My '56 Corvette still sports its Realistic 8-track under the dash, but get this: a Bradford (W.T. Grant)FM conversion unit that slides into the 8-track to give you FM radio. It still works perfectly in fact I have been driving this car this fall and listening to it just like I did at age 17. My old lacquer job (1974) is falling off but you can't see that when your're behind the wheel. The 4:56's are getting a bit much with the Corvette side pipes tucked up behind the rockers, might look for a 3:70 center section. How about this for a thrill: drove by a high school girlfriends parents house last Sunday, she happened to be in town and out front of the house, I pulled in driveway and they looked as if I was driving a spaceship, totally freaked them out, that Corvette had not shook the windows on that house for 30 years, we had a great laugh and a little tears too. I think I got her with the car in the first place.
