    8 track fitment BEFORE HZ SLE

    Just wondering where the 8 tracks were installed BEFORE HZ SLE???
    I know that on the SLE's had a special spot in the centre console, but not sure about USUAL fitment in HJ & HX statesmans.
    Pics to support this would be FANTASTIC!!!!

    That's right, they did.
    But i think it's still the same centre console.

    Here's a HJ Caprice that seems to have that console too. Can't see if the 8 track is there though.

    That's the standard Caprice console, LE & SLE were built as the equivalent models, LE was virtually a 2 door Caprice (fitted with nearly every luxury option available) and SLE used Caprice model code 8WT as thus far my research has shown that only SLE's were built after production of the long wheelbase cars moved to Elizabeth after June 79. It looks as though Statesman/Caprice production ended in Mar 79 when Pagewood ceased making HZ's.

    Did your Statesman get the Caprice console or was it put under the dash? Next question were they a factory or dealer option?

    Just to clarify, the Stateman SLE was fitted with a cassette player but no 8 Track, just checked my SLE and the brochure. It is mounted in the centre console as is noted in this thread though.
