Want a radio for my GT.
This is what I have now, but the lights are white.... really need the red.
This one works, but I am just funny that way.
A Monsoon would be fine also... old picture from the previous owner when I was looking to buy the car, looks much nicer inside now.
PM me here, or email me with cost and shipping to 53157.

Contact Fiero Tom on the fourm. He did my monsoon radio and it works great. He always has one in stock.

Isn't it possible for you just change the color of the bulb?

I could, but I am hoping to upgrade to a cd player.
I have an older Alpine CDA-9847 just sitting around that I use to run in my Fiero's.
It has adjustable colors that match the dash lights well,, but really like the look of the stock radio better.
Fiero Thomas, good suggestion!
I just PM'd Fiero Tom, hopefully he has something ready to go.

So you are looking for a stock radio with the casette player or you want to get one with a CD player?
I have one that came out of my 88.

Either way would be fine TXGOOD.
I just want to keep it factory looking.
Yours looks good if you are willing to part with it.

That's interesting; I wonder if some 88s had the pushbutton volume and tuning controls and some had regular knobs? I have one from another '88 and it has regular knobs (UX1 equalizer radio also). Must be another of those mid-year changes.

Thanks TXGOOD, looking forward to getting it installed.
And, thanks to all who pm'd me about their radios.
Good to know we can still get original parts from each other at least.

Forgot to update this.
Radio arrived and is in!
Working great once I grounded it properly, and really has a different look to it that I really like.
Thanks TXGOOD!
Edit: This was totally a plug and play upgrade for me, no adapter needed.
