Help if you can I know almost all of you have radios in your Zs . I dont ,Just a hole where one was at one time. This the way the car was when I bought it , It has speekers in the back on either side. I have been trying on the net to find a unit but none of the brands have listing that go back that far. I dont want one that will blow out the windows just a receiver that is AM/FM & C D . I think one that has a removable face is a good idea ,what do you think ? Who makes a unit that will fit ? Thanks Gary Portland Or

I have a 71, and I put in a removable faceplate Blauplunkt AM/FM/CD with about an hour of trimming the dash pannel. I just needed to enlarge it about 1/16". Mine has a panel that goes behind the dash that locks into the radio to hold it. Getting it all to fit was a hassel, but it comes in and out in minutes.
I wound up putting in an amp and rear 6x9s cause Z are pretty loud. All of the stock speakers in mine were crap, and were mounted to plastic panels, wich make poor enclosures, and tend to rattle.
I'll post pics, but I'm waiting on getting a new computer to unload my HP camera into.

Chromeshadow is right on. The orig. car's only took old-style shaft-mount radios. These are only avail. in AM/FM/Cassette styles that require a faceplate mounting kit and connectors to the orig. wire harness.

The orig. speakers are 4" max. that are mounted in the side panels; the OE setup was very poor quality.

These were the first things I fixed on my car.

I also put a Blauplunkt Honalulu in my 71. I had to trim about an 1/8 inch. Very good fit and it even looks older than these new CD players with all the mess on the front cover.

You can make any reciever work in there, you'll just have to do some trimming. Remember, the stereo will only blow the windows out if you turn the volume up loud enough to do it. I've got a nissan truck with 660 watts of stereo power, and I haven't blown the windows out yet... But I'm trying!!!

I have a '72 that came with a hole in the dash. I didn't have to trim at all to get my Pioneer head (12 CD changer) to fit. The detachable face is a dandy idea until you stop removing it from the the car with you. Putting it in the glove box or hiding it is no good. And a pull out is an even worse idea because you only pull it out for the first couple of weeks and then it becomes a pain in the butt...except to the theives because....you guessed it, it pulls out. My stereo is pretty loud but I need it that way because the car is so loud. But it has never skipped and I am running a very stiff suspension package so I am greatful for that.
