<VV> 1965-1969 convertible rear speaker enclosure

[Mark Corbin]

Tom,

I sure can. I have an original ‘67 stereo tape speaker system in my ‘67 convertible. I can verify that the one on the right (the one you got off eBay) is the authentic factory issue speaker housing.  At least for ‘67, anyway. I do know that the rear speaker for the coupe/4door  for ‘65 is different from the ‘66-later models. I can’t vouch for the convert version, though.

To Clark’s: Mark & Cathy, if you want to reproduce the EXACT factory housing, I would be willing to loan you one of mine for a pattern. Usual arrangements apply, of course.

Subject: 1965-1969 convertible rear speaker enclosure

I wish to install a rear speaker in my 1966 Corsa convertible at a future date.  Initially, I purchased a used late model Corvair rear speaker enclosure off ebay.  The seller did say it was removed from a late model Corvair.  I then purchased Clark's C10638 1966 reproduction enclosure unit.  There is a definite difference in these two units.  Please see the attached photos.  The Clark's 1966 unit is on the left and the ebay unit is on the right.  Can anyone confirm which one is correct for the 1966 model year?  Cal, I see you also have a 1965 rear speaker box (exact repro) listed under part number C10082.  Is it possible 1965 was a different style from 1966?  Does anyone have the original 1966 optional rear convertible speaker unit on their vehicle?  All comments are appreciated.
