If looking for originality, I believe that's the cheapest option. Gutting your original radio for today's technology was pretty pricey the last time I checked.

If it were my car, I'd purchase one of the brand new, "modified" console bezels that accommodate a current "single DIN" stereo, and enjoy the higher powered, ipod capable head unit.

The retro sound units will give you IPod capability, I believe you can also add CD changers to their head units if desired. The vendors all sell them on their websites.

Do a search. You'll see more than a few complaints as to the lifespan. I went with a single din. Warranty is great until it runs out.
