I want a FM radio but dont want to fork out big buck for a original one. I also dont want to go and put some modern radio in the center of my dash. any suggestions?
Keep an older radio in the dash, and install a modern radio under the driver's seat. You can get new ones with a remote so you don't have to 'see' it to operate it.

Any standard 6x9 speaker will work in the back package tray.

How about sending your radio in and having it reworked with modern AM/FM internal stuff. Looks like an OEM unit from the outside with tadays technology. I think it's something around $350.00 of so to do it, and they can install a mp3 jack too....

Something like this?
I likes. Who done it and how much? Did you get a mp3 player input jack on it somewhere?

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.

I had this done to the AM radio in my 69 GTX so that it now has AM and FM. Looks stock from the outside but modern electronics inside to include an MP3 jack. Then I installed modern speakers front and back.
I then downloaded 400 classic rock hits from the 60s and 70s to my MP3 player and can cruise all day long to REAL music.

Hunt down an old FM convertor and put it in the glove box.Hook it up to your factory AM radio. Yard sales,flea markets,etc. Both of my C's have them. Some are on E bay,too http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AUDIOVOX-...sQ5fAccessories
