What type of radio came in a '72 2.0? Were Motorola radios used?

Yes, but not nearly as common as Blaupunkt or Sapphire. It was also most likely installed @ the dealer & not the factory.

Wow, I missed that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Actually, a 72 2.0 is more commonly known as a 914-6 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

What ever was available at the dealership. Most cars came with the antenna installed and the dealer took it from there. Could be anything from a Audiovox 8 track, Blaupunkt, Becker, and Motorola.

Oops, my mistake '73 2.0 4 cylinder. Car I am in the process of acquiring. My first experience with 914's; been around Porches for the last 25+ years! but no 914's, so lots to learn. I ask about Motorola because when I dug this car out of storage there was an old Motorola radio sitting on a shelf near the car, which currently has a later model radio installed. Have no way to know if the Motorola was original.

That's why the locations vary, not only which side they're on, but fore and aft and how they sit on the fender. The Cap'n |
