When was the Yellow light MPX stereo introduced?

After talking with Mr. NICKY Nova, he told me that his 69 Z has a build date of the first week in June 1969. He will try to look for the date sticker on the radio. I will keep you posted if he finds it.

Stefano, you missed a good MOPAR show in Belvedere.

You'll have to let me know what showed up. I did score an NOS Shelby gauge which I needed at 'Skips', other than that I hate to say that it wasn't worth the trip.

Mr. NICKY Nova told me that he did find a sticker on his radio. He said that he could not find an identifiable date on the sticker. Is there a way to decode the date/sticker?

L78, According to this website http://WWW.Chevelles.com/radiotech/database.html The date is in the model number, but it is only the year. For example if the model # is 91BFM2 this means it is a 9=1969, 1=chevrolet, B=B body or full size car, FM= AM/FM stereo pushbutton with hidden MPX, 2=Second design run. My radio has an aditional sticker with a date of 5/14/9 that the website has no information on. Thank for the help guys.

Jerehiah,
I will pass the date info on. I will confirm if there is a date code. Also were the month / day / year separated by the forward slash in your indentified date? Let me know.

The main transistor in the back has a date code. Can't remember if it is visible on that model.

L78, No the date is not seperated by the forwad slash. I am assuming it is a date because of it fitting the build date of the car perfectly. Maybe that 9 means 79, Its a long shot but it could be possible that the radio was repaired on 5/14/ of 79? The sticker does not say Rebuilt it just has what apears to be a date. The car was assembled on the first week of june. Thanks for the help.

Can you post a picture of the sticker?

Jeremiah,
Sorry, I was not trying to imply that the 9 was for "79".I asked because my friend said that he found a five digit number after the radio serial #. The five digits were also larger font size. The number as listed was 1059. we were thinking that if this was a date code it would put the date at October 5th 1969. which would probably mean that this was not the correct radio for the car. But right now we are just guessing on the date code.

I still have the Blue light multi-plex stereo that I pulled out of my first 1969 Camaro back in 1979.

The round transistor on the back reads: Delco GM
DS 50
6848

The white tag on the right side reads: Service Model No 91BFM2

Serial NO 31FSC-1118
Product No 730 7331

Delco Radio Division G.M.C. Kokomo, Indiana

The part number on the buttons is 7306391

There is a number above the left control Knob 730 7746-1

Now if I could only find the Camaros Vin number?

It was a neat Camaro: Silver with Black vinyl top and Deluxe interior.

I purchased it from the original owner who bought it off the showroom floor. He told me that it was a real Z28 and that he traded a Boss Mustang in on it, once he got his doors blown off on his first encounter with a Z28.

It was a bargin at $700.00 as it only had just over 100,000 original one owner miles on it back then.
