early working craig radio

[SProfita]

I have an early working Craig radio i will be posting pics of for ebay this week. The tuner, sisplay, and knobs function. Nothing broken. Will be testing the cassette player function as well. Open to offer, thinking around 450 OBO. Just a starting point. Very flexible on price. My email is [email protected] and number is 316-312-4242 as it is very easy to text pics and vids of functions of radio. Coming out of #4590 with 8,200 miles. Thanks!

Just to give advice, NEVER put your phone # or email address on the open form unless you want never-ending spam.

Yes. Oct 81 builds all had the Craig.

[SProfita]

Yes, it is the Craig that has the display within the cassette tape flap. Tested the cassette player and it doesnt work. Not as interested in selling now, but if i did, the orice would be less, obviously.

Thanks

The early radios had no clock. Once they added an integral clock function it coincided with removal of the console clock. Therefore Charlie you would be looking for a later Craig with integral clock on an October build. We have both available.

I've got an October '81 build and it has a dash clock and no clock function on the original Craig radio so I wouldn't consider it a hard, fast rule. It appears that the Oct '81 cars bridge several gaps because there have been other items I've been told are a certain way in my build time frame that absolutely aren't accurate on my car and it's 98% original.

I thought they were into the 5000 range by then but I was going on memory. The thing to look for is whether you have a radio clock or not making a console clock redundant. As I recall they were pretty consistent about supplying one or the other and not both or none. I'd love to here of any exceptions on an NOS radio car.

That's consistent with my VIN. FWIW.

Does anybody have a car with a Craig w/ clock, and also the clock in the console? It seems like the cutoff point for the change is fuzzy, but it does seem like they were pretty good at not giving any cars two clocks or no clocks.

I'm sure there are cars out there with both but only because the Radio W/O clock was not available as a replacement for long so I recall having to install the later radio in early cars a few times in the 80's and 90's.

I'm like 90% certain that my car had both a console clock, as well as a Craig radio with a clock. I know that the flap itself lit up and displayed the stations whenever I tuned the radio. But I never got to play with it much before I had it replaced, and never got the radio back...

Don't know the VIN, but here is another car that claims to have dual clocks as well from the factory:

Im debating on keeping it and having the cassette player fixed and bluetooth enabling it...maybe another week i will take it down from posting. $250 to fix and bluetooth it

[SProfita]

Price drop, IM for details

Mid October they crossed over into the 5000's is my guess. Mine is 5778 and was built in the afternoon on Oct 28th (Wednesday). So at 80 cars a day, about 2 weeks or 10 business days earlier about the morning of October 16th (Friday), would have seen VIN 5000. Mine has the console clock. I have an aftermarket stereo when purchased so I don't know about the original radio :(

--Doug

(Going off my build date, doing the math per 80 a day for October, you can deduce when yours was built.)

It would be nice to have gotten a picture of 5778 being built like they do for today's Corvettes. A buddy of mine had his 2016 Corvette special ordered and paid $150 for the picture of it on the assembly line.

See! Another source of revenue DMC could have had :)

My vin is 4941..... I have center console clock with no clock in radio. I would think that mine would be among the last 60 or so units to come this way... Build date- Oct 10 1981. Does this seem accurate?
Thanks

I am going off of the date written on top of my doors (cave drawings too), The part that doesn't make sense is that Oct 10 was a Saturday....

11408 had this setup. Craig with clock and a clock in the console. Both work too!

Which I find confusing.

Sold thanks for the interest and the info, everybody!
