Question on correct 365 BB radio - 1973

I have a friend with a 1973 365 bb. (Lucky man...) He needs to find the correct radio.

Did they come from the factory without a radio? Or was it installed at the dealer? Or should have a blank plate without any radio. Can you guys and gals suggest some models that you have seen that are correct? Becker? Blaupunkt?

Thank you for your time.

Typically whatever was new in 73 and dealer or owner installed. Mine (79) has a blaupunkt goose neck, others have a becker because thats what was wanted. They all came with speakers and an antenna but thats it.

 

Becker and Blaupunkt look better in those older euro cars. Other brands look wrong in my opinion.

 

Find a nice old Becker Mexico ! Top Of The Bill those days ...

 

The correct unit was a Voxon sonar 8 track player.

 

Although it is itemized on my bill of sale from Ferrari UK as fitted when it had finished its duty so as demo car.

 

This is period on correct for 73/74

I doubt that Nick ....

Never heared or seen that brand in EU F cars ... as we always saw German Blaupunkts or Beckers

Indeed

 

Daytona's Dino's and boxers most defiantly have Voxon radios instaled. Voxon was the Italian brand at that time. Look at there values on eBay !

 

So I guess to properly answer the OP the question would be ''where was the car sold when new'' then make a decision.

 

Yes I think that is correct. As a car built in 73 it is a very early version and as with all boxers it would never have been destined for the US.

 

My 365bb came with a Voxon, as well...

 

Thanks fastradio, I was starting to feel quite alone for a while there

 

Look in the owners manual and a sale brochure too.

Mine had a Voxson radio as well. 74 car.

I was wrong, it was delivered from the factory with a Voxon radio according to the paperwork

Yes same with my 365.

the Voxson sounds ok when the engine isn't running

interesting to see how similar your delivery sheet is compared to my one.

 

You all are rock stars. Thanks much for the information to assist my friend.

I love the BB. Built one as a plastic model as a kid. Love the yellow lenses.

I took this of mine today. It's on the original invoice too. U.K delivery car.
