'76 308 GT4 (Euro) Radio

Urs

To the best of my knowledge 308 GT4's never came from the factory with a radio fitted.They were factory pre-wired with speakers however.

Radio's were always dealer fit/aftermarket. This continued with the release of the 308 GTB/GTS range and the 328 series....


Cheers,

Pete

 

Becker and Blaupunkt in early euro cars. Alpine in later USA cars. if my memory is correct.

 

I have a Becker radio in my '74, however, I have no idea if it was installed by the selling dealer back in '74 or not....

Becker Mexico in my 74.

 

Blaupunkt became the most commonly installed units in the USA, and I believe the UK, as well by 1975. My GT4 has a Blaupunkt, although it's beginning to die.

 

My 75 has a Pioneer unit fitted, Pioneer were a supplier for the F1 team at the time!!

Regards,
Phil.

 

This is the Blaupunkt in my low miles 85 911 Targa.

The radio in my U.S.-spec 308 GT4 is a Blaupunkt CR-4096 and is a AM/FM stereo cassette deck, which from what I can determine was installed from new...

I've been thinking of replacing it with one of these (so I can plug in my iPod easier, rather than using a cassette-body adapter that I currently use):

Mine is the same as Peter's. (76 GT4 US-spec)

 

Not a 76 (77 I think), but a Euro dealer installed Blaupunkt set-up. A bit messy.

That's the Blaupunkt Berlin, which was the top of the line (and outrageously expensive, it must have been the most expensive stereo at the time), Blaupunkt at the time.

 

I remeber seeing some BB's with pioneer supertuners with a ferrari logo on them.

 

I was going to go the classic route but changed my mind. I put in a Clarion that has a brushed aluminum finish to the knobs. It looks like it belongs in the car even though it is clearly modern...
