    Your the one that planted the idea in my head! Your buddy is looking for a 70 not a 72! It'll look good hanging out of my 8 track player in the 72

    Haha, I was just going to mention that you did.

    I've been keeping my eye out for an 8 track for my car so I could do the same at the shows. Everyone always points it out on yours:

    "The black car is nice but LOOK HONEY! THIS ONE HAS AN 8 TRACK! REMEMBER 8 TRACKS!!!!A;LSKGJA;LSDKFASDFA;LDKFKLSDHG!!!!!!!!"

    I know, I was making fun of you, as I found something that you didn't even know you needed until I asked you about it. :>)

    I did. Its too bad that guy wants $100 for that clean one. The other two look a bit worn looking

    Just signed up to post this, I found one of these tapes at an estate sale. Had it restored by a friend who's an expert, new pads and the foil was replaced in addition to a new roller. Sounds spectacular.

    The "Fancy Colors in Sound is NOT the appropriate tape for 1972, it is dated 1972 bas it was produced in late 1972 for the 73 model year , it is correct for 1973.. The correct and proper tape for 1972 is "A Sound Step Ahead"

    It is MUCH harder to find, don't know why but the "Fancy Colors in Sound" are very common, maybe 73 was when 8 track popularity hit its stride

    Yep, as I said, 73 tapes are prevalent and good deals can be had, you still usually pay decent money for a sealed one though. Finding the earlier ones is a real challenge 67-70 is a real challenge
