Can't seem to find the exact answer to my question using 'forum search'.

I have a 67 XR-7 with the original padded console. The car's previous owner put a Kenwood stereo in the car which I'm now ready to replace with an original AM radio. There does not appear to be any modification to the mounting area. Can I use any 1967 Mercury radio, or is there a difference between the radio used in a console and non-console model? Thanks, y'all.

I think the shafts are longer with the XR7 setup

Shafts are the same for any 1967 Cougar radio, and were the same in '68 although the '68 radios have black plastic preset buttons instead of the chrome preset buttons used in '67.

The plastic knobs are different for console applications.

Thanks, Royce.

I clicked the "Buy It Now" button on Ebay and my nice Mercury AM radio is on the way!
