At least for '68 (and maybe '69 due to remaining inventory) the Corvair 
Stereo equipment was the same as the Pontiac Firebird except for the Chevy vs 
Pontiac emblems.  I owned one of each (until I sold the Pontiac unit).  Got them 
from a local radio shop that did a lot of dealer work for local GM dealers.  I 
bought the Delco manuals as well.  One of these days when the kids are out of 
college I might even use them.

i think they showed a fm radio in the service literature for 64 corvair but 
never made it happen. i have seen several with the 71-72 truck am fm or even 
stereo units in them.  they fit and looked factory.  myself i made my own from a 
pontiac unit that used the end pushbuttons as band change and put corvair 
buttons on it.  no one ever picked up on it. it was in my 64 spyder convert.(i 
worked in delco radio repair from 65-77). regards, tim colson
