radio setup question

[mopar410]

Just got my cuda last week it's a numbers matching 72 not original color tho its gy9 tawny gold met.It has the r26 radio option which is the am radio with cassette.Well from what I've read the console mount was a 71 option only,the thing is this car was biult in 11-71 and sold or picked up 12-71 so it may have been ordered with the console mount radio with the mic.So is this an extremely rare setup?the car is a matching # 340 car.

Thanks the info I found said they switched in 72 with a radio cassette unit in one.So it was available in 72,I tell ya that is one crazy looking device.I don't think it works tho.maybe just not hooked up as the radio wasn't being used.

They were also available in 1973 !!!!!!!!
And they all were seperate units. Radio in dash-cassette on the floor.

USED Mopar 1971-73 Coiled Cord Microphone on eBay for $5.00 starting price. Now all you need is all the rest and I bet that won't be easy.
