Well it took about 7 months of family issues and health issues to pass but I am finally pounding on my 66 coupe again.
I have almost completed the installation of the radio cut out filler plate (with my personal mods and touch) and I want to get a radio for my car. It sure takes some effort and time to replace what someone cut away in about 10 minutes!
Of course I am going for the original look, but I think getting a modern radio is what I prefer, one that could have a cd option since radio broadcasts these days, well... suck!
I browsed at Ebay and read on one CJ Poney sells for over $200.00. I think I will place two speakers on the rear deck, (unless there is a better way) as we did as kids back in the 60's and attempt to place two speakers somewhere up front.
Keep in mind I am not going for earthshaking bass as some of the young folks do, I am attempting to preserve the hearing I have left and will need for about 20 more years.
If you went with a new retro looking radio please post your experiences.
TIA
