Default Value question- 1970 8 track and radio

I bought a 1970 full size radio, amp and 8 track years ago that I was going to out in my 70 LeMans ..... surprise it doesn't fit!

What is this worth? I see some high prices on eBay and do not expect that- but also don't want to sell it all for $200.

Thanks in advance!

8 track (apart from the pedestal mount) is identical in all models so it will bolt into a 69-72 A body or a 69 F body also. I think $200-250 is the going rate for a nice looking (clean door, knobs and cover case) 8 track that may need an overhaul. Big car AM radio is probably worthless.

I would, no point throwing out the radio and your 8 track looks good esthetically so I'd leave it alone and if you later want to use it it will probably only cost $125-150 to service it and change the belt.

Good eyes scott, it is a two piece stereo, must be a very early 70 as they switched to the one piece. I'd say a big car stereo radio that isn't serviced is worth about $150 and a ready to go setup is about $300-350. Worth nearly double when restored

Thanks- maybe put it on eBay and see what it brings. I don't really have a need for it and I promised myself I would start cleaning out parts that I don't have a need for.

If the face plate of the radio is black its a 70, if its blue grey its a 69, otherwise they are interchangeable.

The "B" on the radio is for "B" body cars, not GTO or GP. As others stated it's early 70 stereo.
