Question
Hello, just purchased a 1979 AMC Concord. The model I purchased didn't come with power brakes or a radio. The power brake issue I can resolve but I'm hoping to restore the radio with a refurbished original, or an AM/FM from around the same time period. Any suggestions on where to find one? Or any information about the '79. There's not much out there about these beauties...thanks!
1979 AMCs had weird sized radios. A few placed to find one would be:
1) E Bay
2) Craigslist
3) Google "AMC Parts" and inquire at numerous AMC Vendors
4) Collier AMC in Pikeville, NC. 919-242-4462 (An old AMC dealer with hundreds of AMCs sitting on their lot)
