    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.

    The correct unit was a Voxon sonar 8 track player.

    I doubt that Nick ....

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

    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.

    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.
