Product Description
An AM/FM stereo radio was a rare option in a 1970 Camaro, and many second-generation cars left the factory with AM only. This reproduction 1970 Camaro AM/FM/Stereo Radio with Bluetooth looks like the original stereo radio but works like a modern unit, so your dash keeps its period appearance.
Looks Original
The listing highlights how closely the radio matches the factory piece:
- Quality chrome-plated faceplate and knobs that match the original radio
- AM/FM "roll-over" dial scale that looks and works like the original
- AM or FM band selected with a slide bar, like the original
- Analog controls that look and feel like the original radio
- 7/16" shafts that match the original mounting
- Fits the dash without modifications
Works Like a Modern Radio
- 4 x 45 watts RMS, for up to 180 watts of audio power
- Digitally tuned AM/FM stereo front end for stable, high-quality reception
- Volume, bass, treble, balance, fader and tuning from original-looking controls
- Inputs for MP3 players, iPods, CD players or satellite radio
- LED dial lights that will never need replacing
- Amber stereo indicator, and a dial face that lights green
- European channel spacing optional
As the title notes, this is the Bluetooth version, so you can stream music from your phone as well.
Build the Rest of the System
Options on this page let you add:
- A front dual voice coil speaker for the dash, carrying both stereo channels through one speaker
- A rear 6x9 speaker pair, either Custom Autosound or upgraded Pioneer
- An antenna: hideaway or power antenna
With four channels of power, the radio can drive front and rear speakers for full stereo sound in the Camaro's cabin.
Why a Reproduction Stereo Radio
Original 1970 Camaro stereo radios are hard to find and expensive to restore, and even a restored original will not play your own music. A reproduction like this keeps the look that judges and enthusiasts expect while giving you dependable digital tuning and modern inputs. Because it uses the same shaft spacing and mounting, it goes into the dash just like the original.
Before You Install
Confirm the car is 12-volt negative ground and inspect the wiring behind the dash before connecting the radio. Use a fused power source and a solid ground. If you are not comfortable with automotive wiring, a qualified auto sound shop can install it. Vintage Car Radio sells the radio and accessories but does not offer installation.
