Factory 8 Track Player?

[Chevys10dr]

Found a factory 8 track on a local buy and sell site, price seams right, the ting looks mint and it works, but what would you pay?

Sorry forgot a pic

I would pay $100.00 for it in working condition. The amount is based off of how bad I would want it for my truck.

Wow thats awesome

I think it would bring $500 plus if it is indeed a truck 8 track player. I personally would not buy it for that amount as I am content with an am/fm, but there are many who would like it as an addition.

How rare were they ?

I sold one on here a month or so ago for 800.00 in worse condition than the one you have.

Man,that truck is flyin' high with AM/FM/8 track! And,what is that to the right under the dash,a tissue dispenser? I'm also curious about the Dark Green glovebox door and interior trim colors. Looks like a nicely over restored truck,meaning nice but not correct

Very nice set up, looks complete. The support brackets appear to be the correct ones for the truck.

I would pay up to $800.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Is it really that Rare to pay for it for $800 ?

[westong]

When I was selling mine I had 3 guys willing to pay 800 and one guy wanting to pay me more if I would back out of the original sale to brian. Sure seems like people will pay it.

Rarity drives the price up. Just like an actual truck AM/FM radio (and many hard to find OEM accessory items) from this time period. People that have the money to spare will spend quite a bit to get an original piece.

Pretty much applies to anything old or rare for that matter.

I have a Original 1959 GMC FM Radio, is that Rare ?

They weren't exactly like the accessory book. Notice the am/fm radio doesn't even remotely come close. These are correct though the brackets are wrong. There are 3 brackets total to an eight track mount for our trucks, 2 connect to the bottom of the dash and one connects the back of the player to the heating duct down by the floor.

This has got to be a fake GM 8 track player though. Buyer beware. My 2 factory 8 track players have a smaller "GM" font, these may just be a sticker on a blank pontiac tape door. Factory GM doors are engraved with the letters.
Here is a comparison shot:

Thanks for the responses, I haven't bought it yet, what he is asking for it seems to be it the ballpark, I just wanted to get a price guide of what I should be paying compared to what he is asking. I am going to contact him tonight to get more details, like the model tag on the back.

Thanks 71blksuper4x4 i was hoping you would respond, I've seen you post on these before, I know brackets are incorrect. When I get all the info I will post and see if its a correct.
