another question...
my car has a power antenna (which isn't working to well)....is that factory?

is this the radio I need? or would work?

I don't think that will fit. At least the window is wrong. I've also never seen the plugs on the back for any stock radio.

Yup, that's the radio you need!!

The old radio guy that i got my FM converter from offered to convert the stock AM to AM/FM with stereo output and an MP3 input jack for $425. CDN. The conversion retains the original dial face and knobs so you can't even tell it's been done. I thought about it but decided it would be way cooler, and more period correct, if I went the FM converter route - can't beat that FM "Mono" sound cruising down the road with all windows down!

Before I were to bid on this radio, I'd ask the seller for some overall measurements. Those measurements should also include the area of the face of the radio that fits into your Coronets instrument cluster and radio bezel. I'd also want to verify the distance that both the volume and tuning nob assemblies come out from the radio to make sure that they will match up with your instrument cluster bezel as well.

Also notice that the original model 232 AM radio has a different shape on the back side of the radio. That is very important as space is very tight around and behind where the radio mounts.



And the shape of the front of the original model 232 radio is different from this Ebay model.



This picture gives you an idea of how close together all of the instrument panel parts are.

Regarding your Coronets power antenna, no, that would not have been a factory offered option on the B-Body cars in 1967. Only the C-Body models had that option in 1967. Your car would have come with a manual antenna, part number 2771983, which was also used on the 1967 A-Body cars.
