The original owner of my car removed this radio in 1986 when the car was still new.. He installed a high end Alpine system and stored this DIN radio. It is in perfect, mint, NOS condition..
I'd like $50 shipped for it..
(it fits lots of Fords from different years, not just 86)
you can email me at kevin.schofield@sprint.com if you are interested..
pictures later tonight.
EDIT: Here are the pictures~

You should keep it... If you ever decide to sell it or just want it back to original it will add value. While due to the amount of those radios I doubt it will ever be worth a lot, but in another 10 likely it will be worth twice what you are asking.
The '60s-'70s AM/FMs are worth $250-$500, especially IF it fits a muscle car... But then again they are not all that common. I'm gonna make some money on ebay with a '67 GTO(big demand), '66 Impala(worth nearly as much as the GTO radio), '70 F-100(not sure on this one, but really rare), and '66 Mercury(so so) AM/FMs.
I thought about that, but I really have no intention of ever selling my car.. When you find one this good you keep it as long as possible till it just can't be fixed anymore. If I ever did sell, the value won't be hurt by the aftermarket deck in there.
Since the radio is so mint, I thought someone else might want it for thier car to keep it stock or to fill a hole when they remove thier aftermarket stuff.
i got a radio out of these cars from the junk yard once just bc it was so cool just am fm no tape deck. this was in a base 3.8l cougar with power nothing just brakes and steering. this car was bare. had tan interior also .
