Neil,

Haven't done this myself, my Roadster is a '70 and I'm getting ready to
sell it anyway, but take a look at Custom Auto Sounds (
http://tinyurl.com/y2fgwe37). They offer a wide variety on new radios for
old cars, including models where the unit is hidden other than is the
original location.

HTH,
Ron
