Default Car stereo experts...Need some ideas.

Just about to finish up the new interior, and I'm at the point of putting in the seats.....Then I look at the empty radio slot in the dash and it occurred to me that now would be a good time to wrestle a new stereo in under the dash.

I'm not interested in boom box, with mirror shaking sound, just a decent full sounding system that I might be able to connect to either a cd changer, or usb drive, and have it look sort of stock. Like the old school Pioneer Supertuners, or Kenwood sets from the 80's, but with usb and aux inputs. (shaft mount style to fit the dash without cutting)

Anyone know where I might even find something like this other than Retro Sound? Also I'd like to see some pics of what you guys are doing for stereo installs......to get some ideas.

I am restoring my 1981 to completly stock .

But I have a new in the box updated Covette radio that would fit your car and it has the options your looking for.

If you have the right ORIGINAL radio that I am looking for , I`d be interested in a even up trade......

Call me a 952-435-5856 and lets talk
