I have a '72 coupe with a not factory radio. I would like to replace it with a factory look a like radio but with modern features. Did the original radio have "corvette" on it? Was it black or chrome? What modern radio would look original but have lots of modern features to it?

I believe the orginal looked like this:
You can get a replacement that looks like it, but with some updated features. Here's the one Mid America is selling, and probably the other Corvette parts dealers as well: http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette- ... -upgrade-1-307-11234.html
And another: http://radiosrepro.com/1971-1972-1973 ... 1975-1976-corvette-radio/
Custom Autosound and RetroSound both offer "classic look" radios, but they are definitely not going to pass for orginals:
I'm not a stereo guy, so I can't really make any recommendations. Maybe somebody else can chime in.

Here's what the factory correct / after market replicas look like. http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette- ... -upgrade-1-307-11234.html  You'll find there are twp pr three companies that make them, Auto Sound being one of them, and the price ranges from around $350 to near $700. Quality of these units has been MUCH debated, and I've gathered there are folks that would rather find a used original one instead of these after market offerings. Seems the quality is sketchy and for the price you pay, which is near what a plasma flat screen costs...it should be borderline perfect car audio. Another option you may look into, is hiding the after market stereo you have, maybe in a storage compartment where it still functions, and putting a factory original in the dash just for the 'look'. |
