what mopar radio fits a 1970 dodge challenger
« on: February 23, 2013 - 08:40:36 PM »
Does any one know if any other mopar radio will fit a 70 challenger, without modifications? Or a aftermarket?

I have seen an early 70's model C-body AM/FM in a 70-Barracuda, looked ok but as I understand it the locating pins and mounting had to be modified. By '74 the radios were bigger. I speculate a pickup from the early to mid 70's may work with modifications. More info http://www.wardsclassiccarradiorepair.com/id15.html
Any new Single DIN sized head unit will work although some may have a problem clearing the lower trim...This is what I did http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=21379.msg516377#msg516377
If looks are paramount there is an excellent/pricey option. https://www.yearone.com/Product/1966-74-a-b-e-body/amf49

A great option is http://www.radiosforoldcars.com/newradio0F.htm . These radios look original including am/fm light but have the modern guts including 1/8 jack, rca out, subwoofer support and four speaker output. I have put a few of them in and they work great. You can order with the correct knobs for your application which is the chrome ones.
