[DeTomaso] CD Players- What works in a Pantera?

[Larry Weston]

Go to your local car audio shop and see if they have any used units. I got a retired Kenwood unit (I think it was) installed in my beater F-150 for a whopping $100. Hooked up to the existing speakers, it works just fine.

This, despite many long road-trips of 10-hour drives a day, etc. Before complicating your life, how much are you really going to use it? How much did you listen to the radio in the Goose? I'm perhaps exaggerating about the 7 minutes, because I did listen to the radio when washing the car. Despite the instructions saying that the head unit needed to be mounted horizontal, the CD's play just fine with the vertical installation

>> Greetings!   Need some help with radio selection......
>> 
>> Our 74 recently came to us without a radio of any sort.  Just a big ugly football shaped hole....for a two post radio.  In my collection of parts, I have "spare" Pioneer single CD capable models (removable face plate) that proclaim in the instructions not to mount them above about a 45 degree angle!
>> I have not yet tested this...need to find old Celine Dion CD first.....
>> I know that there are Bluetooth devices, plug-in storage devices, wireless radio, etc that "can make my life easier"  (tell that to IOS 11 updaters!!!).......but I'm not all that yet.  I pay enuf for phones, internet, TV....that I really don't need or desire another multiple hundreds of dollars investment just to get tunes.  I can buy new AC hoses.....with that money!!!!   Then I can be "cool" and listen to "my music"....
>> SO, I throw out to you two questions....."what CD player works in your Pantera while mounted sideways and at a 30-45 degree angle upwards????   (I will be looking to modify my dash opening to accept a standard DIN unit.)   I'm not really interested in a multiple CD player remotely mounted either........ BTDT.
>> 
>> AND, if you have a Pioneer, does it work for CD's and if so, what model?
>> 
>> So far I have heard of one Kenwood model that the owner reports works just fine.
>> What say you??
>> Thanks in advance!
