unit .

I have an AM thumbwheel that was converted into AM/FM with Kenwood guts that also had a jack for a CD changer and it worked great! I sold the car it was in but a friend of mine bought the car a couple years later and I ended up buying the radio back from him. I can't remember who converted it, maybe BML above?


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
