8-Track Player for a '75?
My Dad & I have a BUNCH of old 8-Tracks and was wondering if '75 had factory 8-track player. I've been looking for an aftermarket but can't seem to find one....not even on ebay.

The first year that Corvette was available with a tape player was 1977.
The radio opening in the 68-76 center gauge bezel, wasn't big enough to accommodate a tape player. The dash of the 77 was redesigned, so that a factory in dash tape player, could be offered.
Prior to 77, if a Corvette owner wanted a tape player, they either had to cut up the radio opening in the gauge bezel (which many of us did), or find some place to mount an under dash unit.
