1982 camaro 8 track 1982 camaros were the last to have a 8 track player, I was just wondering if anyone had one in there car? Or a picture of one, i have never seen one before and was just curious what one looked like. thanks |
Re: 1982 camaro 8 track +1 I had no idea they had 8 track players in third gens! |
Re: 1982 camaro 8 track Only 3,531 AM/FM stereo 8-track units (RPO YE3) were installed in Camaros in 1982. This was only about 2% of Camaros built that year. I've never seen one either. It was an expensive option, at $446, so I have to think it was electronically tuned and similar to the top-level cassette stereo which was $441. Maybe someone with a 1982 brochure can shed some light on this. |
Re: 1982 camaro 8 track i have a pic of the all the optioned radios in my '82 trans am owners manual. |

Even though it was only 2%, over 3500 of them is still a lot. My guess is most didn't make it more than a year or two before they were swapped out for cassette players, and that's why nobody remembers seeing one. haha. i bet some guy had a nice ****** flapping out the t tops blaring his kraco or sparcomatic dual knob. :nod: |
Re: 1982 camaro 8 track Just looked thru my 82 camaro brochure and the 8 track radio is listed but there is no picture of it |
Re: 1982 camaro 8 track Could be the same one used in the 1982 Corvette. |

Re: 1982 camaro 8 track My bad right about the 82 Vette. Btw, the 8 track really tried to hang on. Pretty pricey on its option price back then. |

Re: 1982 camaro 8 track Thats a new thing to learn about, an 8 track in an F-Body. Thats pimpin' !! |
Re: 1982 camaro 8 track Now I feel old!! I had NO IDEA 8 tracks were still hip in the early '80s! I remember when casettes were "all the rave" LOL! It would be nostalgic to see if someone can post-up a photo of one in a 3rd gen! [ I think the OP would too..?..] Now that CDs are on the way out, you young ones will reflect on the days the CD players were "all that":nod::lmao::nod:!! |
Re: 1982 camaro 8 track i bought one of those 8-track players for parts about 15 yrs ago-it was really beat up and i have not seen another since. '82 was the last year 8-tracks were sold in most stores-(the last new one i bought was steve miller band"abracadabra"back in'82) after '82 record clubs still sold many titles on 8-track through about 1987!:eek: -guns-n-roses on 8-track:lmao: i still have scads of 8-tracks,the newest i have is"heartbeat city"(the cars 1984):) |

Re: 1982 camaro 8 track Ive seen some of the 8 track players on 82 cars that have been for sell before on ebaymotors. Usually everytime i see one though, they were very standard camaros, some ive seen without ac options, manuel roll up windows, manuel locks. But ive actually seen a couple dozen of them on ebay before. |

Re: 1982 camaro 8 track IMO 8 tracks have always been the black sheep of the audio world. I never liked them because they were more bulky but after using them for a short while I started to like them more. I think it would be fun to have one in a car because they are so unique, but the sound quality wouldn't be that great. Nice find on the images and information. :thumbsup: |
