the thing with an aftermarket CD player you have to cut the radio bezel to install it and then there is no way of going back to the way it once was. I personaly like the look of the shaft style radio in a vintage car, but to each their own

that is the way i went and i got it off amazon.com with 2 speakers for under 70 bucks

I believe before I would cut to fit I would mount it in the glove box,but to each there own.You can always buy a used piece that has not been cut to return it to stock. Just my two cents.
Turkeys walk.Eagles fly!!!

another option is to find a later model parts eagle that had the digital display radio and swap the center dash panel. It would be the simulated wood grain so you would probably want to grab the glove box door and the gauge cluster trim too so it all matches. :)
