There seems to be alot of confusion when it comes to 1970-1974 E body radios . I have created this page in an effort to
educate the general public about how to easily identify a genuine Barracuda / Challenger radio , and not get stuck paying big bucks for a common C body or Truck radio ,which can look "simular" .  Here are some tips you should know . First, All E body radios will have the antenna port located on the bottom
of the radio . C & B body and Truck radios will have the antenna port on the back or the side, never the bottom. Antenna port on the bottom is a feature unique to E body radios only. The next unique feature can be seen when looking at the front of the radio. Notice in the pictures below , the front metal face of the radio. Look toward the bottom . In the lower corners you will see two small "platforms" extending outward , with the alignment pins in the middle. Notice the "platform" on the left is a rectangle shape , and the one on the right is a square shape. ALL E-body radios have this feature , and ONLY E body radios have these . This is the easiest way to identify a true E body radio. It does not matter if it is an AM, AM 8-Track thumbwheel, AM FM Thumbwheel, or AM FM knob style. If it's an E body, it will have a small rectangular platform on the left, and a square on the right . Study the pictures below and see exactly what you just read .Commit that fact to memory, and you will be ok at the swap meet , or e-bay .

Here we have a 1970-71 AM . Notice the station preset buttons
are Chrome . ALL 70 , and most , if not all 71 radios will have chrome
buttons .

Next up, we have a 1970 AM 8-track. This radio is unique to 1970 only. This is the only year an 8-track was available in an E body. Part number 2884 610 .Also notice, this is AM only.
There never was an AM FM 8-track available for E bodies, ever. Period. Those
AM FM 8-track radios you see on e-bay are in fact C body radios.

Now we have a 70-71 AM FM . Notice this is a thumbwheel radio. All 70-71 E body AM FMs are thumbwheel style. There are actually 2 different model designes , however, they are visually identical from the front. The 70 model used a Phillips radio, and 71
used the Motorola unit you see here, with cassette lead on back.  All E body AM FMs
as well as AM 8-tracks are stereo units, and require a 3 speaker dash and crossover box (located behind glove box/ we service these as well).

And finally, we have a 72-74 AM FM.  Knob style, with black buttons of course.
And there you have the entire E body radio lineup, from 1970-1974.
