: Original look, but new electronics

I am looking for a cd/receiver for my 69 that looks like the original equipment, but has todays electronics in it.
I remember seeing a catalogue a couple years ago that had them in it, and thought how good of an idea it was. But I was in the throes of drive train design and cam specs...
Now that I am finally driving the beast I am looking for interior creature comforts, and that includes a nice stereo.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

daveseitz posted this in a thread I read recently but haven't followed up on yet:

A cmpany in Blaine Minnesota does a conversion on your old unit. This conversion guts the old radio and replaces all the components with topline components. The end result looks stock but puts out a High power and has a pigtail for CD or MP3 player. Costs about $300 bucks and keeps the kids from targeting your car for audio gear.


Hope this helps,

This place will do a conversion on your old stock radio, but its not cheap
