Default Question about TE Ghias

What kind of radio did they come with originally?

AM exclusive , AM/FM or AM/FM Cassette?

Cheers.

I can't answer exactly, but in 1977 I think an FM band would've been pretty unusual in an Australian-built car wouldn't it? I think 2DAY-FM & 2MMM-FM started in Sydney in 1980, and 2JJ moved to FM & became 2JJJ in 1981.
A Ghia would most likely have had a cassette player though; I'm guessing, but reckon I'd be odds-on.

In 1977 AM was standard in the GL and Ghia. AM/FM multiplex push button was optional. Cassete player was also optional and this was a seperate head to the radio, same as the XC Falcon/Fairmont. I can dig up the prices new if you want them.
