My second classic 500 thread of the day...

I bought my car with a pair of crappy looking speakers on the back shelf. I decided to remove them today but in order to manage it I had to remove a wing nut from behind the air intakes. The position of it (and the low quality of the other bodges on this car) made me think maybe, just maybe, they were an original option? They look quite 70s.

Anyone any idea?

Those speakers would be late 70's early 80's.

I can imagine that a stereo speaker system would have ben an original option on a 500. They may have had a mono speaker in or under the dash

What makes you think they're late 70s? I believe you just interested in how you know.

I've managed to find them elsewhere http://kingrat2010.blogspot.nl/2011/10/massive-oe-...

Given your dating, and this site then they're not originals - out they come!

They just look like the stuff I remember from the period!

They look late 70s/early 80s to me, not early 70s as the 500F is.. If the 500 had anything as an option it would be very basic.
