Sorry bout the crap photos.
Looking at it now it may be HX as it has not got a yellow needle? I am positive it came from a HZ Caprice. (that was about 10 years ago) I didn't muck about when it came to taking as much of the original wiring as I could.
2jjj was the first fm station to go to air in oz and that was on the 1st august 1980...that radio is from an hz not an hx and like i said they are rockin horse shit as you could only get them late 79/80 in the hz series etc..
by the looks of it its tuned to JJJ
The j's here is 101.5Originally Posted by NickyG
I think it's 104.7 the crappy commercial station I call JJP.
(Jimmy, johnny and Phil) Cause that pretty much all you hear between the Harvey Norman adds
ie. Jimmy Barnes, johnny Farnham and Phil Collins

It is not about the journey,It is the style we travel in!
Hey Kiwivan
Put the decent sounds in the glovebox, you will could regret cutting up the fascia later, but on the other hand, it is your van and you do as you like....maybe swap a dash and make some bucks, everyone wants an unmolested dash...PS my daughter is in NZ atm so I will get her to swing by and bring it home with her lol....
cheers

Yeah I though so too until I found out it is to late period wise for my van. I thought it would be good because I could listen to FM and keep original. But knowing now that its not correct and that it is worth money is kinda temping.
But by the same reasoning the market for this would be very narrow as how many sandmans and monaros were built in that period and would have owners that want to spend that much??
I'll give it some thought.........

Sell it! Put a blanking plate over the hole in the dash and put a decent stereo in the glove box. It would only drive you mad with no digital tuning.
how do you figure that?
