67 Shelby w/ AMFM radio

[shelbyhertz66]

Hi All,
So I was wondering if a 67 Shelby has an AM/FM ford radio
that was factory installed would that be noted on the Marty report?
my car has one but it could have been installed by a previous owner.
Thanks for any ideas.

It's my understanding that 67s, if ordered with a radio, were only given AM radios.

Others can correct me if I'm off  .

Not sure on the 67 details, but it would be a Marti report item almost certainly because it requires modification to the doors

      I bought my '67 GT350, brand new ( right off the showroom floor ), in May, of 1967,  at Rich Ford,
      Albuquerque, NM. It was delivered, with the Ford AM radio.

      I think most, if not all, '67's, got the AM radio.

The 67 Shelby with a AM FM is very rare . I think Dave Mathews the registrar said something like one or two from the factory. I don't know if that number has changed with new info. The 67 AM FM is mono only so there is no modifications to the doors like for the AM 8 track which was stereo. Only 1 speaker in the dash for AM FM .Dave will have to confirm but I don't think there were any AM 8track factory installed in 67.

My car came with AM/FM and is included in the dealer invoice, but not Marti report.  It may have commonly been done as a dealer installed upgrade at the time instead of factory.

+1 . A very common occurrence however not many have a dealer invoice to support the claim.

If it happened at the factory it would be on the Marti Report. If it happened at any time after the car left Ford then it would not be on the report.

Hi All,
Thanks for the great input , always good help from folks here.
So my doors are not modified.  This car has quite a lot of documentation
but no dealer invoice and it's not mentioned on the Marti report.  The radio works
fine so no plans to change it . I rarely listen to it anyway as the sound of the solid
lifters happily clattering away is much more soothing to the ears..

Its a great upgrade

No problems with a modification. For others I would suggest not cutting doors, but adding speakers elsewhere

+1 . Kick panel speakers are a easier aftermarket upgrade if adding speakers elsewhere available from most larger vendors.

  I've seen this somewhere: the factory AM/FM was not available from the factory until after December 15th of 1966.
   66, 67, 68 was the dawn of time for the FM band.

  Coralsnake is correct, it is a nice upgrade.

I thought the FM radios were not available until March of '67.

[Royce Peterson]

+1 no one I know would object to it being there. Especially if it works!
