Sorry Pascal for going off topic! 

More pics of:

A) Padawan's radio
B) More vintage factory 8-track/cassette decks
C) Padawan's alien like creature behind the front fender
D) More bacon from Phil's dash
E) More Homer Simpson
F) The fuzzy stuff on top Phil's dash
G) Other
 


Pascal, what's the switch for under the dash with the red light next to it?  YOu have these little interesting switches on your car!

I have no idea what this one does! This car has so many interesting things, I think I should make a plan in which order I fix what and in which order I find out what does what.

As fun as the bacon is, I would like to see more pics of actual 8 track factory set ups.

I have never had my hands on the special trim piece under the 8 track. 

That being said, I would like one.

Here is a picture of one I sold a few years back. You can see a groove in the bezel. meaning the bezel was from a 71.

Hey Mike,

If you are talking about the groove under the 8-track cassette hole, they all have that, see how yours has the sharp edges that meet up with the dash ? If the groove was there instead of the sharp point it would make it a 70-74 Barracuda or 71-74 Challenger, but in fact your one is a 1970 Challenger only 8-track bezel buddy

that's alright mate, there is not that much difference in price with 8-track bezels, think of it as you did someone a favor more so

Lots of other good parts

Found this while browsing, it's only at 99$ for now, 2 days left:

Is this the real deal? It is missing those protrusions at both sides on the bottom metal front. Also the VOL/BAL/TONE/SEL lettering is missing. I found an identification page with some details here:

@MEK, you sure yours was a Challenger Bezel? On the site linked above they claim that the ridge around the character line is typical for Cudas?

[hemiken]

See how this Blue dash bezel has a sharp edge to it where it meets the dash, this is 1970 Challenger only 8-track part.

Note that it has the groove under the opening But like Mike said, it should have a hole to the left with a selector rod coming out of the bezel.

[hemiken]

See this Black 8-track has a similar groove under the opening also, but it also has the groove running around the edge, this is a 1970-71 Barracuda and 1971 Challenger 8-track part and this one has the correct hole for the selector in it also.

Thanks Kenny.  I have not had one of those.
Looks like I need one for some strange reason.
