Hi there,
Looks like someone got to this already, so I will add what I can. For the record, I was thinking exactly what RS was thinking, and agree with his suggestion 100%.
I wanted to see if I couldn't find you one that was brand new, as that is what you really want if you can get it, so I spent some time on eBay crafting a rather involved search string to help you assemble your 8-track to iPod or iPod to 8-track adaptor, however you want to look at it.
Now, the reason I don't list direct links to the eBay auctions is that you may not get to this right now. This way, you will always have a link to the latest selection of components for creating your iPod to 8-track converter:

... You are in luck! (At the moment.)
There are a couple which are both brand new in box, and very cheap(inexpensive.)
Another suggestion for you: Buy a tape head de-magnetizer and tape head cleaner, then use them on your 8-track deck before you start this mp3 listening adventure. You will be so much happier with the result.
You may also want to replace the hidden factory speakers in your car with similarly sized models of a more modern design. It won't show as being aftermarket, since they are hidden, but you will likely be happier with the sound.
All that aside, there just MAY be a much easier way to adapt your vintage car stereo to your iPod or other mp3 player:
How about an iPod to radio adaptor? A little FM transmitter that hooks up to your iPod or other mp3 player and broadcasts to your FM radio.
If you have a working FM radio in the vehicle, this is by far the better way to do this.
You can buy an FM transmitter for the iPod (all generations) and any mp3 player at nearly ANY store that has an electronics section. Even the local drug store here carries them. :-)
Good luck bringing new tunes to the old ride.
DN.
P.S. When you leave feedback, would you mind telling me what car you are converting, and which method you ended up using? Thanks!

i very highly doubt it. however, there are 8track to tape converters like this one

so you can buy that, and an ipod/cassette connector which are fairly cheap.
