Do you have a player?
For 8 tracks find your local restore, have to hurry tho because they go fast.

I had an under dash aftermarket 8 track player on my 66 Cyclone. Every morning on the way to school, me and my buddies would rock out with the likes of Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf, Three Dog Night, CCR, and occasionally we would listen to Cheech and Chong. 8 track was awful, but at the time it was state of the art.

Great Memories.

Bill, I owned that exact 8 track player. Viewing your photo really took me back. Thanks

No, I don't have a 8-track player anymore. I had one in my 1975 Nova (v8, four speed, modified with '68 Camaro Z28 spoilers from and rear, Z28 stripes added, and it was my company car!).

I still have both the car (s) and home units - both work. I never had issues with the 8 tracks.

Except on a good hole shot with my 68 Firebird the tape would come out and hit the back window.
