8), I've gotta say that is one thing I've never seen in a car for sure, never even heard of a record player being in a car for that matter. Still I think it's pretty sweet, now I wanna find a Mopar with that option, that would be something pretty neat to see :thup:. On a side-note I wonder if Ford ever had a setup similar to this? It would be pretty neat to play some of the vinyls I've got (Yes I'm 14 and have some vinyls 8)) in my truck that's for sure!

i think that would have worked great while you were parked. (parking) :D However i would think that it would skip a whole lot if you were driving.

There was a book we read in middle school, thee was a car in it called the "brown bomber" IIRC, and it had a turn table in it called the TT500. Now I really want to remember the name of this book. Crap.

i remember seeing a car on barret-jackson that had that option and mike joy was a happy as a kid with a new toy showing it to everyone, wonder where the records were kept at, because like bobby said dont think they would last long in a hot car with the windows up.
