Default audio in 66

I have a 66 that I just repainted. When I put the car back together, I changed the antenna to an electric that goes all the way down so I could cover the car. The original radio worked somewhat. I would like some kind of original looking audio system in the car. Hooking up the new antenna alone seems like quite a job especially for a so so radio.

Can anyone suggest a audio store in Northern Virginia that they would trust to upgrade or replace the original system in a 66 Corvette?

been out of the C2 side for awhile as I sold mine but what I did was have the guts taken out of my radio and changed for a new digital version but it still looked original.. you might want to post in the C2 section. I forgot who did mine but a quick search with BING came up with this guy.. http://www.vintageautoradio.com/inde...mart&Itemid=67
