Compared to the price of an original, they cost a bit more than an original but it has modern technology and claims better sound and reception. Curious if anyone has real world experience to share. I am considering buying one for the convertible. 7760480-68-69repopradio.JPG (55 downloads)

The company that makes these boards has recently made some various improvments in design . We do alot of testing with these boards . Greg gregward@mchsi.com phone 256-852-0955

I need to get one for my 1969 Dart Not sure who makes them but when I first read of them being reproduced in MCG, the name mentioned was Retro Radio, www.retroradio.biz They are available from Herbs, Classic Industries, Year One and probably others. Price is $650 range. Haven't seen one listed for '69 A bodies and not sure how much different a '69 B body one would be.

Cab, search ebay keywords 1969 am-fm radio Their have been some issues in the past, but they have been good about replacing bad boards . Their newest version hopefully has most/all the bugs worked out . As far as a repro radio for the 69 Dart, I don't belive they make it, yet. The B body would be simular other than the push buttons, lense , bezel and mounting stud location. I just got finished doing a 180 watt FM conversion on a 69 Dart AM tonight as a matter o fact . Here is how we do it.. http://wardsclassiccarradiorepair.com/id17.html Greg gregward@mchsi.com phone 256-852-0955
