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

I=E2=80=99d look for a remote mounted radio to put in the trunk. Remote head=
s are generally smaller than full radios. It also gives you the capability o=
f adding other functions such as CD changer or internet it satellite radio.=20=
