    What would this NOS setup be worth?

    It's not the AMC AM/FM CB combo, but's it's a midland I've had for a long time, in it's orignal box..from a garage sale...$5.00...yes this stuff is still wrapped up and it's from 1977...and though its wrapped up it's got this 'electric plastic' smell to it.

    I thought maybe I'd install this in my Jeep, but....what do you guys think? Worth? Etc...

    Best way to find out what it is worth would be to put it on ebay with no reserve... I predict total insanity.

    That is sweet, I'd love to put it in the ChopTop.

      It's worthless. Wrap it back up and send it to me for disposal.

            Well, if it had the 8-track AND the cassette deck along with the AM-FM-CB...THEN you would be holding something of value! But since it is missing these 2 critical options, it appears to be worth about $10 based on DAH's ebay finding.

            Tell you what. You are good person and a member of this board, so I tell you what I am going to do.. Now I wouldn't do this for just anyone, but I feel we are friends here. I will DOUBLE your money and give you $20!

            And I will even pay the actual shipping cost (don't go tossing any "handling" fees at me, now).

            So, $20 plus shipping. Hey, what are friends for..
            One day I will wake up and realize that my jeep is complete...one day, I just know it.

                1980 J20 Utility bed truck. Factory cab and chassis truck. Many new mods for it but it will look all stock.
                1985 J10 nothing special just a nice clean stock truck.
                1977 Honcho "Blue" 401/400/quad. Under going major upgrades.."This is Not Your Fathers Honcho", it may not even be a Honcho anymore when done.
                2017 Challenger. Very jealous of the Jeeps.

                          that thing is soooo rad!
                          and it even comes with a window sticker!!

                          about 8 months ago I bought an NOS Cobra AM/FM/8track/CB from ebay for $50.

                          so you'll do better then $5 but won't be able to retire on it.
                          personally I do think the box will make it go higher.

                          if you do put it up on ebay, let us know. I'd like to watch it's progress.
                          Only question I ever thought was hard was "Do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?"

                            Oh I'm just curious what it might go for.

                            Why I haven't installed it, is because I have the stock am/fm/cb by AMC...

                            we'll see...
