where you put aftermarket radio?
Hello. i am looking at a 69 chevelle which actually has the original AM radio in the dash. given i want to keep the original look to the car, where do you folks suggest a person could put a aftermarket AMFM /I POD radio? i don't want to mount under dash as i would want to keep that area clean. the AM radio works per seller. the car is a bucket seat/console Malibu. thanks for suggestions.

You can get a modern radio, no CD player, that will fit in the opening of the original radio. Check with the suppliers. NPD, Ground Up, etc.

I mounted mine under the dash in a boat type radio enclosure .

There are vendors out there that can update the internals without changing the appearance. Going that route with the factory am/fm radio in my 72'.

They sell a radio that looks original, but is updated. You just keep the original and can always put it back in down the road.

I got my original AM. On the shelf with my extra clutch pedals. Thing weighs 50 lbs it seems like.
My first chevelle had the oddball AM stereo deal in it. |
