NOS Cassette Radio - $450

[NV93Cobra]

My 93 GT has this style stereo. it's premium sound. I believe this is the other style used on 93 Cobras. Mine says reverse rather than Side 1-2.

[aaronlstiles]

That is the Base cassette deck, , the one you pictured, is a NON premium sound. Maybe GT's don't come with premium sound, its an option

I as well as others have the above pictured radio, I can confirm with the original owners of some that the radio has never been replaced. There is another thread about this already.

Ok let me get this straight people are paying close to $500 bucks for these refurbed ford tape decks? geesh.. I’ve got like five of these turds just collecting dust. I do have a few "better than gold$$$" foxbody cd players. An they have always been worth something but not the tape decks! I swear every mustang I see at the salvage yard I’m gonna yank the stereo out and put it in my hoarder supply!

[NV93Cobra]

CD players seem worthless to me. I'd much rather have my tape player, then I can hook my iPhone up to it via a tape adapter. I haven't bought a CD in 10 years.

the electronic wizards can manually wire a dongle in any radio deck for your apple junk to play in them

I have NEVER seen a 93 Cobra with the Base Cassette play! I have owned at least 50, and every ORIGINAL car I have owned has had the Correct Premium One in it, also ever original Cobra I have seen on e-bay has had the correct one in it. I would like to see some pictures of original owner cars with the Base Cassette head unit in it. Seeing is believing!

[1993cobra]

so cause you havent seen it , it doesnt exist? lol next time you come to texas stop by. i bought one in my garage from the original owner , he is in his seventies now says the radio has never been out. oh and has the amp under the seat connected. only difference i see is the face . appearantly you havent been around new cars much the factory will put whatever they have available in a car , . i get some pics for you .

[aaronlstiles]

No, but I don't bealieve everything I hear either, just cause someone says it's so doesn't me it is. Yes I am very aware of how ford uses what they have when they run out of stuff. Like my 2014 Shelby, it was missing a few push pins from the cowl cover.

However in the case of the radio, Just cause they used it, doesn't mean it was supposed to be there, also if he is the original owner, do you have the window sticker?

And yes they amp will still work in the cheaper radio, I never said it wouldn't. Out of the 50 I have owned, none of them came with the Cheaper head unit. Does that mean none did, maybe not. I just find it strange you have the only one that has one in it.

I know lots of old farts that have swapped stuff out, and whats to say it was not swapped out before it was sold new? Say it was a leftover and a lot tech wanted a nicer stereo, easy enough swap out. I worked on the lot back in 90/91 and I seen lots of that going on back then. No one looked at these as collector cars back then.

All I'm saying is, all 93 Cobra's has Premium sound Standard, which by FORD's Criteria, meant The Premium Head unit.

[JohnLynch]

anyone have a picture of a premium sound radio? Does it actually say that on there? I checked my cars one has a cd one has a cassette but none say that......

[aaronlstiles]

The only place you will premium sound marked is on the speakers, sounds stupid, but true.

[scootro]

mine came with an alarm, tape player, cd changer, and radar detector that says ford on it

[SPEEDFREEK]

OK here is what I thought was the only premium sound cass. This is in my Cobra.


However this is in my 93 Feature Car.


Here is the window sticker on it.


So maybe out of the 40 or so Cobras I've owned I just havent had one with the cass in question?

[JohnLynch]

Speed, mine has the one on top too...
