call PY member Jim Shepard (j69shep) in Arizona, his email is jpony65@aol.com or call him at 480-235-1964.
He restored my 8-track and does great work on radios as well.

This guy did my 71 AM/FM and the 8-Track as well. Did an outstanding job and was reasonable on his pricing. I had him add an iPod connection that I routed over to the glove box while he was doing it.

X2 on Wards. Very reasonable for the top quality work they do.

Howard Folds you can reach at mrgrandprix@att.com. I have had him do all my radio's and 8-tracks. He sells 8-tracks, reverb's, and radio's on ebay you can check his rating over 6400 and 100%. Does excellent work and great prices and with a warranty.

Jim Shepard did my am/fm on my 67 Gp and added an ipod/mp3 port. Great job, quick turnaround, and reasonable. I highly recommend.

that is his cell number so maybe he changed it since a few months ago. Email was good last time I sent him one earlier this year so probably better to try that.

Email Was just returned. Unable to deliver.

Plan B please. My car is currently undergoing interior restoration from Forrest in Georgia.
He suggested I get this restored while he's working on interior so he can reinstall.

Here is a recent youtube of a '69 Firebird AM-FM with reverb and MP3 jack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_6r-yqET8U

Highly recommend his services!
