Those vintage FM converters are indeed the cheapest way to get into some FM. E-bay is full of them , and you can find them usually for under $ 50, often times "new" in the box .

Not sure I would describe them as “modern” by any means however. The FM converters are just as (if not more) antiquated as the factory radios.

Maybe more trouble than you want but I made a console and dropped a stereo in it with the 5 1/4" speakers. 6x9s went under the package tray. The console is removable and you'd never know it was there.




Looks like a nice job on it. I always wanted an armrest and cupholders in my car...




most of the ones I see look like a kid made them in arts and crafts class.

I just use an MP3 player with an amp mounted in the trunk with 6x9 speakers. I got a 20 ft cable with the small earphone plug on one end and rca jacks on the other. Stock AM radio sits in the dash.

Why would you listen to the radio. Most entertaining talk radio is gone now, and Rush is on AM, so just use an iPod, or something with what you really want to listen to on it.

I don't think retro sound works in the Mopars.

They are the best setups for classic cars.
I just put one in the 68 Chevy CST and the
sound is amazing. It has extra RCA hookups
for a 10 rack Sony CD player and two amps.
The best part is the USB port, that will
play up to 999 songs. I don't think I even
know 999 songs.

The RetroSound units have have a 1-piece nose (size = 1 1/2" x 3 1/2")for "Classic Sound" in chrome face only & the "Model One" in black or Chrome face.

Not sure about other Mopars, my B-body has two openings (AM dial & push buttons), not sure how to deal with that & the bezel for each model.

It's my understanding their units do not have CD-changer control.

I do love the infinitely adjustable shaft knobs.

They do offer versions of the "Model One" for
- 71-75 Roadrunners &
- 67-69 Darts
