...on Ebay. A factory Ford radio!

6 disc in-dash CD changer that reads MP3s, built by Pioneer. I'm looking forward to not changing CDs for at least a month. On average, I can fit 175 songs per CD in MP3 format, so that's over 1000 songs right there without having to worry about dragging an iPod back and forth, etc. Plus, the color scheme matches my interior, it's simple to use, and it's double-DIN, so the horrible ABS piece that came in the previous owner's install kit is fucking history.

Life is good.

Ebay is your friend Mark... I mean, yeah, it's a tool of the Devil, but you can still get yourself a deal.

Good deal, man! Must've "fallen off the back of the truck", huh?

I think that's a great score, but personally it looks a little too high tech for a retro FB.

I'm a retro kinda guy. Its hip to be retro, haven't you heard?

It's however not hip to drive around with a stereo that's so old it can't reproduce modern music without distorting like a bitch.

Good score. I have no idea what that thing is out of however, I've never seen one. A couple of the Mustangs I had for company vehicles had the Mach stereos in them with the 6 disc, they were pretty nice.

There are plenty of headunits that match an older interior perfectly. I'm planning on getting a Nakamichi for my FB. Not flashy and subtle.

Thank you.

It's from some Canadian guy, so does anyone know if Canada has different Ford models/options than the US? I've driven the Mustangs with the indash changer, that's why I jumped all over this when I saw it... 6 disc + MP3... :worship:

Nakamichis, albeit excellent head untis, are NOT $125. Hell, I don't think I've ever seen one below $600; although, I must be honest in saying that I haven't done thorough searching for them.

Yeah, he put on the auction that it "works perfectly." Sure it does. That's why it was shipped with 6 discs in it, and I had to take it apart to get them out. Luckily, I caught it in time to open the dispute, or I would have been fucked.

He refunded me the money, didn't even ask for the CD player back.

No. I disassembled it, I think one of the motors is shot.

But, I found a new headunit I like better on Ebay, so that's what I'm going to go with.
