Sam (Bones) Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 what's your zip code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Bones, Sometimes it's a burden to want it "Just like it came from the factory". I here you there but I figure my first monties clock packed it in in 1973 (Canadian winters)I would go for the traditional look with the new goodies in it already. If you don't take the clock apart you would never no it wasn't the original so I'll go with it as I also want the original look to my car and it cost's a bundle to get that look !!! The dash is almost done now ......finally! What do you think ? Look like it rolled off the assembly line ? terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toppless72 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Bones, the zip here is 45320. Buster, That is one amazing looking Dash!! I had a 72 with that color interior back in 75. It didn't look as good as your does now! Mine was buckets/console too. The one I have now is bench. I have everything to switch it to buckets but I have the build sheet and it says bench so I'm having trouble making the choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 The only problem with the quartz clock conversions is that they don't make any of the grinding and clunking noises like the original. It sure sounds like the original clock is a simple wind-up clock with a 'lectric motor to occasionaly wind up the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusdude Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I checked out the link to Shiftworks ...and they are about a 10 minute drive from my house!!!I didn't even realize they were local.

Toppless72 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Buster, I see your car has the 8 track in it. Mine does too but it's just the AM 8 track stereo. No FM I was wondering if you have one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Holly rot; nice find! No I don't have that one. That is a rare fin indeed. The 8 track in mine does work but sounds as good as it ever did (bad !) I run a aftermarket one (Sony explode)in the glove box as I drive a lot a miles. terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toppless72 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yea, I thought it was a good deal for 20 bucks because, where else are you going to find one. The best part is it still plays and it sounds pretty good. Not my choice in music but hey... It works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Pretty nice find there, Ill bet it shows the pure quality of the 1972 Chevrolet audio system!! I think thats a real neat item to have with the car though. Tony Any particular songs on there, or just music to enjoy? Id be curious as to a songlist if there is songs on it.

Toppless72 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Most of what is on it is “Goodtime music by the Chevrolet Orchestra” but some of these are by the original artists. Songs Theme from “Love Story” I’ll be home Southern Rider What the world needs now Say a little prayer Everybody’s out of town We’ve only just begun Does anybody really know what time it is? Treat For the good times Ring of fire Tennessee Waltz What have they done to my song? Ob-la-di Ob-la-da! One less bell to answer Mame I want to be happy Tea for two The impossible dream This land is your land The battle hymn of the republic God bless America Then it has some waltzes and classical stuff no one has ever heard of.
