1968 Parisienne 8 track


Can somebody post pics of what a factory installed 8 track player would look like in a 68 Parisienne...with console shift?

                                                                                                           Thanks

I removed one from a 68 Parisienne ragtop years ago. It's in pieces, but if you really need me to I could piece it back together to show what it looks like.   The ashtray mounts into the whole assembly.

Some pics would be good...even if it's not totally together....

Is it a keeper...or would you part with it?

Please see attached.  If I recall, I took it apart as the 8 track faceplate was peeling.   I later got a replacement faceplate, so that's now installed.

No idea if it works, but it looks ok.  The woodgrain on the ashtray is peeling, I presume the original ashtray could be used.

I don't know if its the same for a 68 but I acquired a similar 8 track player for a 67 using the ashtray ring mount and it interferes with the console. (8 track unit is too deep.)   I kind of think you couldn't get an 8 track with a console but I stand to be corrected.

I can't speak for 67, but I know for 68 the top forward hump of the console is removed, then a flat plate is installed in its place that should allow enough clearance for the Pontiac 8 track.  A similar flat plate is used in 69 & 70 2+2's as the Pontiac 8 track mounts on top of the plate.

The awkward thing here is we're mounting a Pontiac 8 track player in a car with a Chevy Impala console.
