anyone else done this because i want to, get a good looking older 80s alpine or kenwood and fit it to the stock location, doesnt matter to me if it works or not aslong as it lights up right, i could easily have my almost new 300 dollar pioneer hidden in the console or under the seat or something like that, i just love the look of some of these old head units and think they would look period perfect in my camaro

only downside is the insane price for one

 

some pics just for reference as to what i'm looking for love the soft green glow of the big buttons, i'd love that in the whole interior



idealy this one is perfect ^

 

just something big blocky and retro looking, also dont suggest the stock delco i have about 6 of those and just dont like there look

 

Why not the stock radio it came with? Seems like that would be the definition of period correct...

 

I to agree with jayhawk.

 

LOL, I took one of these out and put the stock radio back in. Maybe check the dump near Georgetown Ohio.

Of course I am going for the stock look so an aftermarket radio is not an option.

 

I have a 1.5 DIN Jensen new but w/o brackets I'll let go cheap.

 

well i can see it was read carefully lol, and as stated i dont likethe look of them, pics of said jensen without brakets? i have brakets and installation kits and all kinds of crap i could use to make it work

 

did this just happen o.0

 

Yes. Yes it did lol I've gotten a few emails from threads where this hit popped in with some random crap, apparently spamming a forum is more productive than a blog

 

well, i should hope they get banned

 

I have seen this several times on this forum. Luckily for all of us the Moderators or someone else in power has been banning them rather quickly. Can we give a BIG hand to the Moderators. GOOD JOB.

The Clarion pic you posted is very similar to several other models. All the models that I am familiar with from back then started with the ARX prefix and had a very similar look. I have seen them for sale rather cheap on Ebay many times. I had one back in the mid 90's.

 

i've seen cheap ones on ebay too, always the same thing though "not working sold for parts as is" but honestly if i just want it for the looks i dont suppose that'd matter much

 

That is a possibility as I haven't looked for one of them for 5-10 yrs now. I am real happy with my 8-10 yr old Alpine.

 

i'd love an old alpine, specifically the one pictured just not for 230 dollars
