shelbymotorsports Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I need to find a factory radio for my 1987 GLHS. Does anybody know the part number, have a picture or can give a description of the correct unit for these cars? Below is a pic of what it looks like. The radio came two ways, one version is silver/chrome and the other is black. You want the black version. Chrysler part #'s: 4372442 Black 4372443 Silver/Chrome Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLHS60 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks Steve, I knew you would have the information I needed! Stephen I might have an extra one. If you don't find one closer I can check my stash to find out for sure. Thanks Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Randy So then the 87 radio IS different than the 86 model, right? I always thought they were the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Randy Thanks Randy I think I'll prowl the wreckers first and see if I can't find one, but it's good to know I have options. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry The 1986 GLHS received almost the lowest priced radio available, an AM/FM with NO cassette. Below is a pic of it. The 1987 GLHS received the top of the line radio, well top of the line for an L24. This radio was part of the sun/sound/shade option package available on the Chargers. It wouldn't surprise me if the 1000 cars were ordered with that option but with the shade part deleted. To me it was always strange how most of the Whittier cars came with close to the worst radios available when you consider the demographic the cars were marketed to. I've just always assumed the bean counters figured if it had a faceplate and some sort of sound emitted from it then it was good enough.

sdac guy Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I think my 86 GLHT might have the cassette upgrade radio, but the faceplate in your pic looks familiar. It's been years since I've sat in the car though (in storage) so I don't recall exactly. I'll make a note to look at it the next time I am over there. Thanks Steve!

shelbymotorsports Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Barry Another thing to keep in mind is that the Omni had only two speakers where the Charger had four speakers. The extra speakers in the Charger allowed it to receive higher grade radio options compared to the Omni. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glhs0075 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I love successful days at the local Pick N Pull! Today I found a black cassette deck part #4372442 in a 1987 Lebaron GTS! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
