G'day people,

I finally managed to get a hold of a glovebox liner for my '82. It has holders for "8 track" built into it. Was this standard for all Corvettes at the time? If not, are they rare enough that I would be banished to an eternity swimming through donkey vomit if I removed the holders?

Thanks for any help...

My 82 has them. Correction has half of them. The other half is probably keeping my toolbox level.

At least your lucky. I've unsuccesfully been looking for a glovebox liner for my 68 going on 6-months.

It's one of those Corvette anomalies I've never understood...EVERY 82 I've seen (I've owned two and looked at hundreds) has the 8 track glove box. Suspect it was a carry over from the 80 or 81 model...the General didn't want to rush into that cassette thing!

...watch youself over there.

Mine does not have the 8 track holders....
Us CE guys were way ahead of you OTHER 82 owners..... :p:

Phew, I thought they might have been ultra rare and I would be ex-communicated from the Corvetting world if I was to modify it. I think I'll remove the holders and as the glovebox is a "lovely" brown colour, I reckon I'll line it with some black or maybe red carpet.

For goodness sake, please don't mention this to the Is-It-Genuine-Corvette-If-Not-You've-Ruined-It gang. It'll start a new topic and we'll never hear the end of it!!

Thnks guys

hmmm, wonder what those holders will pull on ebay...

"Rare, high performance 8-Track tape holders..."

An aftermarket kit? My understanding was that no early C3 had GB's... I'd love to be wrong, though.

the 8-track holders are pretty common. You got these from the factory when ordering the 8-track option. I can't believe someone was still ordering an 8-track player in '82.

Yep, My '81 has the 8 track rack aswell, makes the glove box pretty much unusable for anything else.

There are only TWO situations in which I open my glovebox:

1) I need to update my car's registration / insurance information.

2) I need to give my car's registration / insurance information to the police officer.

I was kidding you. I was wondering how long before someone caught that. There is no glove boxes until 1978. They had map holders and the 68 had NOTHING

David made a joke...

Didn't they put betamax tape holders in the CEs?

woa you had me confused for a second there, i was like my 69 dont have no glove box! just a useless pocket. long day at work

I pulled mine out. They are in the box of misc car parts.

My 78 had them.

They pop out pretty easily. They can also be snapped back in to place.

Somebody restoring a 78-82 to NCRS standards would probably love to find them on ebay if you were wanting to sell them.

I just pulled mine out, and didn't even break them, now the glovebox is usable, whoo hoo!!

Anyone who wants them for nothing, send me an email superstar@videotron.ca

No thanks, I reckon I'll just pull them out and bin them when the glovebox arrives - I don't even actually know what an 8 track is!!!!
