I think i found a 69 am fm stereo for my bird in his stack of radios. it looks right but im not sure.

nobody ? i guess i can just take it and see if it fits.

If it still has the part number sticker on it (from the FAQ):

67 Firebird AM/FM 986824
68 Firebird AM 7305572
68 Firebird AM/FM 7305582
67-68 F AM Die-Cast Face Plate 7298249
67-68 F AM/FM Die-Cast Face Plate 7298474
69 Firebird AM/FM 92FFP1

It's not AM/FM, but does this help? (Someone else's pic.)

This radio looks like that but it has a slide button above the dial indicator to switch am/fm

I have a working AM radio actually 2, i just figured if i can get it for free. i'll swap it out.

i looked on the web, and find all sorts of pix . is the slide bar am/fm selector correct?

im actually happy with the am radio, as i have a brand new in the box fm converter from radioshack. talk about period correct!

You need an under-dash 8-track player to go with it.

You don't get stereo when you use the FM converter, right? I was tempted to do that as well when I replaced my radio but the no stereo thing changed my mind.

With an FM converter all it does is shift the frequency band, so no stereo.

im just going to do it cause it was soo 70's to see a converter in cars. And im not really gunna hear it too much anyway.

I have an original AM/FM (mono) radio in my 69. The band change (am-fm) is done by pushing one of the black buttons that also select pre-set stations. There's no slide bar gto select am/fm. Those are found on 'wonderbar' radios often used in Corvettes etc. The stereo am/fm has chrome buttons versus black plastic, but I believe the band selection is still done by one of those buttons, not a slide bar.

Maybe this would help

There is a company that will turn your am radio into a am/fm stereo using the same shell of the am radio just replaceing the insides. The last I checked they were still doing it, just takes a while. A little less cost than the firebird central radio they are selling,

Funny you mention it i have a 70's era pioneer 8 track and it works fine , yard sale 5 bucks..LOL

I have the schematics for the AM radio. i have 2 working and one not. as far as i can tell the only thing that makes it a unique radio is the push button length.
