1963-64 Chevy II & 1963-64 Corvair AM/FM/Bluetooth Dream Line Radio

Description

*The radio will fit without any modification to the dash but does not appear stock as the AM/FM option was not available prior to 1965. Learn more about our Dream Line Radios.

Our 1963-64 Chevy II & Corvair radio is part of our dream line and is designed to look, fit, and feel like the original, but it is not an exact copy.

This dream line model has the exact fit of the original radio. It comes with the correct knobs, backrings, and pushbuttons that look and feel authentic but also comes with a slidebar and ‘roll over dial’ to switch between AM and FM, which was not available on the original AM-only radio. With this added feature, you can switch the slidebar to roll the dial from the AM dial scale to the FM dial scale.

Behind the dash, the radio case is only 3” deep, allowing room for air conditioning and other options to be added. This radio does not have a digital display. When the radio is powered on, the dial pointer, knobs, and pushbuttons all move and work like the original.

Every radio comes equipped with Bluetooth® for wireless audio streaming and hands-free phone control. Other features include a 3.5mm auxiliary port to plug in any compatible device, such as an MP3 player, a CD player, or an updated cassette/8 track player, as well as another input jack specifically designed to work with our foot control switch. Each radio comes with a 12 ½” 12 wire harness with male and female connections for easy connection/disconnection. This harness includes power, ground, a 12-volt output wire (for options like a power antenna or amplifier remote connection), 4 speaker connections, and dial lights. The radio also has 4 channel RCA outputs for an external amplifier and a subwoofer RCA output. Please see the links below for more information.
