When was the Yellow light MPX stereo introduced?

L78Impala has a friend with a very correct Z28 which appears to have its original Yellow Light muliplex stereo.

Bill, can you provide the build date for Mark's Dover White
Z28 and the date on the radio itself?

After talking with Mr. NICKY Nova, he told me that his 69 Z has a build date of the first week in June 1969. He will try to look for the date sticker on the radio. I will keep you posted if he finds it.

Stefano, you missed a good MOPAR show in Belvedere.

You'll have to let me know what showed up. I did score an NOS Shelby gauge which I needed at 'Skips', other than that I hate to say that it wasn't worth the trip.

Mr. NICKY Nova told me that he did find a sticker on his radio. He said that he could not find an identifiable date on the sticker. Is there a way to decode the date/sticker?

L78, According to this website http://WWW.Chevelles.com/radiotech/database.html The date is in the model number, but it is only the year. For example if the model # is 91BFM2 this means it is a 9=1969, 1=chevrolet, B=B body or full size car, FM= AM/FM stereo pushbutton with hidden MPX, 2=Second design run. My radio has an aditional sticker with a date of 5/14/9 that the website has no information on. Thank for the help guys.

Jerehiah,
I will pass the date info on. I will confirm if there is a date code. Also were the month / day / year separated by the forward slash in your indentified date? Let me know.

The main transistor in the back has a date code. Can't remember if it is visible on that model.

L78, No the date is not seperated by the forwad slash. I am assuming it is a date because of it fitting the build date of the car perfectly. Maybe that 9 means 79, Its a long shot but it could be possible that the radio was repaired on 5/14/ of 79? The sticker does not say Rebuilt it just has what apears to be a date. The car was assembled on the first week of june. Thanks for the help.

Thanks guys, Most people would care less if it was original or not. The thing I enjoy most about these old cars is the research. The most important thing I have learned is that anything could have and generally did happen from the factory. I get upset when people pick my car appart at the local club meetings. Those people are usually the ones who have read all the books and allready know everything about these old cars. We all know books dont have all the answers and sometimes the information can be wrong. This is a great website, thanks again for the help guys.

By the way my car was built the first week of June.

I picked up an 3976060 AP deepgroove pulley at Skips Today.
"How much?"
