    Refurbished 1968 Delco AMFM radio with fader and bluetooth. The bluetooth option allows any streaming service to play through this radio from your phone. To enable BT simply press the 5th preset button lightly and connect to DROK_BT in your phones Bluetooth settings. To disable simply push the 5 preset button again and normal radio operation returns. This radio has been fully refurbished electro mechanically. All filter capacitors have been replaced as well as pre amp transistors in the audio section. All radio tuning stages have been tuned for max gain on AM and FM. The tuning mechanism has ben cleaned and lubed and the radio tunes smoothly up and down the dial. This radio is correct for a 1968 A body Buick (Skylark, GS, and GSX). If anyone wants to use this in a 69-72 I can change the dials and buttons to match any of those years at no extra cost. I am located in Scottsdale, Arizona and the price of this radio is $475 plus $22 for insured USPS priority shipping. I accept paypal and personal checks. This radio is ready to ship immediately. I offer a 10 year warranty on all sales. I also offer repair services for Delco AM,AMFM, and 8 track players. My turnaround time is running about 7 days at this time. For a video of this radio text me at 480-235-1964 Thanks and good luck!

    That is very cool and tempting. I want it, but I have too many other things to do on my car before I am ready for a radio...

    Good Luck with the sale!

    In line pending a few questions

    (1) This is conversion where all the guts have been converted to modern radio to make it 45 Watts per channel with 4 channels?

    (2) Do you have to run 10 ohm speakers or does the conversion allow you to run modern speakers?

    (3) Do you have serial number on radio?

    68 AM/FM Buick Skylark/Special/GS is Delco 7302514 I believe.

    I have another 68 AM/FM Buick Delco 7302514 that I was planning to get converted.

    (4) Do you do these conversions for other radios?

    I have a 62 Corvair Delco 985159 I want to get converted for my dad’s 62 Chevy II. It looks the same as 62 Chevy II but really want an actual Chevy II Delco 985189 but haven’t found one. We can take this question in PM if you do the conversions.

    Thanks.

    1) This is not a conversion. It retains all of its original electronics and I add a bluetooth module internally. It puts out the standard 5-6 watts of power.
    2) Since the radio is still 99% stock it needs 8-10 ohm speakers as the output load.
    3) 7302514
    4) yes I can add Bluetooth to an AM or AMFM radio of this era as long as I have the schematic.
    Text me anytime 480-235-1964. Currently radio repairs/conversions are running about 7 days. I can definitely do a Corvair radio.
    I am a Electrical Engineer. 39 year experience. Semiconductor research and development. I have been restoring Delco radios for 20 years now.
